Now I want one. Where does one buy such delicacies these days? I don't remember seeing them in the supermarkets.

They changed them a few years back. How I know this?

They no longer work as the perfect toasted sandwhich filling, used to be perfect now they go all funny and disgusting when put between two slices of white bread and put in a breville.

I haven't checked a wrapper but it may be a chocolate flavoured coating.
