The United biscuit

When I was a kid my Mum often used to buy Uniteds, a chocolate biscuit which came in a multipack. The United was divided into three square chunks, and consisted of a chocolate-covered biscuit base topped with thick chocolate containing small pieces of "honeycomb" similar to a Crunchie bar or cinder toffee. I loved these biscuits but, like many other good things, they are no longer available.

There was also an orange-flavoured United but the ordinary ones were my favourites.

The cheesy snack by Cadbury's

In the mid 1980s I remember my Mum sometimes buying the Cheesy Criss Cross snack, which was made by Cadbury's, a firm I had always previously associated with chocolate.

The Cheesy Criss Cross consisted of two crispy, wafer-y lattice strips filled with a creamy, cheese paste. I loved them, but sadly they weren't available for very long, and vanished from the shops a relatively short time after they had been introduced.

I normally can't stand cheese-flavoured biscuits but the Cheesy Criss Cross was something else!
