I used to have these when I was a kid in the 1980s - as a treat or at a party. I remembered them the other day and have been wracking my brains to think what they were called. Don't know if they still make them or not!

They consisted of a biscuit base - roughly the size and consistency of a Malted Milk. On the top there were six round blobs (in two rows of three) of a sticky marshmallow-type substance. This was then sprinkled with coconut. As far as I remember, they came in two colours/flavours: a pink strawberry one and a yellow possibly lemony one.

Anyone know what they were called and if they still make them?

That would be them! It appears the blobs were 2x5 and not 2x3 as I thought!

I don't remember them being called Mikados though?! Although that is definitely them!

In Australia they're known as an Iced Vovo. If that's any help.

Yeah Jam Mallows ring more of a bell.

Anyone know if they still make/sell them in this country?
