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."

FOUR ways Universal Credit households can boost spare cash for summer holidays
We reveal ways households claiming Universal Credit can boos their cash this summer CASH BOOST FOUR ways Universal Credit households can boost spare cash for summer holidays Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOUSEHOLDS on Universal Credit should be aware of these four easy ways to boost spare cash for the summer holidays. There are a number of government support schemes that can help parents ease costs over the break. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 We share support available for families over the summer holiday Credit: Getty That includes school uniform grants worth £300 and a child care hack that can help grandparents save over £6,600. Take a look below to see if you're missing out. School uniform grants Parents claiming Universal Credit and other benefits can get support with school uniform costs. The amount you get depends on what year your child is in. For example, in Tower Hamlets families can get up to £150 per child. Parents with reception year children can get £50 per child, but this increases to £150 per child when they reach Year 7. So, if you had two children in Year 7 or above you would receive £300 to support them with school uniform costs. The support comes through the government's Household Support Fund (HSF), which helps hard-up families with living costs. You will need to get in touch with your council to apply. You can find your local council by visiting visit Families can get FREE washing machines, fridges and kids' beds or £200 payments this summer – and you can apply now Support for grandparents Grandparents can be financially compensated for the time spent looking after their grandchildren this summer. The cash boost comes through specified adult childcare credits, which are a type of National Insurance (NI) credit that can help you qualify for the full state pension. You need 35 years' worth of NI contributions to get the full amount worth £230.25 a week. This means parents and other relatives looking after a child under 12 can give their pension a boost. Every year of transferred credit will boost your state pension by £330 a year. This could add nearly £6,600 to the value of your state pension over the course of a 20-year retirement. You can also backdate your claim to 2011, when the credits were first introduced. Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme is a government fund which provides free food, childcare and activities to children from low income families. Your local council is responsible for administering the scheme. This means what exactly is on offer depends on where you live. Most offer help to families with children in receipt of benefits-related free school meals, but local councils are also allowed to offer help to children outside of this group. Household support fund If you are claiming Universal Credit you could get help through the Household Support Fund. Every council in England has cash they can hand out to struggling families. The £742million Household Support Fund has been shared between all councils in England. For example, North Somerset Council has also announced it will provide food vouchers worth up to £100 to those in need. And, families living in Worcestershire can apply for cost of living cash worth £500. What type of help you can get will vary but it could range from a free cash payment to supermarket vouchers. It may be worth calling your local council for more details if you cannot see the support advertised.

Visitors now pay £2.70 - marking a total increase of 20p. Speaking previously, a Wimbledon spokesperson said: "We have taken the decision to slightly increase the price of strawberries this year from £2.50 to £2.70. "We feel that this modest increase still ensures that our world-famous strawberries are available at a very reasonable price." Strawberries and cream have been a Wimbledon staple since the tennis tournament's inception in 1877. Approximately 140,000 punnets of them are sold each year, meaning the new price brings in an extra £28,000 for the club. Despite the increase, Wimbledon has reiterated its commitment to being accessible to all by continuing the tradition of allowing fans to bring in their own food and drink, including alcohol. Full food and drinks price list revealed Aside from strawberries and cream, Wimbledon's full price list includes other changes. The cost of a pint of draught beer has increased by 35p from last summer. For example, a pint of Stella Artois priced up at £8.85 ($12) and a Guinness costing £8.45. Queen thanks Novak Djokovic for letting her stay in his 'lovely' property in 'private' chat at Wimbledon Bottles of beer have also increased by 30p this time around. It's cheaper than the darts though - with Premier League fans complaining the cheapest pint was £9.25 at the final. Fans can also opt for a classic glass of Pimm's - although it will set them back a whopping £12.25 ($17), 30p more than last summer. Elsewhere, a bag of Skittles sets spectators back £5 ($7) and it's the same price for some Haribo - each 40p more than. Perhaps the more cost-efficient sweet treat is a packet of Minstrels, which at £4.40 are actually 20p cheaper than last year. Still to come This year's Women's Final will see USA's Amanda Anisimova face Poland's Iga Świątek. In one Men's Semi Finals, Italy's Jannik Sinner will play against the legendary Novak Djokovic. Meanwhile, Spain's Carlos Alcaraz is set to face USA's Taylor Fritz in the other Semi Final.

Picturesque English town is getting new £27m train line for first time in 60 years – & will cut journey times by an hour
The new train line will reach Bristol in just 25 minutes ON TRACK Picturesque English town is getting new £27m train line for first time in 60 years – & will cut journey times by an hour Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PICTURE-POSTCARD town in the English countryside is set to get a train line for the first time in 60 years. The quaint town, in the west of England, is currently one of the largest towns in the UK without a railway station. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 This picturesque town is set to get a brand new railway Credit: Getty 2 The coastal town hasn't had a railway for 60 years Credit: Getty However, this will not be the case for much longer, as Portishead has been given a whopping £27.6 million sum to build a new one, which will take passengers to Bristol in just 25 minutes. The Bristol to Portishead line closed way back in 1964, meaning residents have been unable to travel to the city by train for over 60 years. When the new train line opens, in three years' time, an hourly service will run to Bristol, transporting commuters from the coastal town to the bustling city. Work to start in spring 2026 Work is due to start on the train line in spring 2026, and will hopefully be completed in 2028. The neighbouring town of Pill is also set to get a new train line to Bristol. The line has already been restored for freight trains but will be made more suitable for passenger trains. Helen Godwin, the West of England mayor, said: "The West of England and North Somerset, with government backing and industry partners, will connect more people to opportunity, leisure and nature. "We're investing in jobs and economic growth. Local people will see and feel the difference from commutes being cut in half through train travel, and building this key transport infrastructure will unlock sites for much-needed new homes. "Pill and Portishead are two of the five new railway stations being built in the West over the next few years. "But our ambition goes further. Delivering projects like the Bristol & Portishead Line now lays the foundations for a better transport system overall for the West of England, building the suburban railway network that other places take for granted." Incredible plans to tunnel underneath UK city centre for massive train network are unveiled More UK train news This comes as bold new plans to tunnel beneath a major UK city for a massive underground train and tram network have been officially unveiled. The dramatic move aims to transform how people travel in and out of the busy urban centre and tackle future congestion. The ambitious project, based in Manchester and led by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, would see trains and trams running below ground for the first time in the city's history, aiming to ease congestion and support future economic growth Plus, a direct train service between a central Scottish city and London is due to launch as early as spring 2026. Lumo, which is part of FirstGroup, will run four return services a day to Stirling in Scotland, with the exception of Sundays, where there will be three. The route will provide first-ever direct services to London for Whifflet, Greenfaulds, and Larbert. Currently, the Lumo brand runs on the East Coast Main Line between London King's Cross and Edinburgh. The new West Coast services were due to start this year, however FirstGroup said they are "currently expected to commence mid-2026 following the delivery of the trains and staff training". Lumo's new route will link London Euston directly to Stirling, also calling at Milton Keynes, Nuneaton, Crewe, Preston, Carlisle, Lockerbie, Motherwell, Whifflet (serving Coatbridge), Greenfaulds (serving Cumbernauld) and Larbert.
