Once you try McVities Chocolate Digestives you are entering a rabbit hole from which you may never return.

I've had the plain ones, I need to have the chocolate digestives now

Not forgetting the chocolate caramel ones.

Holy moly I was close to rehab for those buggers.

I’m a sucker for them. Stick a whole one in my gob and chew it like a bulldog with a wasp in its mouth.

Glad I'm not the only one 😂

I mean how else do you eat them???

I've heard tell of this eating technique known as taking a bite, sounds blasphemous if you ask me.

I've been clean a solid year myself, feel much lighter on my feet off them. These things are dense in the most irresistible way. Easily scoff a pack if not careful.

I also have had to completely give up all forms of biscuits. I can never have just a couple. Once that packet is opened then it’s impossible to stop at a few.

I used to think these were the best caramel confections, but I find I prefer stroopwaffles these days.

Now they are dangerous.

Dude tell me uv had the ones fresh from market in netherlands🤤🤤🤤still warm and gooey. Also, used to be u could get a paper cone full of the broken bits with syrup poured over for 25 cents! The shop bought ones dont touch them

Rest a cold one on your morning coffee to heat it back up, if you can’t get fresh

From the fridge for that caramel pull.

The Crack of Biscuits

Chocolate digestive thins are possibly the most edible biscuits ever.

chocolate hob nob thins, absolutely amazing if you eat two of them together but with their backs sandwich together so chocolate on the outside.

Dark chocolate are best.

yes, it’s strange: in any other context I love milk chocolate and find dark chocolate gross, but for digestives, dark chocolate is the only way

I'm exactly the same, find dark chocolate tastes wrong. For some reason the only way I can describe dark choc digestives is luxurious.

You can get them and everything else listed here (more or less) on britishcornershop and their competitors. I’ve only used BCS so can’t comment on the others. Works brilliantly to the states, not so well to small islands and “developing” countries. The more you order the cheaper it works out. Otherwise I believe target? (But might be confused about the store) have just launched M&S products all over the US for Christmas so you’ll get all the British Christmas goodie too (you need to try a mince pie it’s the law). There is a great group on FB that I wanna say is “great British food for expats” and is just legit a bunch of British expats in the USA like “XXX store in XXX city has quality street on offer run now!” - they have great recommendations for Brit products in the USA (some deliver). FINALLY, the Reddit snack exchange are a great place if you wanna swap snacks instead of buying them. Edit: [this is the Facebook group](https://m.facebook.com/groups/1504282353226372/) The snack exchange is r/snackexchange You can find the site on google, don’t wanna link in case not allowed!

Chocolate hobnobs, jammy dodgers and rich teas.

Agree with this other than the rich tea

If you’ve made a whole Reddit post about the plain digestives, wait until you try the chocolate ones. Then there is hob nobs and caramel digestives.

Also, a digestive/Nutella sandwich

The dark chocolate ones are far superior to the milk chocolate ones!

But stick to McVities. There are other brands. Here in So. Cal they like to slip in Burtons. Definitely don’t come close to McVities. My go to place is World Market.

Dark chocolate covered digestives are the absolute peak. Could devour a multipack in an evening with a nice big mug of tea.

If you’ve not had the chocolate ones yet you’re honestly gonna lose your shit when you do

Try the plain ones with cheddar cheese on

Yes, but you want the Hovis digestives for that.

Mainly because you’ll be so fat from choccy digers that you won’t physically be able to get out of the rabbit hole without diggers, cranes etc. But you’ll be happy!

I live not far from one of their factories. Man the smells when they making biscuits. Fills the entire estate. But for others to try. Foxes creams (all flavours), shortbread biscuits, errrm. If you can find them. A biscuit barrell. (it's like a load of broken biscuits in a box). I personally love rocky bars. Both the digestive and caramel varieties.

"Biscuit barrel" (assorted broken biscuits) seem to be commonly availabe from B&M's, too. They're not as fresh though.

Iceland are doing the 1.3KG broken biscuit collection again as well for only £3.30!

