McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

I like the odd McVitie's Chocolate Digestive, as long as it's not too odd, that is. They're probably one of the best-known biccies in the UK, which is not surprising really, as they've been around quite a while, since 1925 in fact, and according to their website, a staggering 71 million packets of these fellas are chomped every year in the UK. That's a mind-blowing 52 bics a sec! I often find that after a particularly satisfying blow-job, nothing ...
...to ensure my tea's not too wet, than a McVitie's Chocolate Digestive (hereafter referred to as MCD)...or three. That's the downside, one's never enough. So, without further ado, let's pop the plastic lid off this 250g cardboard tube (which costs around 70-odd pence, depending where you buy it). Just in case you've never ever seen an MCD before (in which case, welcome to Earth), they're round discs about 70mm across and 10mm thick. One side looks ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

When it comes to biscuits, you really can't beat McVities, can you? I have, and do on a regular basis, eat other brands. But, I always get drawn back to good old McVitie's! Why is this? Well, I'll tell you why I like them so much! I paid only £0.99p for a 400g packet of McVitie's Milk Chocolate Digestive Biscuits. And, there were 33% free - giving you an extra 100g free! (Meaning, you actually pay £0.99p for 300g). The biscuits come in a foil packet ...
...most of the packet are pictures of the biscuits themselves, some of them already having a bite taken out of them. They do look very tempting and appetising. Nice marketing ploy there, me thinks! In bold white lettering with a navy blue background the words 'McVitie's McV' are emblazened on the packet. The packet is easily opened as there is a little nick which you pull round the packet. This will neatly open the packet leaving no mess or broken biscuits. ...

...golden brown colour and has McVities original which is etched into the bottom of the biscuit. The top of the biscuit is covered in a nice layer of yummy milk chocolate. When biting into the biscuit it’s nice and soft and the biscuit is quite crumbly as well. The base of the biscuit crunches beneath your teeth and fills your mouth with sweetness whilst the chocolate on top melts slightly and tastes divine with the crumbly biscuit. These biscuits can ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

...Digestive and it was always McVities (why always McVities? Well when I was growing up in Northern Ireland there were no Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s, Safeway’s (there was M&S though so it’s not like we were deprived) so there were no supermarket own brands). I went through a phase of eating two for breakfast, after my cereal. I feel that biscuits are often over-looked as breakfast food. But I digress. As the years have passed it has become painfully clear ...
...bit of a revamp. McVities have gotten rid of the “McV” logo and replaced it with “McVities”. You can buy the Milk Chocolate Digestives in virtually any supermarket or convenience store. They come in a variety of pack sizes and even come in a resealable tube. I went for the resealable tube. The price of this varies depending on where you buy it but at most supermarkets it should be less than £1. The pack is mostly brown with a little blue lid and ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

...people may recognise the name McVities for also being the brains behind Mini Cheddars and Jaffa cakes. The company itself is owned by United Biscuits, what a name. The release of McVities chocolate digestive took place in 1925, and since then the company has now grown to selling 71 million packs a year in the UK alone, which works out as 52 biscuits being eaten per second. Think how many biscuits have been eaten just as you read this review. Makes ...
...plastic. The blue and yellow McVities logo is almost unmissable, and for the brown nature of the packet you will pretty much know what you are getting. The biscuit on the front looks really tastey as well, and we are told that no artificial colours or flavours have been included. INGREDIANTS: Wheat flour (39%), milk chocolate (29%)(sugar, cocoa butter, cocoa mass, dried skimmed milk, dried whey, butter oil, vegetable fat, emulsifiers (soya lecithin, ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

This week Sainsbury`s have McVities chocolate digestives on offer, a whacking 50% reduction. The biscuits have a good sell by date on them so I stocked up and bought four packets. If they had been on the shelf at full price I would have more than likely considered buying their own brand or even buying the Sainsburys Basic range chocolate digestive. Admittedly the own brand and basic range don`t have the refined almost `syrupy` taste of McVities ...
...the weekly shopping budget. McVities is a brand owned by United biscuits, McVitie and Price were originally Scottish biscuit makers and started baking their delicious biscuits in the early 1800`s in the city of Edinburgh. The first big selling biscuit ever made by McVities was the digestive. Then in 1947 the company were asked to bake the Wedding cake for Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Phillip Mountbatten. I enjoy a chocolate digestive with ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

...the ingenious tube packaging for Mcvities Chocolate Digestives arrived in 1999, and the new creative packaging was used for Hob nobs; another product by MC Vities shortly afterwards. McVitie's biscuits have been enjoyed by generations for just over 100 years. Alexander Grant was the first person to ever make a digestive biscuit. The name "Digestive" was chosen because the biscuit has a high content of baking soda which is an aid to food digestion. ...
...price, and thats probably why MCvities are a very popular manufacturer, because almost anyone can afford to have them in their home! In conclusion, I love the milk chocolate digestive biscuits, they have a sensational smell and taste wonderful, and I think it should be compulsory for everyone to have these in their biscuit tins at home! ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

