Advantages: Very tasty,

Disadvantages: Too tasty

Jaffa cakes were introduced in 1927, they are about 2.5 inches in diametre. This popular biscuit/cake has 3 delicious layers, a spongy base, a gooey layer of orange jelly and a layer of dark chocolate.

These little Jaffa Cakes sparked a court case over whether they should be classed as cakes or biscuits for VAT purposes, as if it were a biscuit they would need to charge VAT. Luckily they ruled them as mini cakes, so all was well again.

So how do they taste? Well they are delicious I love the orange inside bit, and I could quite happily eat through an entire box very quickly. Which also happens to be its bad point. I want to buy biscuits that I can enjoy in moderation and that will last the week, these are not they. I cannot leave them once open, so I don't buy them. Great for a treat though.

Summary: If you love orange and chocolate then this is for you

I didn't know that about the VAT! I could easily get through a whole pack too! x
