McVities Christmas Pudding Digestive Biscuits (Tesco) By @Cinabar

Last year McVities brought out Gingerbread Digestives in what was one of my favourite cross over products ever. I bought several packs, and we were happily munching on them well into the new year. This year there are couple of new cross overs, again both seasonal and the first ones up are these McVities Christmas Pudding Digestive Biscuits. These are chocolate digestive biscuits made with the flavour of Christmas pudding, an excellent idea and I couldn’t wait to tuck in.

I opened up the packet and there wasn’t any great aroma, the biscuits did smell a little fruity but only if you got close! I gave one a try and I have to say it was an anticlimax. There was a vague hint of seasonal spice and a vague hint of fruit, which are Christmas flavours but there isn’t much too them and I couldn’t get onboard with them. This biscuit is far from wow and I felt there wasn’t enough flavour to make them really fun and seasonal but there was enough to make you think it wasn’t worth it and that I’d rather have a regular chocolate digestive. The spice was a mild distraction. For my tastebuds these McVities Christmas Pudding Digestive Biscuits are not close to the Gingerbread ones, but I have a packet of the new Mince Pie Digestives I’m hoping will be better.
