McVities HobNobs - Chocolate Brownie Edition (Asda) By @Cinabar

Over Christmas I have eaten multiple packets of McVities Digestives Gingerbread Edition, they are officially my favourite seasonal biscuit! Lovely warming spice. They have already disappeared off shelves which is upsetting but they have been replaced with these McVities HobNobs Chocolate Brownie Edition, obviously I got a pack of the new ones to try.

So these biscuits are flavoured with chocolate brownie and are part of the HobNobs ranges. I opened up the pack and the biscuits looked and smelt like regular HobNobs, I had been expecting the biscuit to be a darker colour because of added cocoa for the Brownie element but I couldn’t see it.

I could taste the Chocolate Brownie in the biscuit, they were a little sweeter than usual and more chocolatey and they were pleasant, they were nice even. I have a sweet-tooth and I like chocolate but I also like like regular HobNobs and felt these were lacking the oaty flavour because of the extra added Brownie sweet chocolate taste. As I said these were ok, but they weren’t special. These won’t be a repurchase for me, perhaps I’m just down that the Gingerbread ones have gone!
