Asda orange puffin,

I went into an Asda shop near my daughters and bought some chocolate biscuits they were Asda orange Puffin biscuit.

Puffin biscuits are available in a mint or a chocolate filling variety too.
Orange puffin biscuits are in a pack of eight individually wrapped biscuits. The Orange Puffin is enclosed in an orange wrapper; it is a plain orange with the word Asda orange Puffin on it. Each biscuit weighs 25 grams. These biscuits are about the same size as Penguin biscuits.

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.

The Orange Puffin biscuit costs 61p for a pack of 8. They are on offer buy 4 packs for £2 this offer runs till 31/12/2008.

Ok, so I open my Orange Puffin biscuit packet and I find a chocolate covered biscuit bar I break it open and the biscuit is a chocolate sandwich biscuit with an orange cream center layer.

The chocolate coating is thin; it tasted like a good chocolate. I can also taste that the biscuit is chocolate flavored too. The biscuit is like a bourbon biscuit. The orange cream filling tastes quite sweet and orangey it is a pleasant orange flavour not too strong but definatly there. I like these Asda Orange puffin biscuits. I shall not enter into the debate as to whether they are better than PPPenguin biscuits, but I think they are a good cheaper alternative.

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. They will not count in your 5 portions of fruit in your diet though

Summary: A chocolate covered biscuit with orange cream filling .
