Abbey Crunch

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

I absolutely adored Abbey Crunch biscuits. For years these were my one and only biscuit, then all of a sudden they just disappeared. I would easily eat a whole packet, whilst dunking them in a big mug of tea... heaven!

    Do I remember them?? They were THE BEST BISCUITS ever made.. I could easily have eaten a full packet to myself, with a nice hot cuppa. I really do MISS THESE DELICIOUS BISCUITS. I really WISH they were back on the market. Come on McVities, you know it makes sense to put them back on the Market, for people like me and many others to Enjoy.

    Sad day indeedy, when Abbey Crunch went n' disappeared :'( I've tried all kinds of "similar" biscuits over the past (many) years, and none have come close ...... until now ;-) While on holiday, I'd nipped into a discount store and spotted some Hill Oaties. Unless I'm mistaken .... they tasted just about, almost exactly, if not precisely like Abbey Crunch. Maybe a percentage or two off .... but pretty, pretty close as makes no difference. Finally found them again in a Yum-Yum shop today, at 3 packs for a quid. Baaagain. Various discount stores sell Hill (not Hills) biscuits, so it's a bit hit n' miss whether they have the Oaties in, but worth the hunt in my opinion.

    I used to love these biscuits as a kid and even my pet budgie liked them. C'mon McVities, bring them back.

    I used to love those biscuits. Nectar of the gods with a cup of tea. I wonder why these companies discontinue such legendary biscuits but still make the rubbish ones, like 'Nice' biscuits (rubbish choice of name! ) Bring back Abbey Crunch.

    Abbey crunch were AMAZING! My fave biccy along with Gypsey Creams. I last saw them in 2005 in a Spar shop in Scotland. They were a week off their sell by date - and I bought the lot. McVities made them - they were like a smaller and soother version of Hob-Nobs. Oaty and syrupy. Oh I want one....
