Twiglets

Twiglets are a wheat-based snack[1] marketed in the United Kingdom that have a "distinctive knobbly shape" similar to that of twigs and a speckled-brown-over-pale-colour appearance.

Twiglets were invented in 1929[3] by a French biscuit maker J. Rondalin,[4] a technical manager at Peek Freans' Bermondsey factory, who added brewer's yeast to a leftover batch of Vitawheat dough.

During the Christmas season, Twiglets were traditionally sold in drum-shaped tin boxes as a high-class cocktail accompaniment from the 1930s[4] until the 1970s.

[7] In modern times, the tin boxes have been substituted with large cardboard tubes decorated with seasonal themes.

[8] Jacobs also released a curry flavoured edition from 1999 to 2001, in collaboration with several Indian restaurant chains in Northern England.