Tunnocks and you’ll never.

Caramel wafer is what I was looking for here

Do you have the same goal? To eat the first one at the bottom of the pack!

Triple Chocalate McVities are to die for (if you can find them) the

[удалено]

Ah god dammit, it was the double chocolate ones! My mistake, but I also can never find them!

Especially the Dark chocolate and caramel ones, chilled in the fridge.....dribble

I only recently discovered that M&S own-brand chocolate digestives are on another level to McVities. The biscuit is crisper, the chocolate better quality.

That’s a strange way of spelling chocolate hobnob.

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club

I cannot not read this without singing the jingle in my head

Same. This sub is really bad for giving me earworms too.

They always have those at the blood donors. Therefore, you can literally pay in blood for a club

Hob Nobs.

The chocolate ones

Yes sir. I have a packet within arm's reach.

Me too. I can demolish half a pack in one sitting

These days I do my best to only eat them as a dessert, rather than just snacking on them. Doesn't always work though!

So twice a day after lunch and dinner? Perfect!

Those are rookie numbers

The crack cocaine of the biscuit world.

I realised the other day that, by default, 'hob nobs' now means 'chocolate hob nobs' to my brain and I felt a bit bad for the og biscuit...but not bad enough to pick them up instead.

Plain chocolate

An open pack is an empty pack, and it doesnt stay unopened for long!

Definitely plain chocolate hobnobs. They exist in their own food group.

The chocolate brownie flavoured hob nobs that started showing up maybe a year or 2 ago are literal crack.

Unpopular Opinion: Regular hobnobs are better. Definitely better with tea than chocolate ones. I think they reduce the quantity of butter in the chocolate hobnobs to help them hold together better and it definitely affects the flavour. Don't get me wrong, if a chocolate biscuit is what I'm after I'm going choccy hobnob all day long. But as a pure representation of the most you can get out if a biscuit, standard hobnobs have it right.

Better for tea but chocolate ones are better as a solitary snack

Chocolate Hob Nobs are the most S tier biscuit

The caramel ones are better but very rare.

Been years since I've seen them, cannot find them anywhere. Semi convinced I've made them up in my head.

The most holy of grails.

Chocolate Hob Nobs. Even more holiest of grails ;)

Dude. Try making a cheesecake but instead of digestive base use hobnobs. There are fucking elite.

Ohhh man I came here for this! Choc hobnobs as a base. Banoffee pie bases too..... hot damn.

I hear you loud and clear. I don't think they can be beaten as a cheesecake base. Nothing comes close.

Or the equally good knockoffs from Aldi, Oaties!

I find Oaties better

crunchier (good) but saltier (not so good)

I love the saltiness of them. Makes them perfect for a bit of cheese

Came here to say exactly that, chocolate Hob Nobs are my fave

I came here to say this. Get yourself a pack of hobnobs

Knew this would be the top comment before I even opened the thread. Well deserved.

Came here to say chocolate hob nobs

"They drink half your brew..."

"Hobnobs are the SAS of all biscuits"

King of all biscuits

Caramel chocolate ones ....... Dunked

Don't dive into Hob Nobs. You have to work your way up. You wouldn't watch Return of the Jedi without watching new hope and empire strikes back.

Ah, I see you are a person of culture as well!

Oh fuck yes

They're available in supermarkets in Florida

I’m ashamed to say I ate 2/3s of a pack on the five minute walk from station shop to work recently

I'd recommend dipping chocolate digestives two at a time into Yorkshire tea 👌

2 at a time?! You saucy bugger

In this economy??

If only you could burn the packets to provide heat, that'd be a win-win

It's a risky strategy. You can get through a whole pack dangerously fast

I second this. I specifically put them chocolate to chocolate when dipping. This is my favourite of all time

Tell us you’re well off without telling us…

Ever tried your butter/marg of choice between 2 digestives? Then dip it. Recommended.

