    Hi.

    I remember years ago eating these biscuits. I can only describe them as 'Custard Creams' but with a coconut flavor. They were delicious. Can anyone remember the name of them?

    Thanks.

    So not the marshmallow Coconut Creams that Jacobs do? And I have to say are the worst out of the Kimberly, Mickado and CC threesome. A coconut version of the custard cream on the other hand does sound savage.

    Hi SleepAtNight. No, certainly not one of those. I hate marshmallow biscuits. The biscuit was similar in appearance to the custard creams but was white with the coconut flavor middle. I used to be hooked on the things. I could have sworn they were called 'Coconut Creams' but I must be wrong.

    I remember them, dunnes used to have them in their St. Bernard range, kind of nobbly textured sandwiched bickkie with coconut cream inside. Haven't noticed them lately.

    Looks like you're not the only one missing them!

    Ah that rings a bell. Yes, I'm fairly sure they were St. Bernard's Coconut Creams.

    Aye I recall the Blue packet...
    googling has found these http://www.hillbiscuits.com/coconut-cream-biscuits.html
    and I could swear I've seen the Hills brand somewhere...

    If you happen to be up north you may find them in the likes of Asda/Sainsburys in an own name brand. (I know not very helpful right now). Must keep an eye out for Hills for you though

    Random, but popped into a €2 shop and they had these (see attachment sorry pics too big to embed)
    ok they're not a single pack of coconut creams, they're a 6 x 6pack of six different types of 'creams' but one of them is coconut, so if you had a hankering, €2 isn't too bad, and I think they're 2 for €3 too.
