Advantages: A cookie that has it all

Disadvantages: None

Mc Vities Boasters are very aptly named, there is nothing modest about the cookies what so ever. Like many of us I am a biscuit addict and I love nothing more than to share my biscuit experiences with other like minded people.
I regularly buy the common or garden cookies, the value packs or the supermarket own brands. All of them dunk well but I have to say that some do have a tendancy to be `sawdusty`. But beggars can`t be choosers!

For a change lets do a comparison, if the cookies were fish ( yes you have read correctly!) the supermarket own brands would be sardines, whereas McVities Boasters could only possibly be a salmon fillet!
Mc Vities have recently updated the Boaster biscuit packaging and the attractive royal blue and white packet looks busy, I would think that Mc Vities have quite rightly cottoned onto the idea that all cookie lovers shop with their eyes.
The plastic heat sealed packet is awash with cookies filled with chunks of Belgian chocolate and juicy looking hazelnuts.
Although you can buy dark chocolate and ginger Boasters, Cranberry and Almond Boasters and Belgian chocolate chunk Boasters the Chocolate and hazelnut variety come top of my list.

The cookie mixture is plain but Mc Vities have gone all out to please and have used butter in the mix which makes the cookies rich and very crumbly.
I really admire the forethought that has gone into baking these cookies, there are no tiddly little choc chips in these but each cookie is crammed with good sized chunks of delicious Belgian chocolate. As you break the cookie it is hard not to notice the mass of hazelnuts that mingle with the chunks of sweet Belgian chocolate.
There is no way that I would put the Boaster anywhere near my cup of hot tea, these superior cookies are meant to be savoured and lingered over.
Each cookie has 90 calories and you may as well face it you are never going to be able to close the packet after you have eaten just one.
I am lucky because the Other Half isnt` into cookies, so no sharing for me!

Vegetarians can enjoy McVities Boasters but they do contain nuts, soya, milk, eggs and gluten.
A packet of Boasters will cost you around £1.10, so they are not cheap by any means.

McVities are one of the brand names owned by United biscuits and I have to say that on the whole Mc Vities biscuits are very tempting indeed.

Summary: A superb cookie from McVities
