We believe the sale to Ferrero is not only beneficial for 2 Sisters Food Group, but it means a positive future for the Fox’s brand with an owner who has a compatible culture and a global reputation for high-quality branded chocolate and biscuit products.” The Burton’s deal, which requires regulatory approval, is set to finally bring about a long-rumoured merger between Burton’s Biscuits, based in St Albans, and its rival, Fox’s. The combined group will be the third largest biscuit maker in the UK, according to analysts at Euromonitor, behind Pladis, the owner of McVitie’s, and now almost level with Mondelez, which owns Cadbury, Ritz and TUC. Bath Olivers, one of Britain’s favourite biscuits has been granted a reprieve, as production has restarted following an outcry over their disappearance. Let’s start off with the most classic crime in British food history – taking away the Dream bar. They started to disappear 10 years ago, but apparently, you can get them in B&M stores. If you see any please help a girl out and send some my way. 2. Oddities

Goblin Teasmade Now a mid-20th century icon, the Goblin Teasmade - which first appeared in 1936 - was one of the first… Not that upset this one is gone, but if you’re going to eat healthy sweets you might as well get to play with them first. 30. KitKat senses

Time Out bars were elite. Despite the wafers, they had a deep chocolatey flavour and were perfect post swimming lessons. However, after poor sales, they were discontinued in 2016. Not only was it an ice cream but you got the added extra surprise of all those Smarties at the bottom. 18. Smarties Mini Chocolate Cakes

Rivals Burton's Biscuits, which owns the Jammie Dodgers brand, and Biscuit International, one of Europe's largest makers of private label biscuits, had also expressed an interest in Fox's Biscuits. Commenting on the merger, Browne said: “ After many years of looking at one another, we are excited about bringing together two businesses that share the same passion for crafting British biscuits with care, quality and innovation.’’ ​ The returning BN range includes BN Chocolate, BN Vanilla, Mini BN Chocolate and Mini BN Strawberry flavour and they are bound to put a smile on adults and kids everywhere.The latest auction had been taking place as 2 Sisters's parent Boparan Holdings looked to reduce its large debt pile. Coke with lemon just works so well, it’s almost criminal that they took it away from us. I could always go and buy a lemon, slice it up and put my coke in a glass, but seriously, who has the time? 33. Flake Snow A trip to the cinema wouldn’t be complete without a bag of these. Unlike most multi-choice confectionary bags, this bag literally doesn’t have a bad option. Chewy, crispy or soft – they’re all delicious and you had the added element of fun of wondering which type you were going to get. Why did they have to take away our fun? 8. Crispello

Eagle-eyed Daily Telegraph readers spotted their curious absence from supermarket shelves in October with owner Pladis, formerly known as United Biscuits, saying the pandemic had caused it to cease production of the British stalwart. I wonder if you could help me identify a biscuit that I remember from my early childhood which has almost certainly been discontinued now. During the late 60s/early 70s I looked forward to visits to my Grandparents' house where the class of biscuit was always a cut above that served up in our own household. Cafe Noir was often on offer, but there was also another biscuit (most probably made by the same company as Cafe Noir). It was an rectangular iced biscuit, but the interesting aspect of it was that the icing on the top was in 3 different coloured stripes (one pink, one pale yellow and one brown). An odd combination of colours you may think, and indeed, it was an odd combination of flavours too. The brown icing was definitely coffee flavoured and I imagine the pink was strawberry (though I can't remember for sure). The pale yellow icing must have been lemon I guess, since I don't remember it being anything as exotic as banana or pineapple. As the coffee flavour was my favourite, (Yes - I am one of those strange people who always ate the coffee creams out of the boxes of Milk Tray first) I always consumed the biscuit by nibbling along it's length and getting rid of the pink icing first, then the yellow, until I was left with a long thin strip that just had the coffee icing on it. Yum! Ferrero Group, which is behind brands such as Nutella and Kinder, is in the final stages of talks over a takeover of one of Britain's biggest biscuit makers. The original Club Milk (made with milk chocolate) was joined by a Club Plain (made with plain chocolate). Two flavoured versions, Club Orange and Club Mint, were made by adding flavouring to the cocoa cream. The Club Fruit variant included raisins in the cocoa cream between the two biscuits. A further Club Honeycomb variety followed.
