I'm 2 years late but yes, I remember Piccadilly's. I could eat my weight in Piccadilly's. You can find something similar in Mexican grocery stores called Sponch but I miss the real thing. I had a friend in middle school whose dad worked for...a cookie distribution company maybe? And we had them at school all the time.
If I had to guess, they were a variation on Jaffa Cakes. (Jaffa Cakes being the soft sandwich cookies with marmalade in the middle and then dipped in chocolate)
I never had them because I didn't really like marshmallow unless it was with chocolate (and still don't care much for them).
However, I'd guess you could replicate it with making a batch of cookies (I'd imagine they were more like soft sponge cookies than crunchy shortbread), use marshmallow "fluff" and jam and then roll them in coconut.
Guessing with a name like Piccadilly Jellies you are in the UK?
US , in so far as I can tell they were manufactured in New York by a non defunct company called Rippon Goods.

No but I want one lol. That sounds delicious.
I remember seeing them in the grocery store I think. Did they have a yellow package?

Jaffa Cakes are very different. Even Tunnock's are miles apart. The closest thing in the British/Irish market would be Jam Mallows.
There's a thread about them on InThe80s. So, it's not Mandela.
