History

Three versions of Cadbury Snack are available in the United Kingdom and Ireland: Snack Shortcake (chocolate-coated shortbread in a yellow wrapper),[1] Snack Wafer (chocolate-covered wafer fingers in a pink wrapper)[2] and Snack Sandwich, an individual chocolate-and-biscuit bar[3] similar to the original Jacob's Club biscuit. In February 2015, Cadbury announced that it was ceasing production of the Snack Sandwich due to declining sales.[4]

In later 2017 or 2018 plans to bring back the Snack Wafer (chocolate-covered wafer fingers in a pink wrapper) will be put into production in the United States Of America when plans are made.

During the 1970s there was a Cadbury Snack Finger (chocolate-covered fingers in a blue wrapper) see Cadbury Fingers & in the 2000s there were limited editions of other versions of Snack.
