Advantages: Perfect with a cuppa

Disadvantages: None

These are a really fab snack, perfect to have a few of these with a nice hot beverage!!

Pacakging=
Eyecatching plastic wrapping with an easy opening bit at the end which means you don't have to fight to get to what you're really after!! Ingredients and calorific content are naturally also present should you wish to look :/

Appearance=
Lovely and dark on one side then paler on the non chocolate side, they look as good as they taste.

Chocolate bit=
They have got this just right, not a stingy amount but also not too thick either which I think can sometimes be really off putting in a biscuit. The chocolate itself is a lovely colour and taste wise it really is perfect, not at all bitter like you can get with some dark chocolate items. Great tasting.

Biscuity bit=
Again very good, great consistency and crunchy, slightly sweet but not too sweet, nice depth too, the size is just right to have 2 or 3 with a cuppa although they are not sickly at all so one can get carried away with munching on them. One word of advice, keep them locked up or hidden cos once you start it really is very hard to stop.

Biscuit tea test=
I'm not much for putting biscuits in tea but I do occasionally with these ones, they do stand the test rather well actually. Melts the chocolate somewhat and keeps a firm biscuit. What more do you need!!

Where to buy=
Stocked at most supermarkets and also discount places like B and M and Home and Bargains, I bought mine from B and M for I think 69p whereas in Tesco I reckon they are over a quid normally. So if you can get them cheaper then that is even better!! CURRENTLY HALF PRICE AT TESCO THOUGH MAKING THEM 64p for 400g........

Ingredients=
Wheat Flour (39%), Plaiin Chocolate (29%) [Sugar, Cocoa Mass, Vegetable Fat, Butter Oil, Cocoa Butter, Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin, E476), Natural Vanilla Flavouring], Vegetable Oil, Wholemeal (9%), Sugar, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Raising Agents (Sodium Bicarbonate, Tartaric Acid, Malic Acid), Salt

Company information=
McVitie's biscuits have been enjoyed by generations for over 100 years. The first ever digestive biscuit was created by a new young employee, Alexander Grant. The name Digestive was derived from its high content of baking soda as an aid to food digestion. Over one hundred years later the McVitie's Digestive remains a firm favourite and is the highest selling brand in the everyday biscuit segment.
