When I was little, my father used to make a refrigerator cake out of the chocolate snaps and whipped cream. Not very often, a rare treat. He'd put down a layer of the cookies on a plate and cover them with the whipped cream. Then he'd keep making layers like that until it was shaped like a dome. Then he would cover the outside with the cream, and put it in the refrigerator overnight.
Oh my gosh...Sunshine Golden Fruit Biscuits and Nabisco Brown Edge Wafers! I loved both those yet totally forgot about them! The brown wafers were simple but bursting with carmelized flavor cruchy and thin! The fruit biscuits were so delicious and I can taste the raisin forward fillling as I type this! I agree these old time cookies tasted more wholesome and homemade. Packaged cookies today taste like nothing but artificial junk. Your voice is so soothing by the way. Loved the video.
I REMEMBER SNAPS. They had little boxes of them at my local general store when I was a kid, and they were amazing. My mother used to buy Uneda, too. I definitely remember the box with the little boy in the raincoat.
Your’re so right about the taste now. My mom packed cookies at Nabisco. When she came home she had a few cookies for us from whatever line she worked on that day. Fig Newtons, Choc Chip, Pinwheels, Shortbread. Those freshly baked cookies were so incredible, nothing they put out now compares.
Hydrox were far superior to Oreo. Coconut bar cookies, Chocolate covered graham crackers and Windmill cookies were the staples of our cookie jar back in the day. Only one of these options per week. When they were gone, we had to wait til the next shopping trip. No wonder we weren't fat then.
Great video……..I miss the Social Tea cookies from Nabisco too. The box was an aqua & white color scheme. The cookies were small rectangular biscuits with a hint of raw sugar on top……. Great with a cup of coffee
My parents only bought the Hydrox cookies, we did have a Sunshine Bakery in my town and neither of my parents put sugar in their coffee so maybe they didn’t like overly sweet cookies. My parents liked Fig Newtons too but I didn’t like them either. My mother preferred white grapefruit and she peeled them and ate them like an orange. I start eating red grapefruit with a little sugar. I put cream and sugar in my coffee too.
The Chocolate Snaps were a bear, the chocolate chip ones was a cat. You can get Garibaldi biscuits, shown in one of the pictures, from Vermont Country Store.
Help. I can't remember the brand name of my favorite cookie from the fifties. They were crunchy and chewy at the same time and had a thin glaze of white frosting. I think they were called fruit and nut cookie. They came in a rectangular box but can't remember the brand. Does anyone know

Thank you for the memories.... I had completely forgotten about so many of these products I enjoyed as a child...and now I do miss them!
My favorites were the raisin cookies and the archway cookies. I wish they would bring back the raisin cookies especially.

Those Golden Fruit biscuits were right up there with Fig Newtons in our house. They were always worried about us being regular 😊
Ginger Snaps were big in my house ❤

Thanks for the delicious Memories from Oklahoma.🇺🇲🍪🥛🇺🇲
I remember eating Hydrox and chocolate Snaps. The Fig Newtons are nothing like they use to be. I remember all the cookies you talked about.
Your’re so right about the taste now.

That’s a shame about the Newtons 😢
I remember Hydrox cookies. I sort of liked them. The Nabisco Brown Edge cookies look like ones sold today by Girl Scouts.

"You-Needa Bisquit" was my favorite. My Swedish Gramma would put Cream cheese on them with Raspberry soda for a snack. I felt like a king!
Yep-you-need-a-biscuit. Ah the memories!
My twin brother and I, when we were 5 or 6, ate a whole package of Fig Newtons. I am now 75, and have never touched another one!
Never heard of chocolate snaps, but I remember all the rest, and the Brown Edge Wafers were known as Nilla Wafers in my neck of the woods.

They’re still around. I’m in PA & my grocery has them.
Hydrox cookies were my all-time favorite cookie.
My favorite Archway cookie was Mud Pie, a soft chocolate cookie with a fudge puddle in the middle of the top.
My parents only bought the Hydrox cookies, we did have a Sunshine Bakery in my town and neither of my parents put sugar in their coffee so maybe they didn’t like overly sweet cookies.

A sprinkle of salt makes grapefruit sweeter.
Uneeda is pronounced "You-need-a" Biscuit, as in "You [really] need [this particular]" biscuit.
We had these as babies. Good to teeth on
You can still get them, I think you have to search.
Try looking at Cracker Barrel...
The Chocolate Snaps were a bear, the chocolate chip ones was a cat. You can get Garibaldi biscuits, shown in one of the pictures, from Vermont Country Store.
Not the same. Too dry and not enough filling.
Hydrox and Fig Newtons.
I miss Flaky Flix, by Burry's Baking Company.
Burry’s were the best chocolate chips & gauchos ❤
Fig Newton was mine and still is.
Hydroxy cookies are available at your local Cracker Barrel..for a price.
"Fig Newtons and scotch... they're great if you dunk 'em!"
Where is Marshall.....the other narrator? 🤨
Salerno chocolate cookies❤️
I recently bought a box of Hydrox at Cracker Barrel. They were NOTHING like the originals. I was very disappointed.

Hydrox were soo much better than Oreos. Sugar wafers are good too.
The Hydrox cookies were far superior to Oreos
Mama’s cookies
Pretty sure Uneeda Biscuits were pronounced "You-need-a".
You talk like Forrest Gump, it's cute with cookies.
THOSE ARE COOKIES NOT BISCUITS. HOW LONG DID YOU LIVE IN ENGLAND
Hydrox we’re HORRIBLE PERIOD!!! Awful aftertaste-what WAS that??? Gah!!! GAG!!!
Hydoox cookies are better than Oreo’s. Hydrox was made Sunshine Corporation they also made another top shelf …….. I miss them.
