Mc Vities Jaffa Cakes Reviews

Mmmmmm, Jaffa Cakes! Are they a biscuit or are they a cake? Officially, (so I am reliably told by my husband), they are a cake, even though they are usually found amongst the biscuits in shops.

Is it a biscuit? Is it a cake? Does it make a difference (other than putting VAT on them or not)? I don't think so although it does make a good conversation starter in a somewhat strange set of circumstances and everything else has failed.

I am ...  Read the complete review

As you will probably realise if you read some of my other reviews, I am a self confessed chocoholic and am a fan of anything that satisfies my sweet tooth.