Is there anything more comforting than a chocolate digestive? Now that the stunning summer is over (ahem!) and the days are drawing in, the nights get colder and darker and I find myself craving comfort food. I love the food of my childhood; warm, cheap and cheerful with the occasional treat. I remember that our bedtimes were very comforting; a bath, a bowl of cereal and then a mug of warm milk with two biscuits while mum read us a story. This ritual ...
...instead of plain ones Now I am allegedly grown up I don’t have the warm milk anymore, but I still adore chocolate biscuits. After many years of testing and being a skinflint and buying all the supermarket own brands I can safely say that for your run of the mill day to day biccie McVitie’s are quite definitely the best. Fox’s do a nice line in fancy tins and boxes, and there are numerous handmade delicacies around, but good old McV come up trumps ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

...one that's why I bought McVities Milk Chocolate Homewheat Digestives. Now I'm sure that most people all know what a chocolate digestive is but for those of you who don't I shall explain. A digestive biscuit is rather different to other biscuits as it is made of wheat and has a sweet wheat taste that you just don't get in any of the others. It also has a nice texture, not like the smooth mush you get when you are halfway through eating a Rich Tea, ...
...chocolate on one side. McVities Milk Chocolate Homewheat Digestives are better than most chocolate digestives, firstly they are made by McVities who are well known for being one of the best biscuit makers in the country and secondly because they are coated in Milk Chocolate rather than normal chocolate. They come in the usual McVities packaging, a round shape because all of the biscuits have been stacked on top of each other inside and it has a ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

...licking off the chocolate. McVities Digestives come in plain and milk chocolate varieties. They are basically just wheatmeal digestive biscuits covered in a delicious layer of chocolate. They come in a brown packet, with 'McV' in large white lettering on the front, set against a dark blue background and surrounded by a thin strip of yellow. The image of a half eaten biscuit on the front of the packet is particularly alluring. There is a convenient ...
...this makes opening the packet much easier. The biscuits themselves are round and about 7cm in diameter. There is a wavy pattern over the chocolate and the words 'McVitie's Original' are etched into the digestive part of the biscuit. The biscuits are deliciously crunchy and very crumbly. However, if you dunk them in tea, they become soft and the chocolate melts for you to lick off and enjoy. I like the oaty, wheaty taste of the digestive. But the ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

Seeing as there is a fine packet of these sitting in our secratary's cupboard (of which I have recently 'borrowed' a few) I thought I might as well review them. These wonders of biscuit-hood have been at the top of my favourites list for so long I can only assume I was born with a taste for them! A close run second is the plain chocolate variety, but that's a different story (and another way to waste half an hour!). Milk chocolate digestives are ...
...half covered in a very well presented slab of milk chocolate. Packaging: Found in a rather natty shiny brown plastic wrapper. There is a nice, tempting picture of one of the biscuits towars the right, and a large blue/white 'McV' on the left. Inbetween is the full title 'McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives' in very bright yellow lettering. Usually found in 400g packs, but now there is a new variety loose on th eunsuspecting public, a keep-fresh ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

...from my recent rediscovery of McVities Digestives (for those of you who haven't read that opinion, it was entitled nicely digestible and this is the follow up) I decided that I would try the Milk Chocolate covered version in order to see if one of the best biscuits on the market could be improved. So, money in hand, I marched along to my local supermarket and found several alternatives. One of my few criticisms of the uncoated digestives was that ...
...the blue, white and yellow McVities logo written diagonally across. The words Milk Chocolate Digestives are then also written in blue writing on what can only be described as a grey splodge! The biscuits are then accessed via a royal blue plastic lid. Plain chocolate digestives are also available in this range at a similar price but I find these to be a bit too rich in terms of cocoa content for my own personal taste.

...is the carboard tubes of Mcvities Chocolate Digestives and they are 250g tubes for about 70p. The tubes I find are more convinient, as they allow the biscuits to keep their yummy flavour. It is easy to tell that they are McVitie's, yet simple to tell them apart from the original digestives. Instead of the red packaging the normal digestives come in, these come in a brown packet. The Mcvitie's logo of 'McV' in large white text. A blue band of colour ...

Review of McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives

...i have always known is McVities Milk Chocolate Digestives. I am sure they used to be called Homewheat biscuits instead, but nevermind as long as they are the same biccies I don't mind! They are similar to normal digestive biscuits. For those who don't know what digestives are, they are round biscuits at about 5cm! They are a plainish looking biscuit with a really sweet taste. The milk chocolate version has one side coated with milk chocolate. The ...
...with the blue and white McVities Logo on the left hand side. The packet comes with the red tape thing which helps you open them easier but quite often, I find it doesn't work as well as it should and end up having to open the packet, the old fashioned way at the top! Also why is the 1st and last biscuit in the pack ALWAYS broken? It's always the same in a packet of biscuits. These biscuits are usually found in the biscuit aisle but quite frequently ...
