I've had the LU brand Petit Ecolier butter biscuits you can get at the grocery store. They are not the same. Leibniz are much lighter, more cracker-y compared to the dense butter cakes from LU. And the Leibniz is oh-so addictive. I'd basically given up on finding it in the US, but we just stumbled upon them this weekend in a small market in Harvard Square.

Yum! Snacks! Are there other snacks from Germany that you miss?
I wish that I could get more of those pretzels like they have in Philly that the Amish/Mennonites make.
Well, I miss the Coke and Fanta you can get in Germany. [Long digression: I don't drink American (sweetened with High Fructose Corn Syrup) Coke anymore, but I do occasionally have imported from Mexico and made with sugar Coke. It's still not quite as good as I remember the Coke in Germany tasting. North American Fanta is nothing like Fanta in Germany, which is juice-y, refreshing, and delicious.] Other than that, I miss lots of German food (local in-season strawberries, bread(!), apfelschoerle) but nothing branded.
I liked your blog.It is interesting to read all the different articles. This one about the cookies, what a find! You must take time to visit my blog: http://hintsforyou.blogspot.com/
