At the time in Canada, one side of the box would be in English and the other side printed in French. This was the same for all products like cookies or boxes of cereal. I remember the French side saying 'Biscuit' instead of cookie. The cookies were long and rectangular. Two flat 'biscuits' with chocolate in the middle between them and then covered in Cadbury chocolate. They also made these with orange cream in the middle, two, so you had a choice. If it got warm the cookies would kind of melt together in the white cardboard box. I remember the boxes being covered in a white wrapper with the familiar Cabury logo in dark violet blue with gold letters. They were always imported from England in those days and I've yet to find them since. Cadbury makes Fingers now which are long thin cookies covered in their chocolate and they taste similar but not nearly as good. I went to a World Market store in Ann Arbor, Michigan today and found the Cadbury Fingers, but also Cadbury Crunchie cookies and Cadbury Dairy Milk cookies. The Dairy Milks looked kind of like the old biscuits without the chocolate filling and these were more square shaped. Their Cadbury Crunchie candy bars are similar to a Butterfinger here in the states, I believe, so those cookies has pieces of peanut butter candy in them. Still I'm sure these new found cookies cannot compare to the original biscuits in taste. Even now when I cross the border, I still look for those original biscuits, just like other Canadian products from my childhood like Chocolate Soldier drink and Humpty Dumpty Chips and snacks.
