History:

The origin of this drink is unknown but it is named after and inspired by the classic British biscuit produced by Burton's Foods. Jammie Dodgers were launched in 1960 and consist of two circular discs of shortbread biscuit with raspberry-flavoured plum jam sandwiched between with a heart-shaped hole in the upper biscuit to reveal the jam. In recent years the original heart-shaped embossing on the shortbread has been replaced by splashes.

1.30 am on a Saturday night/Sunday morning in lockdown, made one of these for me and the girls. They loved them but far too sweet for me!! They do taste a bit like the biscuits!
