Fox Burton's Companies has announced a huge change for its Maryland brand, with the launch of its brand new sandwich biscuit.
The Maryland S'wich is the first major shakeup in the brand's iconic line up of treats.
It's the UK's only chocolate chip cookie sandwich and combines several delicious flavours.
The S'wich is a regular Maryland Chocolate Chip Cookie which is filled with a decadent, creamy chocolate filling.
Landing in Tesco and Booker stores on July 16, the incredible snack will only set customers back £1.50.
Ahead of the launch, David Hebson, Trade Marketing Director at FBC said: 'The sandwich biscuit space has long been without a cookie variant — until now.
'Maryland S'wich is an exciting new proposition that combines the trusted appeal of Maryland with the indulgent format of a crunchy, crumbly and creamy sandwich cookie.
'With strong consumer metrics behind the launch, we're confident S'wich will deliver real incremental value.
'It's a product that not only meets growing shopper demand for multisensorial textures and more indulgent biscuits but also unlocks new opportunities for retailers to drive basket spend and category growth.
'We're excited to partner with the trade on what is a game-changing addition to the Sweet Biscuit aisle.'
Nostalgic candy with '50 cent taste' could be wiped from shelves for good after 120 years
The news comes after Fox launched a creative take on one of their most beloved 1980s sweets.
The company changed the design on their iconic Party Ring biscuits for the first time in 42 years.
Normally featuring a shortcake biscuit topped with colourful icing, the new variety was branded as an 'Under the Sea' version.
For the first time in the brand's history, the sweets were shaped in fish and star designs.
Fans of the treat went wild for the change, with one writing: "We need these for any future birthday parties."
Davina Valetti, marketing controller of Party Rings, said about the launch: "Under the Sea minis is an exciting milestone for the Party Rings brand.
"It's not every day you change something that's been loved for over 40 years, but we think people are going to be pleased what we've done.
"We're still bringing the party, just with a fun new twist."

Christine McGuinness 'had fun fling with leading soap actress after meeting at awards ceremony' following split from Paddy
Christine McGuinness reportedly had a 'fun fling' with a leading soap actress at an awards ceremony back in 2023, following her split from ex-husband Paddy. The woman, whose identity has not been revealed, has previously been in relationships with men. According to The Sun, she and Christine, 37, allegedly 'exchanged messages in the days after they met' after 'partying hard' together. A source told the publication: Christine was single at the time and they really enjoyed the evening of the awards bash. 'There was a strong chemistry between them and they shared some messages but it never went any further after that.' Their relation was said to have happened less than a year after her split from Paddy, 51. They announced their split in July 2022 after 11 years of marriage. MailOnline has contacted Christine's representatives for comment. The former couple share three children, including 11-year-old twins Penelope and Leo and seven-year-old Felicity. Christine was previously linked to former footballer Chelcee Grimes, 33, after they were pictured passionately kissing. Despite their fondness for each other after meeting on ITV 's The Games, Chelcee and Christine are reportedly no longer friends following an 'explosive row' over the nature of their relationship. Chelcee, who has also previously romanced former Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson, grew close to Christine following the TV star's split from husband Paddy. The pair met on ITV show The Games in 2022 and grew close the following year, which saw them kiss while on holiday in Ibiza. Christine, whose three children are all autistic, also attended Winter Wonderland with Chelcee and they were seen kissing in a picture shared to Snapchat. Chelcee and Christine have enjoyed several holidays together in recent years, having jetted off to the likes of Santorini, Croatia and Greece on girls' trips with friends. It has been reported that Chelcee and Christine fell out following a heated row over the nature of their relationship Sources close to the pair said Chelcee was there for Christine following her divorce to Paddy, which the glamour model described as one of the worst times in her life. Their close friendship reportedly ended, with the pair unfollowing each other on Instagram, and Christine recently went onto appear on the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating, which she filmed for two weeks before quitting. In June, Christine explained to Elizabeth Day on her podcast, that Paddy and family have known about her sexuality since she was little and it was 'never a secret'. She opened up about how she was dating women, including one two-year 'situationship', before she met Paddy, and admits she wants a connection for herself and not a step-parent for her children. She told the broadcaster: 'It shouldn't matter somebody's gender. It never mattered to me, which was why once me and my ex-husband were separated and I met people, I didn't properly date. 'It was more like blurred the lines of friendships for me, that was normal. It felt comfortable because I'd done that as a teenager and I, as a teenager, I dated both men and women. My ex-husband knew. My family knew. It was never a secret for me.' When asked if she has a label for her sexuality, Christine said she has thought about it but would consider herself more of a 'free spirit'. When asked about labels, Christine explained: 'No and again, I've thought about it. A lot of people always ask me, are you a lesbian? Are you bisexual? Are you what? Is this a phase? 'I've always been quite a free spirit. I think that's the only word I would put on it. When I was a teenager, I'd dated boys and girls. 14/15 was probably when I had my first kisses with, with both, and I never felt it was anything different or a big deal. 'Then I think where I grew up, everyone was kind of just there for a good time.' Christine explained that before Paddy she did date women and her longest relationship latest around two years. 'My longest was two years before I met my ex-husband and then I've had really, really lovely long situation shifts where we purposely haven't put a label on anything', she added. 'But my experiences with women have been lovely and It's not like women are better or worse. It's simply that the connection for me is different. I need a connection now. I need something different. 'I really, really, honestly, I love my family and Patrick is part of my family and he always, always will be. But now for my next relationship, I know what I want and I want someone for me. 'I want someone that I like spending time with, we can do stuff together that we both enjoy. I want that emotional connection where I can be open and I can talk and I can be vulnerable and I can ask for help, but I can also have a laugh and just have a good time. 'It's not like I'm trying to find a new family unit or someone to come in and be a stepparent. I want my next relationship to be for me.'

