Those look filthy. But I'm not trusting your opinion so will have to try them myself at some point just to make sure you're being honest about how good they are.

They are good, but only 6 in a pack.

chocolate? Yes.
Custard Cream? Nope.

I have to say that custard creams are a weakness of mine, as is chocolate. However I would need to taste them to determine if they were acceptable to my palate.

Not sure those look like they'd go with my cup of tea. I prefer dark chocolate by a country mile and have never understood custard creams.
They say your tastes are formed in childhood, so I unsurprisingly go in more for Italian stuff like Mulino Bianco and Grisbi, which luckily our local shops stock (this being west London). Grisbis were our idea of heaven as kids. Google them.

The chocolate ones look good. I presume there is almost no end to the flavours you can get if it is all in the creamy middle?
I quite fancy the Mulino Bianco in savoury flavour with a bit of cheese.

Custard Creams look like they should be awsome, but always seem overly sweet and rather cloying in the actual eating. Maybe coating them in chocolate masks that. |

England was generally pretty disappointing on the food front when we moved back here - I mean you try being sent from Italy to an English boarding school in the mid-80s. I didn't know what most of it was and it was all pretty revolting. |

If I were to come across these biscuits which flavour is the winner? There look to be a few choices.

Personally I like the standard chocolate Grisbis but the hazelnut ones are also good - not unlike nutella. Mulino Bianco...where to start...Abbracci ("hugs") are a classic - quite often eaten at breakfast in Italian households, dipped into their morning coffee, as are Pan di Stelle, which literally all Italian kids love. I also have a weakness for Settembrini, which are basically an Italian version of a fig roll. italianfoodshop.co.uk/collections/mulino-bianco |

When you go down the biscuit aisle in he local supermarket there's a whole world of choices and I like to try something new, but I always add in a packet of McVities Chocolate Digestives - a favorite from childhood. I like a couple of those with my cup of tea in the evening - even the dog has cottoned on to the routine now and when I move from the sofa at 9pm he hops off too and waits by the kettle and biscuit barrel so he can have one of his doggy treats too.

You definitely can't go wrong with digestives.

Of the digestive ranges, dark chocolate hobnobs are the one I'd go for.

The milk chocolate hobnob is the king of biscuits. I do like Cadburys milk chocolate coated Oreo’s as well, but I don’t eat biscuits that often.
