McVities Chocolate Hobnobs

I rarely buy biscuits, but when I was browsing round Sainsburys a while back and saw Hobnobs on special offer I couldn't resist. Normally they retail at around £1.10 per 300g packet, and at this price I can easily walk past. However seeing piles and piles of them screaming half price at me, I was instantly drawn to the packets. Milk chocolate hobnobs have to be my ultimate favourite biscuit, but I will resist them for both the price reason and also because a packet will not last me very long, and I'm left out of pocket and then serious guilt trips to the gym needed. You get around 16 biscuits per 300g packets (yes I counted them), each the ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that I do have rather a liking for most biscuits - probably far too much of a liking as far as my waistline is concerned! Also, in my opinion, if you have a mid morning or afternoon cup of tea and it isn't accompanied by at least one biscuit, then something is seriously lacking! And a further thought as far as my biscuit habits are concerned - I am a bit of a dunker! So, any biscuit I choose to have with my coffee has to pass the dunking test! (More of that later!) I have just recently rediscovered McVities Chocolate Hobnobs, a biscuit I was very fond of in my early twenties but obviously discarded during one of my numerous diets. I had ...  Read the complete review

WOW what a hob-nobbily, phantasmagoricaly delicious biscuit these really are!! To what do I refer? Why the chocolate hobnob of course! I first tried hobnobs in their original form and even then they were certainly a biscuit I really enjoyed but add a bit of chocolate to anything and well it improves it (well with a few exceptions I guess, I mean I wouldn't melt chocolate on to my fish supper or have it with my lamb boona). Mcvities certainly got things right when they decided to half cover their delicious hobnobs with chocolate; they turned a fairly enjoyable dunking biscuit into a real luxurious treat. For those of you who have perhaps ...  Read the complete review

***McVities Chocolate Hobnobs*** I do not usually buy these but when I went into a nearby Sainsbury's recently they were on offer - they were half price. So as they have quite a long best before date I stocked up (roughly 6 months grace). The reason I don't like to buy them is that they are sooo moreish. You can easily get carried away. ***What are they like?*** Well they are available in both plain and milk chocolate and there is also a more expensive version which is packaged in a sealed cardboard container, I suppose to help keep the biscuits fresh. The thing is in our house they never hang around that long! These are an ...  Read the complete review

I'm not usually a big biscuit fan but I do love my chocolate digestives. And can you get any better than McVities? I don't think so. As I was doing my weekly shop I decided I wanted something different to snack on for a change and so when I saw these (on special offer) I thought I'd pick up a packet. I've always liked Hobnobs and I think they taste nice on their own but the chocolate covered ones just add the edge and tastes so much better. The thing is though, they are like Pringles, once you pop you just can't stop, and of course that's what I did! *****Packaging***** I bought a 300g packet, with the blue background and the delicious-looking ...  Read the complete review
