The first ever digestive biscuit was created by a new young employee, Alexander Grant. The name Digestive was derived from its high content of baking soda as an aid to food digestion. Over one hundred years later the McVitie's Digestive remains a firm favourite and is the highest selling brand in the everyday biscuit segment. Over 71 million packets of McVitie's Chocolate Digestives are eaten in the UK each year - that's an astounding 52 biscuits per second. The HobNobs brand was launched in 1985 and a milk chocolate variant followed in 1987.
Chocolate hob nobs come packaged in a tube this makes an easy way to store biscuits and convenient for taking anywhere with out making a mess with biscuits falling out of the wrapper.
You can buy these biscuits in a 250 gram tube for 99p from Tesco . I have seen these biscuits on sale at other supermarkets and corner shops.
McVitie's Digestive Biscuits, 400 g (14.1 oz.) Packages (Pack of 7)
Appearance and Taste
These Hobnobs are substantially chunkier than standard chocolate digestives, with a generous rippled layer of milk chocolate covering a sturdy oat foundation. Due to their thickness they do require a firmer bite than most biscuits, but the resulting taste does not disappoint. The crumbly, oaty base is fantastically moreish and melts in the mouth after the initial crunch. Although I wouldn't normally envisage chocolate sauce on my porridge, this particular oat/chocolate combo is a winner.
Due to the porous nature of these biscuits I imagined that they would make great dunkers. Although not a disciple of dunking I nevertheless tried this out - how we suffer terribly in the name of research! My prediction was vindicated. The oats just soak up your chosen beverage like a starving sponge, delectably dissolving the base in an instant.
The bad news
Despite the super food ingredients of oat and wholemeal, these biscuits are enough to knock the calorie-conscious, unconscious. A whopping 93kcal per Hobnob means that you would have to run almost a mile to burn off the effects of a single biscuit. One third of a packet also accounts for the same percentage of an adult's GDA for fat, and over half the allowance for sat fats. It's a pity that the fat content is so prohibitive, otherwise they may have proven useful for endurance sports with their whopping carb content. The salt and sugar content is 3% and 7% (per biscuit) respectively, which I suppose is not too bad for such a tasty biscuit - but hardly healthy.
