Advantages: as good as others

Disadvantages: plain boring biscuit

These are a pack of value biscuits I am reviewing. 300g of biscuits for 25p can't get much cheaper than that. There are about 25 or 26 biscuits in a pack so 1p a biscuit can't be bad. Mc Vities 300g rich tea pack costs 71p from Tesco so as you can tell from the price. Rich tea biscuits are not the most exciting of biscuit.

The Tesco value pack comes in the standard value packaging white with blue writing a picture of a couple of biscuits on it too , blue ends of the paper seal the end of the biscuit pack .. If you do not wish your friends to notice that you are so poor/mean you have to buy value biscuits then unwrap put them in a biscuit tin or arrange on a plate to serve.

Personally I am not desperately keen on rich tea biscuits of any kind. The Tesco value rich tea are an ok biscuit a certainly not much different to any other rich tea biscuit.

I am putting 7 of these biscuits on a plate. You will know why in a minute. I look at them they are flat and round, I guesstimate about 2 inches in diameter. They are a light golden brown in colour and have a few holes pricked in them.

I am sorry I am tempted to eat one It is crisp as I said bland the ingredients, Wheat Flour, Sugar, Vegetable Oil, Raising Agents (Ammonium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Disodium Diphosphate), Barley Malt Extract, Glucose Syrup, Salt, Preservative (Sodium Metabisulphite). Nothing to worry about there, unless I am offering to someone with wheat allergies. I note though they are made in a factory that uses nut so I will not offer to someone with a nut allergy either

If left out to long they will go soggy. So I hurry up and call the children in. I have some white icing made up and some writing icing too a few decorative sprinkles and silver balls.

We are going to decorate these biscuits it is my son in laws birthday and the family have come for tea. The children 2 and 6 generally slop icing onto the biscuits and squirt the writing icing on. They sprinkle and put the silver balls on; the biscuits look fantastic children daddy will love them with his cup of tea. My 6 year old child is a bit more creative with his designs than the 2 year old he has made a face on his.
The biscuits do not stay crisp long when decorated but its ok we are eating them very soon. Placed in an air tight container they will stay crisper that bit longer. But who cares they are iced in such an exquisite way by the children.

There are 36 calories per biscuit so not too bad unless you eat one of my spectacularly iced biscuits. (Fantastic for children's Christmas parties)
