Hotuk just told me there is a blackcurrant jaffa cake - something for the shopping list.

If you can’t wait to get your hands on the Blackcurrant addition, there’s good news: you will be able to very soon. The Blackcurrant Jaffa Cakes will be launching on April 25, available to buy exclusively at Tesco. The sharing boxes – which include 10 cakes – will retail at £1.20 per box.
- only 10 in a packet ?

Blackcurrant? grim.

The Cherry, Pineapple, and Passionfruit ones were all awesome.

Jaffa Cakes in a biscuit thread, aye?

Jaffa Cakes in a biscuit thread

I think you have hit on something - this could be a lesser spotted brexit benefit
- jaffa had been legally categorised as a cake for EU vat exclusion ? but can return to the fold now.

The cherry ones are my favourite so far, and I never thought anything could beat the original orange.

My new favourite. Magnificently crunchy and tasty.

Carrefour do a good line in Jaffa Cake clones that come in all sorts of flavours, there was a lime on that's good.

Grabbed some Nutella Biscuits from yankeebundles earlier in the week. They come in a pringles style tube and are very moreish. I've never been one to like the palm oil aspect of Nutella though so I'll avoid a re-order.

They do a variety box, I recommend that. Mmmmmm biscuits......lol

Doesn't have the dark chocolate gingers in so immediately loses pointss!

You tried the brownie flavour ones, they are pretty decent!

The birds in the garden's favourite biscuit

JS reformulated their fig-rolls, now horrible, garden birds are not interested, chopped up into bird-size pieces, of course,
could be a utube millionaire formula.

Benefit? It will cost more, though I am happy that others pay more tax for this monstrosity.

I got a taste for Garibaldi a few months ago after many years. Shortbread is also a go to biscuit for me.

My newest favourite biscuit!

It's OK.. too much biscuit to chocolate, and the biscuit was a bit too crumbly, chocolate was nice though and there is the crispy snap.

I think I prefer these though.

I love this biscuit.

I love those too. I get Aldi's own version and they're excellent. Just as good I'd say.

My two boys have always loved a.jammy Dodger, however lately I've found them my moreish fav to the point I've just ate 4 with my coffee, that's ontop of the 4 yesterday. Have to pick up another pack on the way home for tomorrow!

The white chocolate raspberry ones from Aldi are superior to all other biscuits other than maybe the triple chocolate covered cookies also at Aldi.
