Advantages: Low calories, high source of fibre

Disadvantages: High fat and sugar levels, expensive, moreish!!!!!!

This product is simply delicious!!! A combination of a thin layer of yummy milk chocolate, chewy moist flapjack, and the unmistakable oaty taste that comes only from McVities Hobnobs. Packaged and presented on our shelves in an unmissable bright blue wrapper with the immediately noticeable McVities logo on the front of the packaging, these melt in the mouth snacks are available in packs of five (with each flapjack individually wrapped), or singly. When sold singly these are very expensive - approximately 75p each. However if you purchase the pack of 5, they are available for £1.35 for the packet, and are currently on buy one get one free offer at a large supermarket chain.

At 160 calories per bar, these are not that unhealthy, but are more of a treat than an everyday snack. They are suitable for lunchboxes, or an afternoon snack. They are a great source of fibre with 1.4g per bar. They contain no hydrogenated vegetable oil, artificial colours or flavours. However, they contain high levels of fat (7.5g per bar) and sugar (11.1g per bar)
