The Kingston biscuit consists of two individual rounded desiccated coconut biscuits with a chocolate cream filling. The Kingston biscuit falls under the 'Delicious Creams' family of Arnott's sweet biscuits. The Kingston is widely available in Australia, sold in most supermarkets in 200 g (7.1 oz) packages of twelve individual biscuits,[4] or as one of the five biscuits in the Arnott's Assorted Creams 500 g (18 oz) variety pack. It is commonly believed to be named after a city located near Hobart.[citation needed]
The Kingston was ranked as No. 2 on Good Food's 2019 list ranking in the Arnott's Family Assorted biscuits.[5]
