Arnott's has discontinued several biscuits over the years due to declining sales and changing consumer tastes. Some of the most notable deleted biscuits include:
Arnott's has discontinued many popular biscuits over the years, with some of the most missed including Lattice biscuits, Honey Jumbles, Honey Snaps, Quatro, Bush Biscuits, Jaffa Cakes, Adora Cream Wafers, and the Classic Assorted pack. Other notable retirees are the Chocolate Dessert biscuits, Caramel Crowns, Chocolate Monte, and Chocolate Royals, often due to low sales or limited shelf space.
One of my most favourite plain biscuits were Arnotts Honey Snaps. They were ultra thin, ultra crisp, and ultra tasty. Do you remember them? They stopped production in 1998.
Thank you for your email. Due to ongoing low sales and limited shelf space in supermarkets, the difficult decision was made to stop production of Arnotts Lattice biscuits. We understand this is disappointing as it may have been a favourite in your household and it has been on shelves for many years.
Unfortunately the Dark chocolate Royals are no longer under production. However the Milk Chocolate Royals are still available.
Popular discontinued Australian biscuits include Arnott's Lattice, Honey Jumbles, and Honey Snaps, along with nostalgic treats like Quatro and Incredibites, often mourned by Aussies for their unique flavours, textures, and childhood memories, with Lattice and Honey Snaps being particularly missed for their flaky crunch and spiced honey taste.
This list is unavoidably subjective.
Tim Tams are arguably the world's best chocolate biscuit and undeniably Australia's favourite 😋🍫 #timtams #arnotts #chocolate.
The Aberffraw biscuit (sometimes Aberffraw cake or Teisen Berffro) is said to originate from 13th century Anglesey. ”Legend has it that a Welsh king was holding court in Aberffraw – his wife was walking on the beach there and, spotting a pretty scallop shell, asked for a cake to be baked in the same form.
The Kingston biscuit falls under the 'Delicious Creams' family of Arnott's sweet biscuits. The Kingston is widely available in Australia, sold in most supermarkets in 200 g (7.1 oz) packages of twelve individual biscuits, or as one of the five biscuits in the Arnott's Assorted Creams 500 g (18 oz) variety pack.
Parle-G has been recognized by Nielsen as the world's largest selling biscuit brand by volume, with billions of packets sold annually. Its dominance is especially strong in India, where it commands a significant share of the biscuit market.
Iconic Aussie snacks gone from shelves include Fantales, Sunnyboys, Space Food Sticks, Lifesavers Hard Candy, Time Out Bars, Dunkaroos, Incredibites, Vegemite Snackabouts, Burgerman Chips, and Killer Pythons, with many Australians mourning the loss of these nostalgic treats like Fantales and Sunnyboys most deeply.
Tip: If you're missing Lattice biscuits (like us), then turn to SAO biscuits or Julie's Sugar Crackers. They're a great alternative! I've always used Sao biscuits. For Custard slice too.

A British biscuit is not remotely similar to the fluffy and filling American biscuits made famous in Southern American cuisine. The closest British equivalent to those buttery miracles is a scone, which ain't too bad either.
