I've actually tried a similar thing in Hong King and they have so many variety of these, you can also get these in the Chinese supermarkets too. They come in strawberry dips, white chocolate, plain, and even salted spring onion flavour ones. They will probably be a bit of a novelty in the british market, will definitely appeal to kids but that's as far as it goes.

Kraft does a good attempt, but they're not really as good as they could be. For a start, there isn't really enough chocolate dip on these, it's too thin a layer. The biscuit taste is nice, very light and subtle and surprisingly moist, almost like a good cake. The portion sizes are a bit small but I suppose are about right if you end up eating the whole box, especially with kids, you don't really want them eating too much of this. And the cost; 70p from Tesco's, a bit too much I think.

These are bit like Pringles as well, where once you bite into one little biscuit you end up chomping through the whole pack within a couple of minutes. Not really something that is filling enough for lunch or even a satisfying snack. I would probably only reach for these out of boredom, if you have nothing else better to do and your hands need something to fiddle around with.

On the otherhand, these would be great for kiddie parties, but trying to fill a good large plate with these will take a lot of packets, a lot of expensive packets...It would probably work out cheaper if you go to the Chinese supermarkets and buy them in bulk, but since they're imported they're not exactly much cheaper either. Watch out for these in Hong Kong as there are so many more varieties out there at a much cheaper price too.



Thanks for reading.
