I never watch my weight in January when the birds are still asleep and the trees are resting. I indulge in expensive biscuits instead. Relatively speaking they are cheaper than buying clothes I don’t need for hibernation. And it’s too cold and miserable for the Sunday morning flea market shopping I usually enjoy at Greenwich, Kings Cross and Camden when the weather warms up.

Eight biscuits maybe nine, for £14 is a luxury I know and I don’t buy them very often but if you need something, a pick me up in January I can highly recommend them.

They are not overly sweet or especially massive, smaller than a mini twix, or two chocolate digestives but way more satisfying. You know how you’ll have two chocolate digestives and then go back for another two, well you don’t do that with these, two is definitely enough, probably because you only get 8 in the box.

They combine crunch, really good quality chocolate, leaving a chocolatey flavour that lingers after the last bite and a salty sugary kick too, that’s enjoyable and memorable but not compulsively moreish. Two of these is definitely satisfying and enough.

I’ve tried the Hazelnut Pralines and the Milk Chocolate Pearls, both great biscuits but the Salted Caramels come out on top for me. Absolutely love the royal blue ballon design too, Reminds me of some hot air ballon wallpaper I bought years ago from Colefax and Fowler Manuel Canovas, L'envol “The Flight” Wallpaper I absolutely fell for. I can see why Fortums chose this imagery conjuring up that up up and away feeling these biscuits deliver.

I am lucky I can walk there the Fortums and pick up what I need. For online shopping the minimum delivery from Fortum and Mason is £6.00 so it’s better to buy two or three things at once. They use DPD which I am assured is very reliable if you want to send the biscuits as a gift. I’ve just seen the fantastic range in store for Valentine’s Day, the pandas and rabbits are super but these biscuits would make an amazing valentine gift too.
