Review of Tesco Value Biscuit Barrel Biscuits
The product
What is it?
A simply packaged collection of everyday family biscuits from the Tesco Value range. The packaging is the usual Tesco Value white wrapper with the Tesco logo and product description in red and blue. The package contains five packs of biscuits, one each of bourbon creams, custard creams, nice and two packs of malted milk biscuits. A veritable biscuit barrel selection! The biscuits are simply wrapped in clear cellophane within the outer packaging, no fancy frill or labelling, just biscuits!
The biscuits are of a very good quality in my opinion. Their taste is sweet but not sickly, the texture crispy but not hard. The actual size of biscuits, to be fair is a little smaller than one would get if you bought a branded range, but a biscuit is a biscuit in my book! The nice biscuits are mildly coconutty and although the bourbons are the wrong shape in my view, being sort of square-ish not long and thin, the biscuits are just as I would expect them to be in appearance, taste and texture.
My partner is one of those people who cannot have a cup of tea or coffee without a biscuit and at just 68p for FIVE packets of biscuits, he can indulge his biscuit urges with a clear conscience! The custard creams are my particular favourite, they smell 'custardy' and taste wholesome and sweet, without being sickly. These biscuits are great for visiting grandchildren and for everyday eating.
I am not going to list ingredients or calorie and nutritional information for this product as I feel it would not enhance the review or make very interesting reading! Suffice to say that the biscuits are suitable for vegetarians, the manufacturing process uses milk, gluten, sugars and although not nuts, the product may contain traces of nuts, so anyone sensitive to these ingredients should take note. As with calorie, fat and carbohydrate information, we all know that biscuits of any kind are not a healthy option so I won't insult readers intelligence by stating more than this on the subject!

My thoughts and conclusion
Another winner from Tesco, cheap and very cheerful biscuits at a budget concious 68p for the whole pack. Where else could you get 5 packets of biscuits for such a small outlay. Well done to Mr Tesco and I am happy to recommend Tesco Value Biscuit Barrel Biscuits to other consumers.
