Google was my friend and confirmed what I thought I remembered....
Sultana biscuits. Garibaldi biscuits are a sibling to them but made with
currants instead of raisins. It seems there is now a Chinese made
product but I have never seen them. However, I have not bought cookies
in ages, so I never look at the cookie selection and have no idea what
is available these days.

I haven't seen Garibaldi's for years although I expect they are still out
there. Not something we buy.
