Since 1983<\/a>, a buffet table at a child\u2019s party hasn\u2019t been complete without a plate full of brightly coloured ring-shaped biscuits.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Party Rings burst onto the biscuit scene 42 years ago and the icing topped shortcakes have proved a hit with kids and adults alike ever since.<\/p>\n

Over the last four decades, the iconic sweet and crunchy treat<\/a> has changed ever so slightly, with Fox\u2019s Burton\u2019s Companies (FBC \u2013 the company behind the brand), launching mini and chocolate versions of the biscuits.<\/p>\n

But for the very first time in its history, Party Rings just got a brand new shape \u2013 and it\u2019s not round.<\/p>\n

The iced biscuits have been re-shaped to look like fish in new Party Rings Under The Sea Minis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sold in a multi-pack of six mini bags, the biscuits are available now in Asda<\/a> for \u00a31.50.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the launch, Davina Valetti the marketing controller of Party Rings said: \u2018Under the Sea Minis is an exciting milestone for the Party Rings brand. It\u2019s not every day you change something that\u2019s been loved for over 40 years \u2013 but we think people are going to be pleased what we\u2019ve done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re still bringing the party, just with a fun new twist.\u2019<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the only change that\u2019s been made either, as the brand also recently started making a limited-edition Strawberry flavour. These can be found in Home Bargains, Farm Foods, Poundland and Iceland for 90p per pack.<\/p>\n
