Advantages: They melt in the mouth
Disadvantages: Very high in calories.
Strolling through my local Co-Op today I decided to buy a packet of biscuits to have a naughty munch on, I do that occasionally to cheer myself up.
I couldn't decide on whether to have digestives or something with a bit of chocolate in when my eyes were drawn to the beige and purple packets of Fox's Melts, I haven't had a packet of these for ages and to my delight they were on offer buy one get one free.
Decision made on the strength of that offer I toddled off home to put the kettle on, I always have to have a cuppa when I indulge in a biscuit purely because I am a 'dunker.'
On opening the packet I gently pulled the plastic tray out and immediately got a waft of buttery shortbread, then the Viennese chocolate aroma hit my nostrils, this was going to be heaven....
The tray is divided into five sections with two biscuits to each section I presume that this is to avoid them breaking.
The biscuits themselves are two pieces of short bread held together with the chocolate, they are not very big though, I have actually had the ruler out and they are 7cm in length, 2.5cm wide and 1cm in height. They are not going to last very long in my house that's for sure.
Each biscuit contains 79 calories, 4.5g of sugar, 4.6g of fat and 2.6g of saturate fat, so not a good choice for those people that have to watch their weight.
These biscuits taste gorgeous they are very buttery with a slight salty tang, the added chocolate filling compliments the shortbread to perfection.
I wouldn't buy these too often because I could eat three or four at a time and my waist line really does not need to get any wider but they are great for a special treat.
Summary: They passed the dunking test with flying colours.
