Fox's Big Softies

***I would just like to make clear form the start that I am speaking about the ‘Big Softie Cookie Bars’ which are chocolate and cherry flavour. Fox’s also make Big Softie cookies in other flavours that are circular and not individually wrapped. I cannot comment on what these are like as I have never tried them so the following only applies to the bars.*** I spotted these a couple of days ago in a convenience shop near my house. I haven’t ever seen ...
...I am usually so overwhelmed by the huge selection that I fail to notice them. Anyway they caught my eye because on the outer packet they have a sign in the corner saying ‘97% Fat Free’. Well I’m not on a diet but if you offer me a biscuit with so little fat in, the answer will, for certain, be a resounding ‘bring it on!’ So I purchased a packet for 79p (the RRP may differ as I brought them from a convenience store which is usually more expensive). ...

Review of Fox's Big Softies

...a pack for myself. Fox's Big Softies cookies are available in three flavours: Cherry Bakewell - cherry and almond, Apple Strudel - apple & sultana, and St Clements - orange and lemon.

Review of Fox's Big Softies

...this the flavour of what Fox's promise us to be 'real chocolate' (which I have to say tasted anything but), and you end up with a gooey mess in your mouth which leaves a very bitter chocolate aftertaste. All in all not a very nice experience. I'm not sure if I can lay the blame on any particular aspect of the snack, but for me, the whole combination just didn't work! I also got a little confused at the nutrition and ingredient details. They're listed ...
...which uses nut ingredients. Fox's obviously don't expect us to eat the pack in one go (despite it being billed as a 'snack'), as there's a tiny 'peel and reseal' sticker located in the bottom left hand corner of the back of the pack. However, this failed to work and my pack is currently sat in my office desk drawer going stale.. Overall, the idea's great, but I'd stick with the Go Ahead items if you're after a low fat snack that tastes half decent.. ...
