I don't often buy biscuits as I know I will end up eating far too many! However at times I succumb to temptation! Recently whilst shopping in my local Tesco I really fancied something sweet and chocolaty. Looking along the biscuit shelf I spotted a pack of viscount mint chocolate biscuits. I hadn't seen these on sale for ages and knew they were once a favourite, so decided to buy a pack.

Viscount mint chocolate biscuits are made by Burton's biscuits. The company was founded in 1935 by Joseph Burton. In those days the biscuits sold were known as gold medal biscuits. To-day the company is responsible for many of the well known biscuit favourites such as jammy dodgers and Maryland cookies to name a few. Viscount biscuits are aimed at the luxury end of the market and the smart green and silver individually wrapped biscuits reflect this.

The biscuits come in packs containing just 7 biscuits. They are not cheap, costing £1.48.The biscuits are round and covered in chocolate. On biting into one I was pleased to find the same lovely mint fondant layer as I had remembered. The chocolate is not that thick but compliments the mint layer perfectly. The biscuit itself is crunchy without being to hard.

As you would expect, these biscuits are no healthy option! The biscuits are quite small and it would be easy to eat more than one at a time. Each biscuit contains 79 calories and 4.3 grams of fat. Overall I love these biscuits and really do have to be disciplined to avoid eating more than just one! They are widely available from most supermarkets .
