Any good knockoffs of the Jelly Star Biscuit that used to be in afternoon tea ?

For some reason this Christmas Im really missing the Jelly Star this bad boy here. When I was a kid there were definitely green ones too. Does anyone do a decent clone of Irelands favourite childhood biscuit.

I remember the green ones too. The jelly star biscuit was what made Afternoon Tea special to a lot of people. I've never seen one elsewhere

Hassetts bakery in Cork do their own version of the jelly star...don’t think they can be bought outside Cork though.

https://www.ardkeen.com/shop/larder/hassetts-chocolate-jellystar-shortbread-150g this crowd sell packs of jelly stars. Out of stock at minute, but worth a look to see if them come back in and they deliver.
