they are just not available all year round.i remember asking both supermarket chains years ago when i moved to nz. Kids love dunking them into hot chocolate.lemon&honey tea etc.great to make no bake tortes.lovely with fresh berries and custard on top.desserts etc.I make few batches a week.

We've always found them year round in New World here in New Plymouth - they are one of the treat foods I buy for my daughter when she's home and send to her when she's at uni but if Unibic aren't making them anymore I will just buy them from Vetro
I struggled to find them just before Xmas, found just about the last packet in local New World.they were not unibic.and I have forgotten the make.not much help .sorry

I'd never heard of Vetro (and I've been a caaterer) but then, they are a distance from us, I live in Opotiki, beautiful beaches, but few services. Next time we're in Rotorua which is our nearest outlet, I'll go and look. The illustrations make the warehouse/shop look amazing Thanks for the tip

We have one here in NP but I didn't realise there were others around the country so I have learnt something too!

For those of you still looking Countdown has them but they are now the Vittoria brand - I found them with the Select boxed cookies.Vetro didn't have any here in NP but at least now I have some to put in my daughter's "back to uni care pack"

Our supermarket doesn't have a Dutch section and they were MIA from the international aisle at Countdown and New World for a while, and also none in Vetro
