This is my biscuit of choice, whether it's with my customary cup of very sweet and strong Kenco Colombian Coffee (my favourite) or a cup of old rosy lea. (Tea) Whenever my wife and I visit the supermarket the shelves containing the McVities Plain Chocolate Digestive are invariably one of the first places I head for. A night in front of the old goggle box watching a DVD, movie or footy match simply wouldn't be the same without a packet or two of these tasty wee beauties strategically placed close to hand on the coffee table. As with McVities Jaffa Cakes (another of my favourite biscuits) I have been known to get through a couple of packets ...  Read the complete review

I never normally buy biscuits because of watching the weight etc etc but Darling Son was home for a few days last week on route from Gibraltar to Swansea and was feeling peckish so treated himself to not one but two packets of Plain chocolate Digestive Biscuits. Only one pack got eaten and the other pack got left here, so I just had to open them to have one of these very morish biscuits with my cup of hot water with a slice of lemon !!! These are the best biscuits to have with a hot drink, they are perfect for dipping in the mug, so that the chocolate is slighty runny and unless you leave it in the liquid for a long time they don;t tend to crumble or go so ...  Read the complete review

~~ Personal Testimony ~~ In my life so far I've eaten at least hundreds of thousands of McVities plain chocolate biscuits - enough packets stacked end to end to reach the moon and back. In Britain, the digestive biscuit has long had a strong cultural identity as the traditional accompaniment to a cup of tea and is frequently eaten as such - a tradition that I uphold. It's possible to live for a week on tea, milk and McVities Chocolate biscuits, although this is not recommended as it might lead to blockages of the waste disposal system. A dose of one packet per person per week should be enough to compliment most diets although cultural influences and stressfull ...  Read the complete review

I am a big biscuit fan - there are a lot of sweet treats I can take or leave but biscuits are a store cupboard essential for me. I know it is not very healthy but I have been known to eat a few biscuits for breakfast at times, though I am now trying to be healthier. One of my favourite biscuits is McVities Dark Chocolate Digestives. These are also available in plain and milk chocolate flavour. I have probably tried the two other flavours when I was much younger but the only ones I will buy and eat now is the dark chocolate flavour. The packaging is distinctive - a shiny dark brown colour with a red and blue swirl and Digestives written across this. ...  Read the complete review

The credit crunch may well be affecting the way in which we shop but there are some compromises that are not worth making. McVitie's chocolate digestive biscuits have a taste and texture like no other digestive biscuit on the supermarket shelf. McVitie's milk chocolate digestive biscuits are desirable but the plain chocolate variety are the Aston Martin of the biscuit aisle. McVitie's may have to charge a penny or two extra for their scrumptious biscuits but it is a price that many are prepared to pay. The McVitie's packaging is unique. The minute you see that deep brown wrapper with the red and blue flash you know that you are staring the McVities plain ...  Read the complete review
