Advantages: Low in calories and fat, yummy, goes with tea, cheap

Disadvantages: a bit plain, cannot be dipped in hot tea!

Having recently had a blip of health consciousness (lasted for all of 2 weeks- including several tesco visits) I knew that I should give up my beloved biscuits, namely plain chocolate digestives--- but i just couldn't.

And then, down the aisle, I discovered McVitie's Rich Tea Lights! Now rich teas have always been my favourite biscuit. Crunchy, sweet, but not heavy. And what goes better with a cup of tea?

So I immediately flipped over to the nutritional info. Each biscuit contains a mere 36 calories (as opposed to say, 80 in a digestive), no hydrogenated vegetable oil and less that 1g of fat! I was delighted.

And did I mention that it was on sale? A whole stack only cost me 60p!

The biscuits taste a bit lighter than the originals (less fat involved). I like that. The name is somewhat deceiving. 'Rich tea' implies that you might want to dip it in Tea- but I've tried that and it's rubbish!

It goes completely soggy and just generally... ugh. Digestives, I have since decided, are much more 'dunk-proof'.

Since I am a vigorous biscuit eater the 300g packet only lasted a week or so. The packaging is a tad annoying. I don't bother with storing them carefully because I eat them quickly but if you're the type of person who eats like, 1 a week then the biscuits will probably go stale.

Summary: Definitely worth biting!