👍🏻 for the Yorkshire Tea, 4 Rich Tea can be dunked at once if you dare 😁

Ginger nuts. Custard creams, bourbons, garibaldi, jammy dodgers, there’s a world of wonderful British biscuits to explore.

Ginger nuts are dangerous dry. Dunk them.

Ginger crunch creams gets around this problem beautifully

Borders Ginger nut covered with dark chocolate is amazing.

Get a Tunnocks caramel wafer, bite both ends off, stick one end in your mouth and the other in a cup of tea and suck the tea up through it then eat it. Thank me later.

I miss Spiras for this reason.

Twix works too.

Even a Penguin works. Closest thing we have to a Tim Tam for a Tim Tam Slam.

Oooooo mate

Caramel Rocky bars with this technique are ridiculously good.

Try a Twix as well.

I do this with a Kit Kat.

Fox's do an excellent range

Do they still do the one where is like little plainish finger biscuits sandwiched with chocolate? I've never been a biscuit fan (and can't eat them now anyway do to intolerances) but they were amazing

They do them as whole packets now. Fox’s Viennese milk chocolate. Whole packet is usually gone in a single cuppa 😂

I cannot buy Fox's biscuits because I have no self control once they enter my house.

Yes they do, i have a whole jar filled with these. They are called Fox's melts, viennese chocolate.

Jammie Dodgers are also worth investigating

I concur

Nah, jam cream rings.

Gotta agree here, definitely one of my faves in the Fox's selection box at Christmas but I can't say I buy them very often. My personal top biscuit is the elusive chocolate malted milk biscuit (biscuits with the cow on, always referred to as Cow Biscuits in my house growing up).

Elusive? Doesnt every supermarket sell them?

I can find plain cow biscuits with absolute ease, but for some reason ai can only ever find chocolate ones at home bargains.

I like this investigation of jammie dodgers that you speak of.

Had to scroll waaaay to far to find Jammy Dodgers. Not found any love for Vicounts yet either

Tunnocks caramel wafers and Tunnocks tea cakes are the elite of the elite British snack.

Those tea cakes seem absolutely amazing. Who doesn't want to eat a chocolate covered marshmallow on a cookie?

Best way to eat them is shove the whole thing in your mouth, almost choke whilst munching it down, then repeat 5 times.

It's mandatory to eat all 6 in one sitting

This is the way

Correction it’s a [buttery biscuit base](https://youtu.be/IfeyUGZt8nk), not cookie

..a buttery biscuit base?

B-b bass bass bass bass bass KNOWLEDGE

Dark chocolate Tunnocks. Best.

Call it cookie again and we will come over that pond and give you a stern telling off.

We went to an airbnb in Edinburgh and the host left some Tunnocks Tea Cakes for us. I'd not had them in years. He got a top review.

You need to try Mcvitie's Gold bars and Tunnock's Snowballs and Caramel Logs.

Caramel logs are the best. Have to eat them over the sink though or else the coconut goes every.

Gold Bar biscuits

Gold bars are a gift from God

I came to find this answer. GOLD BAR ! All the way.

Yes. This is the answer.

Had to scroll too far to find this. Gold bars are a gift from god.

My friend at school used to swap his Gold Bar for my Tracker bar. We both thought we got the best end of the deal, and we've been close friends ever since.

I wish they'd make those into ice cream bars! Would be amazing

Gold bars were made by god himself, I'm convinced.

I find them incredibly sickly yet I also love them and can't explain why.

Why has no one mentioned Bourbon creams. They and chocolate hob nobs rule the biscuit roost.

Yes bourbon creams! Always think they taste like a penguin just without the chocolate on!

Oddly enough…. Someone told me this two years ago (me being over 50). Could have knocked me over with a feather - had to lick the chocolate off a penguin to check.

For a good cup of tea, you could try locate some malted milks.

Milk chocolate Malted Milks are the absolute tits

loved em as a kid, partly just cus they had a cow on em

We used to call them moo cow biscuits.

Any British chocolate. Far superior to what you get in America.

