Mini Cheddars in "original" (left) and "BBQ" (right) flavours

Cheddars are a brand of baked Cheddar cheese-flavoured British-style savoury biscuit, having a granular crumbly texture unlike crackers which are harder, more brittle and flaky in texture. Although found in the crisp and snacks aisle of the supermarket, mini cheddars are categorically not a crisp as they are not made of sliced potato, they are a baked wheat based snack. They were originally manufactured and sold by Crawfords. Until 2014, Cheddars were marketed under the McVitie's brand, but are now marketed under the Jacob's brand. Cheddars are made with real cheese.

Mini Cheddars were the result of product diversification by McVitie's as sales of their originals began to wane.^{[citation needed]} They first launched in 1984–1985, and soon new flavours were introduced. Flavours include: Marmite, BBQ Beef, Branston Pickle, Cheese & Onion, Ham & Cheese and Mature Cheddar. They are commonly sold as a snack in pubs throughout the United Kingdom.

In 2015, a range of crispier, crinkled Mini Cheddars called Crinklys was launched, with flavours such as Cheese & Onion, Salt & Vinegar, Prawn Cocktail and Sweet Chili.

In 2017, three new cheese flavours were added to the range: Stilton, Red Leicester and Smoked Applewood. Also, they released their Mini Chedder Crispy Thins.

As of 2019, Jacob's Mini Cheddars are available in 8 flavours - Cheddar, Smoked Cheddar, BBQ, Red Leicester, Blue Stilton, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack and Branston Pickle.

As of 2020 three new limited edition flavours were added; Nacho cheese & jalepeno, lime and chilli and chipotle chilli wings.

As of 2021, three new British flavours were added; Ploughman's, Blue cheese and Chilli cheddar.
