Advantages: gorgeous taste

Disadvantages: you may have to eat the whole packet

Jaffa cakes are one of my favourite biscuits. Once a packet is opened, they don't tend to stay around for very long! If I buy them for work you can guarantee that they will go quickly, but then so do most biscuits.

They are round shaped and have a lovely spongy layer with an orangey jelly like bit that is covered in light, plain chocolate so that you get the three different tastes all mixed up when you bite into it. Some biscuits are heavy and chocolaty and leave you feeling that you can't eat too many, not so with jaffa cakes they are deliciously light and leave you feeling up for a second, third or fourth.

The only problem with this lightness is that if you are a hopeless biscuit dunker like myself you are likely to loose half of the biscuit, giving your tea a weird choc lately taste and gunky bits at the bottom of the cup. Jaffa cakes contain 46 calories per biscuit, so you can fool yourself that they are good for your diet and that you can have another one, just don't look at the ingredients list! If you're really self delusional you can pretend that the orangey bit counts towards the recommended 5 bits of fruit and vegetables we?re all supposed to eat a day!

They are packaged in a blue rectangular box with orange writing on, you can buy them from all supermarkets. They are fairly cheap costing around 80p for a pack of 12, you can also buy them in packs of 24 and 36. It?s true what it says on the packet I?m looking at 'where do they go', now dare I open it?
