...& sultana ones(!) - the fruity taste is quite subtle though not bland. Sometimes I find them a bit dry though - they also do exactly the same biscuits with a yoghurt layer covering which compensates for this and they are yummy! On some days I actually find this a little too sweet - the biscuits are also covered with a layer of sugar, so with the combination of the fruity filling - there is quite a bit of sugar with these. These biscuits are also ... Read review

Advantages: good for you
Disadvantages: expensive

Finding snacks that aren't full of all the bad things that taste fantastic isn't an easy job. I've bought Go Ahead Crispy slices for my daughter in the past and always looked at them thinking they looked really bland and dry, but not actually tasted them. In my mission now to start eating a bit better after giving birth, I decided to try these slices as I had recently tried the mini version and found them quite tasty. Available in three flavours, ...
...sultana, and forest fruit flavour. As a family we all like both the apple and orange ones, but haven't ventured onto the forest fruit yet. They are described on the packet as “apple and sultana filling in a light crispy biscuit” (change the fruit to suit whichever obviously).

...I would caution about is that they could contain traces of nuts, as it says they are mad eon a line handling nuts and sesame seeds, so if you have a nut allergy you may miss these out. They are good for the kids too, as instead of packing an unhealthy bag of crisps into your Childs lunch box you could pop one if these pack of three little bars instead, I'm sure they'd love the change. I hope you've enjoyed the review, now I'm going g to go and ... Read review

Advantages: Filling, fruity, low in calories and fat
Disadvantages: Unusual texture may not appeal, can be a bit boring!

...through the day. The McVities Go Ahead! range are well known for being interesting, tasty snacks that give the necessary burst of sugar and energy without being too high in fat or calories. However, having tried various options from the range, I found that generally the reason for them being so “healthy” was that they were, on average, about half the size of a normal snack! So, I turned to Go Ahead! Crispy Slices. The slices are small, thin biscuits, ...
...comprise two thin layers of a crispy substance, which is somewhat reminiscent of very thin pastry – it does not immediately remind me of any other kind of biscuit. In between the two layers is a layer of fruit. The biscuits are currently available in two different flavours: orange and sultana or apple and sultana, and the fruit filling is a thin, chewy blend of sultanas that have been squashed flat, and a very gooey fruit puree. Each slice is topped ... Read review
