Advantages: Individually wrapped ideal for lunchboxes

Disadvantages: very sweet in taste

I remember the first time my mum gave me a Wagon Wheel many years ago, I thought I was so special for to be given this huge biscuit. Sadly when I take a Wagon Wheel in my hands now it doesn’t seem as big but probably that’s because my hands have gotten bigger lol.

You can recognise these on the shelves by their long red packaging with a picture of a wild west cowboy in his wagon. Now the packet I am reviewing is a special offer packet which has 50% extra free so this review could differ from other members description.

The 50% deal takes over the paket basically with its red lettering written on bright yellow background, but the picture of the cowboy is still the same on all packs. There are 12 biscuits in this pack rather than 6.

Each Wagon Wheel is individually wrapped and has the same picture of the cowboy as that of the front of the pack. It gives a bit more info on the individual items in that it tells us that it is even better taste with more chocolate.

Each biscuit also has a best before date on them as with all the ingredients and nutrition information.

Now the description on each biscuit also says “Delicious mallow biscuit with a real chocolate coating” now lets put that to the test and taste it shall we.

The pack is easily opened by tearing the top, as I tear it open I can smell a slight chocolatey odour and am faced with a round chocolate coated biscuit. Each biscuit is 3 inches diameter.

As I bite into the chocolate I come bite through a layer of biscuit before biting into the soft mallow and back into some biscuit. It tastes rather sweet but the chocolate taste takes over and the biscuit and mallow are hard to distinguish.There is a bit of chewing in them though.

Now I am not going to bore you with listing ingredients and nutrition information but I will tell you the important stuff asin there are 164 calories in each biscuit and as they contain gelatine they are not suitable for vegetarians.

Now I cant tell you the price of this packet as they were brought into our house by my mother in law but I have seen 6 packs on sale for around 99p in Tesco. You can also buy them with a jam filling too but I haven’t tasted them.

To be quite honest I rarely eat these as I buy them mainly for my son as they come in handy for lunch box ect but I would say that I have tasted far better biscuits in my time and that I don’t know what the fuss was about when I was a child lol.

Thanks for reading

Lainey

Summary: Wagon Wheels are great for kids lunchboxes
