Do you remember this 80’s biscuit ?

It was in a tin, the type you get at Xmas. It was a round shortbread type biscuit with a disc of pink icing in the middle ?
Does anyone remember what the brand was ?

Iced shorties had striped icing though.

I remember the icing as being all pink, and possibly sat down into the biscuit, but that’s close.

Arnotts sell them in Australia still

SquareRootOfAllEvil · 05/05/2023 21:53

Did they have a variant that was coffee-flavoured as well? Have a very vague recollection of round single colour iced biscuits, but can’t remember anything about them.

No sorry playbox?

That’s making me think, it’s unlocked a very distant memory.

placemarking as I'm interested now. I was a child in the 80s was the icing flat and just in the centre of the biscuit?

yes like these. I'm sure I remember something like this.

roycroppersshopper · 05/05/2023 22:03

Coffee ones were Cafe Noir. Don't seem to be able to get them any more.

BreatheAndFocus · 05/05/2023 22:06

Yes! I remember them! I read your description and could almost taste them. They had a distinctive taste. Sadly, I can’t remember the name at all though, or even the brand.

Pixiedust1234 · 05/05/2023 22:09

Same here with the coffee flavour. I also feel there was a lemony one as well. No idea though, sorry

I saw Cafe noir in a local garden centre last week, first time I've seen them in ages, they were vastly over priced though!
