Anyone Know the Name of This Flat, Raisin Snack?

Many years ago I loved to eat a flat, raisin, baked snack that was about a foot long, about 3 inches wide, and maybe a 1/4 inch thick. The snack wasn't actually a "cookie", more like a chewy raisin cracker that had been pressed very flat and baked. I think the raisin version was the main product, but I did see some one time that used cranberries. The snack was chewy, not at all hard or crisp. The foot-long product that came from the package was scored so that you could break off about four 3-inch servings. Anyone remember that baked raisin treat? Know where I might find any of them still being made? It was fairly available in stores about 10 years ago, but I have not seen any recently.

I grew up just north of Boston & do remember these. They were a little on the dry side but went very well with a cold glass of milk. For some reason, I think I remember that they were made by Sunshine.

My wife reminds me that they were called "Golden Fruit". The raisin biscuits from the Vermont store look awful similar. I will try them. Thanks, you guys!

I remember them but haven't seen them since my family moved out of New England in the mid-1960s. Were they a New England specialty?

Sunshine bakers used to make these, 'raisin bars' we called 'em here in New York. Outstanding with milk! The version Vermont Country sells are pretty close.
