Mcvities Digestives fans the triple chocolate version is a recipe change you won’t be able to resist

Did you know biscuit makers Mcvities hold the royal warrant. I wonder which is the kings favourite? I only bought this packet of McVities Digestives a day ago, a new recipe with a chocolate flavoured base digestive replacing the traditional “digestive biscuit” base. And as you can see between two of us we’ve all but polished off the whole packet. Whoops.

I bought ours in Morrisons for £2.35 but I noticed this morning on Ocado the online grocery website you can pick up these highly addictive “seriously chocolatey” biscuits for only £1.85. pays to shop around.

For someone who can usually take or leave a chocolate biscuit these babies have been lethal. You have two and then before you know it you are back for another two so avoid at all costs if the biscuit tin is your nemesis.

Described as a triple chocolate sensation by marketeers they are actually not far wrong, a cocoa digestive base. Topped with milk chocolate layer and somewhere dark chocolate chips as well.

McVitie's most indulgent biscuits yet they say and whoever they are are right. You don’t actually notice the dark chocolate chips when you are stuffing them in your face after a good old tea dunking but perhaps this is what makes them so moreish as they actually don’t taste that sweet.

I wager if you love a chocolate digestive and you try these. Even if you don’t love a chocolate digestive and you try these you’ll surprise yourself how quickly you’ll manage to devour the whole packet.

I usually hate it when brands like Mcvities try and take an old favourite that you think can never be improved, a rich tea biscuit or fruit shortcake springs to mind and ruin it, but in this case the Triple Choc one is the one.
