Mini Cheddars are a iconic savory baked snack consisting of small, cheddar cheese-flavored biscuits. Originally inspired by the classic Jacob's Cream Cracker but miniaturized and infused with real cheese, they transitioned from a staple biscuit into a mainstream snack choice. The product is widely recognized for its golden color and distinct wheel-like shape, often marketed as a baked alternative to traditional fried potato crisps.

The brand has a deep British heritage, having been launched under the Jacob’s name, which dates back to a bakery founded in Ireland in the mid-19th century before expanding across the UK. Over the decades, ownership has shifted through several major food conglomerates. Today, the brand is managed under the pladis group, which integrated legacy biscuit brands from the UK and Turkey to form a global snacks powerhouse. It remains one of the best-selling snack brands in the United Kingdom, produced largely at the historic Aintree factory in Liverpool.