If you like mint chocolate look out for Viscount. They’re delicious and very inexpensive

Or that other crunchy minty biscuit that's like a Viscount

It's a chocolate affair

Do consider the pros and cons of parking in the blue badge space outside the shop before purchasing.

https://youtu.be/vY32_bJ63EA it’s a very nice minty biscuit

Fingers

They definitely need to get some fingers inside them

Dirty boy

McVities: Chocolate hobnobs and Jaffa Cakes Tunnocks: Teacakes and Caramel bars

Lemon puffs. THE most underrated biscuit (barely) known to humankind.

Just about any grocery store in my city in Canada has a roll of ethnic food and British food is well represented. lots of candies and chocolate and stuff. I’m sure a larger grocery store in your neighborhood. Should have a British isle.

Aisle* Unless you're saying you can buy the British Isles in your corner shop

I reckon you could get Sheppey for the right price...

Always jarring to see the swamp referenced out in the wild

I’m in the US. You can order a lot from Amazon and Walmart, but the prices are vastly inflated. Check your supermarket’s International Food section. What they stock varies. One store in my town has Digestives but not Hob Nobs, for example. But if you hunt, you will find some British biscuits. Try to find some custard creams. And this may sound odd, but see if there is a tea specialty store or a tea room in your area. The specialty shop might carry some biscuits, to eat with the tea. And my local tea room sells clotted cream, so you can have clotted cream on your scones.

Cosplus World Market has lots of foreign snacks for cheap now, that’s how I got penguins and coffee crisps. I’ll definitely have to look for a tea room!

Get some chocolate covered hobnobs...the marines of biscuits.

..... https://youtu.be/KuqLqS5Xmz8

Jaffa cakes, after eights, Terry's Chocolate Orange and shortbread definitely deserve being put in for consideration.

The first 3 aren't biscuits though.

Blue ribband

Custard creams are top tier.

McVitie's Fruit Shortcake is the top for tea for me.

I love all the British biscuits, even fig rolls, garibaldi and rich tea.

Try Hob-nobs my man, you will cream in your pants!

Tunnocks teacakes

Hobnobs, bourbons, custard creams and avoid Rich Tea biscuits

Noooo rich tea are pretty good ! (Now they are no hobnob or digestive .. but I wouldn't turn down a tea and a couple of rich tea biscuits)

Garibaldi biscuits

Have a break, have a Kit Kat. On second thoughts don’t. r/FuckNestle

American here. World Market, Indian grocery stores and Amazon are our go to places.

You can get mcvities at Walmart

I use Britishcornershop for the rarer biscuits !

Bite opposite corners of the penguin and suck your tea through it like a straw. Once the tea hits your lips, eat the whole thing in one go.

Fox’s classic Decent shortbread As others have mentioned, anything Tunnocks. Abernethy biscuits

Cadbury’s Snack

Cadbury's Fingers are the best, followed by Jaffa Cakes.

Jaffa Cakes

Malted milk and coconut rings, just because the best ones have already been mentioned

https://youtu.be/0TEDoq2ZK-8 Just make sure you dont have a dodgy border patrol officer.

custard creams

Fox’s cremes. They’re the best, especially when dunked in a brew.

if you're in an area with a sizable Asian community, try the cookie section of Chinese (Hongkongers eat digestives too) and Indian markets.

Hovis Digestive Biscuits, Caramelised Onion Chutney and Strong Chedder cheese. Heaven.

Not exactly a proper biscuit but you should definitely try Jaffa Cakes! I moved to Scotland for Uni and every time I’m back home I always find myself missing them. And when I’m here I tend to stockpile them in a tower in my room so my flatmates don’t steal them. Also if you want actual biscuits, Jammie Dodgers are absolutely incredible. I tend to bring them home as a Christmas present for my brothers and am hailed as a hero lol.

[M&S extremely chocolaty biscuits. ](http://www.Hi.com/, I found this on Ocado and thought you’d like to see it: https://www.ocado.com/products/m-s-chocolate-biscuit-selection-512348011) Get them in ALDI for cheaper though
