I like chocolate tea. It's rare I find a decent hot chocolate that tastes of actual chocolate, rather than water and reminiscence of chocolate, or something a bit milky with a chocolate aroma. Besides, chocolate tea has pretty much zero calories, so with fairly careful eating during the day, I managed to fit in the whole packet of McVities Signature Chocolate Cream Swirls in for my pudding, and with a pot of low calorie ice cream to accompany it.
First off I thought the packaging of these McVities Signature Chocolate Cream Swirls was pretty smart looking. It had a classical indulgent feel to the design. On opening, the dozen swirl patterned biscuits were very pretty indeed and with a gooey filling. The biscuits are smaller than expected. These biscuits do not snap, I tried for the photograph of the biscuit filling, and one half simply exploded and went everywhere. Don't try it at home. They do bite in half perfectly well though if you want to slowly indulge yourself like I did.
These McVities Signature Chocolate Cream Swirls had a soft creamy dark chocolate fondant inside. The outer biscuit and chocolate biscuit swirl was very crunchy indeed. I could taste the chocolate, and also taste the biscuit, and the sweet chocolate filling as everything washed around my palate. Every mouthful had all the chocolaty biscuity creamy flavours. These indulgent biscuits were really really nice, and went perfectly with my chocolate tea and caramel ice cream. Yum.
