Based on your recipe and descriptions of Zwieback toast, it sounds a lot like Jacobsen's snack toast. I have some and they're about 1/2 inch thick with cinnamon & sugar sprinkled on top. I'm guessing they might be a decent substitute for Zwieback. It comes in different flavors: Original, Cinnamon, Cinnamon Raisin, Blueberry, Raspberry and Honey Maple. I've only ever had cinnamon.
Maybe this is one of those "regional" items that is only available in certain areas of the country. (They're a Minnesota company.) You'll have to try it and let me know if it compares to Zwieback.
Must be regional, Kim - I've never seen it at our groceries here in NH/Vermont... Sounds yummy, though. PJH