Drake review — lifeless, repetitive and depressingly dull
Drake being lifted by a crane while Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You blasted in the background was not on my bingo card for this year's Wireless Festival. The 38-year-old Canadian rapper-singer was billed to headline all three nights in London's Finsbury Park — the first time any artist has done so — and tickets sold out within minutes. It clearly doesn't matter to his fans that he lost the feud with Kendrick Lamar earlier this year after the latter won five Grammys for his diss track Not Like Us, or that Drake's recent album with fellow Canadian PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, received dismal reviews. Close to fifty thousand Gen Zers had their phones out, ready to record and repeat all the lyrics about sex and cash in a set that was depressingly dull until the final 20 minutes. Since he had three days to play with, Drake mistakenly decided to split each one into themes instead of playing his reliable bangers. The first night was dedicated to R&B, a genre he dabbled with in his early music. Songs included half of Marvins Room and Teenage Fever, with any romance tainted by his choice of outfit: a bullet-proof vest emblazoned with the word 'testosterone'. It all felt a bit lifeless and repetitive — even when he did do a hit: Passionfruit — until he brought out some guests, especially Mario, who injected much-needed energy with his 2004 signature song Let Me Love You. • Drake and PartyNextDoor: $ome $exy $ongs 4 U review — half-hearted dross This energy was quickly sapped again by PartyNextDoor who had opened the set (25 minutes late) and then reappeared to do some more deadening duets with Drake. The antithesis of charismatic, he spent most of his time inexplicably waving around a towel, ignoring his dancers in black underwear and boots who were strutting about. How this section counted as 'a celebration of R&B' is beyond me. Finally a reprieve arrived with Nokia — a funky tune that actually gets people dancing. Then Drake did his crane thing as fireworks exploded. But that wasn't it: Lauryn Hill showed up three minutes before curfew (as usual) and set off on some exhilarating rapping and singing, dressed in a regal gown. But, though Drake protested, the sound was cut off — even he can't fight local council noise rules. If only PartyNextDoor hadn't started late; or better yet, hadn't come at all.★★☆☆☆ Touring to Aug 4, Follow @timesculture to read the latest reviews

Garden furniture set 25% off at Morrisons… but here's why shopper said ‘glad I didn't get there sooner'
ONE shopper has said they're glad they didn't get to a Morrisons sale any sooner after the retailer slashed the price of garden furniture. The customer timed their visit to coincide with a 25 per cent price cut on a garden furniture set for members signed up to its rewards scheme. 2 The Nutmeg Outdoor Sofa Set from Morrisons is now selling for £18 less than usual. That is, if you're signed up to Morrisons More Card scheme. The More Card scheme offers money off specific items at Morrisons, using the More App which shows offers. Members can also find printed coupons at the check out to use on price savings. And right now, the scheme can be used to grab a cracking outdoor sofa set for just £72. It's just in time for summer, as you can make full use of it straight away to your vitamin D fix in. The set consists of two single chairs, and a double sofa - perfect for hosting a get together with friends or family in the garden. One happy shopper on Facebook celebrated not buying the set any earlier, so she could make full use of the deal. She said: "Glad now I didn't manage to get to Morrisons sooner. "I got an extra 25% off with More Card, so I paid £54 - bargain!" I was so excited when I nabbed a £2.49 Morrisons Too Good To Go bag – but what I found inside made me feel sick Another happy punter who appears to have got there a bit sooner, added: "We got this a couple of years ago still going strong." This comes as Morrisons has launched a huge summer clearance sale on a range of garden products. An eager shopper who spotted the offer at her local Morrisons shared the deal on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page. Other customers quickly expressed their excitement as they ran to make the most of the affordable prices. Some of the items on offer had even had their price slashed by 50 per cent. It included the Nutmeg Outdoor three-piece bistro set for £50, reduced from £100. The product comes with a table and two chairs featuring comfortable cushions, helping you get your garden summer-ready on a budget. If you're needing a more heavy-duty umbrella set up, they've also got a parasol base weight for just £35. Those looking to splash a bit more cash might be interested in Morrisons' hanging egg chair. For £95 - reduced from £140 - it's a great centrepiece for your garden. Now that your garden is well-equipped to host, it's time to stock up on barbecue supplies. For just £8 Morrisons are selling a convenient portable barbecue. Supermarket loyalty schemes - which has one?
