Advantages: good biscuit

Disadvantages: none

When I bought the orange puffins in Asda I just had to have some mint ones too. 8, 25g chocolate covered biscuits for 61 p is quite good value 29.9 p per 100g; they are on offer 4 packs of 8 biscuits for £2 so even better deal.

These biscuits come in packets containing 8 individually wrapped biscuits. As you might guess they are wrapped in a mint green package have the word asda puffin on the front and pictures of the biscuit.

I have eaten one of these biscuits they are completely covered in a fairly thin covering of chocolate; it is a good tasty milk chocolate .The biscuit is a chocolate biscuit sandwiched like a bourbon biscuit. The filling is a mint tasting cream filling. The mint flavour is nice refreshing not too strong. Now this biscuit does taste delicious. It was a good sweet biscuit snack at a very good price.

You can still buy puffin biscuits although In 1997 there was a court case by Penguin who claimed there were too many similarities between Puffin and Penguin. I believe there was a cartoon Puffin on the Puffin biscuits which has now disappeared. For details of this case see http://www.iprights.com/cms/templates/articles.asp x?articleid=60&zoneid=2.
I think it's just a case of sour grapes as Mc Vities know these cheaper biscuits are considered to be better than Penguin biscuits by some people. I think that these puffin biscuits taste as good if not better than penguin biscuits

In
These biscuits contain 530kcal per 100g so about 132 kcal per biscuit.

These biscuits are an ideal size for taking in a packed lunch to school, to work or on a picnic. They are a cheap biscuit at about 8p each.
