McVities Victoria Luxury Biscuits

We recieved a tin of these biscuits for Christmas just gone, and surprisingly only just got round to eating them, which is a shock, as usually anything sweet or chocolate covered in this house, usually goes in a matter of minutes.

Intro The nice blue one-foot wide and four inches high box that I’d just been given was a most welcome gift.

It was Christmas, it was biscuit tin season and it was definitely one of my favourite times. Even more so after Christmas when they were on special offer. The tin of choice this year was McVities Victoria in its glossy blue tin announcing its luxury contents. So I feel its my duty to tell you lovely people exactly what it contains! Opening it I was assailed with the whiff of chocolate assualting my nostrils, thats a big fat lie actually, I didnt really smell that much. I had to get right down and get a good sniff before I could really taste the chocolate which had a undertone of digestive ... more
