Advantages: none really

Disadvantages: I am not keen on these

Jaffa cake mini roll.

At work when it's someone's birthday they usually bring in cake and goodies for the rest of the staff. Recently someone bought in some Jaffa cake mini rolls.
These mini rolls come in a packet of 6.
The individual Jaffa cake mini roll comes in a blue plastic foil wrapping to keep it fresh. The writing on the wrapper is in orange.

I opened the wrapper 6 cakes and disclosed a mini Swiss roll all covered in chocolate. I bit into the dark chocolate; it was a good tasting chocolate. It was a very thin layer that cracked when I bit it. I lost a few crumbs of chocolate onto my lap. Inside the chocolate coating was the cake a very pale yellow cake. The cake was a light sponge tasted ok. This sponge cake was a Swiss roll type and the centre filling was that jaffa cake orange gel like stuff. This tastes orangey and sweet. This cake did not last long enough for 3 or 4 bites. A bit unsubstantial .They are not really filling

These mini rolls are fine if you are a Jaffa cake lover. They would be good as a treat in the lunch pack, or at a children's party.

Mc vities have really just found another way to package their jaffa cake really. The cake part softer, not as crispy as in a jaffa cake, this ones defiantly a cake not a biscuit.

Nutritionally well 119kcal per cake /383 per 100 g 3.6 g fat per cake 16 g of sugar per cake. (I really should not have eaten this cake too fattening for me.)

I noted these on sale at Tesco a packet for £1.25, 21 each roll, on offer at the moment 2 packs for £2.00

To be honest I am not a eat lover of jaffa cakes so I will not go out of my way to buy or eat these again.
