Sunshine Golden Fruit Raisin Biscuits / Garibaldi Biscuit
FOR USA AUDIENCE
A bunch of years ago I was looking for one of my favorite cookies on the grocery shelves -- Sunshine Raisin Biscuits (Sunshine Golden Fruit Raisin Biscuits) and couldn't find any; even during my travels to many states. Needless to say I was disappointed.
The Sunshine Golden Fruit Raisin Biscuits was a flat, thin, dry segmented sheet of raisin filled cookie/biscuit dough. It is unlike any average cookie. And was great.
Searching the WEB later found that the Keebler Co. and the Sunshine Biscuit Co had merged in around 1998 and later, Keebler discontinued the "Golden Fruit" product line. See:

British Delights offers them at: (30 packages of 1) @ $1.56 = $46.80 less 5% for box lot = $44.46 + $10 (s/h) = $54.46 or a cost of $1.82 each
Now that's quite a saving.
If you are interested in renewing your taste or are just curious -- try them out.
Of course, I you visit the UK I believe you can pick up a package of Crawford's Garibaldi for just under $1.
I would love to have Keebler re-introduce their Golden Fruit Raisin Biscuit -- but that would probably take a massive write-in campaign.
