Advantages: good bite

Disadvantages: none

200g of Rich tea biscuits from Tesco in a bright blue wrapper cost 38p that's pretty good. Not too many calories in a single biscuit there are 36.

I bought some of these the other day and ate one or two with a cup of tea. These are not the most exciting biscuit they are plain and boring round with little pin prick in them a hard crisp biscuit , don't leave the biscuit tin lid off or they will go soggy. One advantage is that they dunk into the tea without disappearing into a mush at the bottom


In comparison to other makes of rich tea biscuit these are ok, middling not out of this world but not dire either. They taste plain slightly buttery. They are not much if any better than the value rich tea biscuit from Tescos. The value cost 25p for 300g.
.

I shall use these biscuits when the grandchildren come to visit. They are good biscuits to decorate with icing. A young child can just be given some icing to put on and then given some cake decorations sprinkles, coloured balls.
An older child will be able to make faces on them and use writing icing to write their initials on. This makes for a good activity on a cold wet day. After decorating of course your child can eat the biscuit too.

Would I recommend? Well yes, but no more than other rich tea biscuits and the teco value ones are in my opinion about the same tasting and dunkability,


These biscuits contain Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Raising Agents (Ammonium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Disodium Diphosphate), Barley Malt Extract, Glucose Syrup, Salt, Preservative (Sodium Metabisulphite).
Br warned Tesco says although they do not contain nuts they are made in a factory that uses nuts in other products.

Would I recommend? Well yes , but no more than other rich tea biscuits and the teco value ones are in my opinion about the same tasting and dunkability
