Fox´s Rich Tea Creams

Today has been a chilly day here in Scotland - again!! This afternoon i put the kettle on and made myself a large mug of tea. Just the thing to curl up on the sofa with on a day like this. I searched the cupboard for something to have with my tea. I didnt want anything chocolatey so that was the kitkats and single twix's out of the question. Then i find a packet of Fox's Rich Tea Creams. One of my favourit plain biscuits. I only dicovered the existance of these biscuits a few months ago whilst browsing the aisles of Somerfield. Knowing that they are made by Fox's you are assured of a quality ... more

These biscuits remind me so much of being young. To me they’ve always been called Nelly’s biscuits, and I still can them that now! My aunty Nelly used to live at the bottom of where I live, in the same village. I do remember going down to her bungalow with my mam and nana to see her, and she was always asking if I wanted one of Aunty Nelly’s biscuits. Of course, that was Rich Tea Creams.

Rich Tea creams are Fox's variation on the classic Custard Cream, which happen to be one of my favourite bikkies. My step-dad bought one of those huge boxes of broken biscuits and as I was sifting through the mounds of crushed fruit shorties and digestives, I found these little delights in various pieces. Okay, finding a whole one I can now describe the product. Tea Creams are 6cm long and 2cm wide (the same size as my little finger to put that into perspective). The edges are crimped and there's a nice wigly patterned border running around the biscuit with the words 'FINGER CREAM' stamped in ... more

Fox’s Rich Tea Creams were one of those sweets we bought yesterday in Sainsbury’s. I opened a pack of them to accompany our coffee as there is such bad weather outside and we almost fall asleep. I don’t understand how our kids are so active even when the weather is so boring and sleepy. Anyway, let’s see these yummy biscuits. Price and package ----------------------- Fox’s Rich Tea Creams come in a very simple blue pack. On the left you can see the Fox’s logo and on the right there are three biscuits. Below the Fox’s logo is written Creams and below the biscuits is written rich tea with real ... more

As i picked up my cup of tea, i noticed a blue rectangular packet of biscuits on the worktop next to it. The word "Fox's" was in bold at the top left hand corner with a glowing blue around it. underneath in yellow was written, "Rich tea creams." The first thing that came to my head was, "Rich tea's with cream in them?" It sounded like an odd thing to me, so i decided to have a look at them. The front of the packet read, "Light, crisp biscuits with a vanilla cream filling" And unless you are blind, you would definitely be able to see the huge sign text reading, "ONLY 65P" Surrounded by a bright ... more
