YUM-EEEJul 26, 2007

Man these cookies rock! Great dense, crumbly texture with a sliver of dark chocolate on top. A perfect light midnight snack without making you feel like a total pig! AND they settlte your stomach for a better night's sleep. Probably great with tea or coffee if you eat sweets early in the day.

Exemplar chocolate biscuitAug 20, 2009
By Steve Benner
"Stonegnome"
Plain chocolate digestives are the exemplar of the British chocolate biscuit; McVitie were the inventors (in 1839 if you care about such historical facts) of this lovely Scottish (not English, please note!) confection, so these offered here can be regarded as definitive of their class. Whilst available in a milk chocolate variety, the plain (dark) chocolate version is by far to be preferred. It is a solid, satisfying mix of wholewheat cookie and bitter chocolate coating of the finest quality. Purists will, naturally, wish to stick to the plain wholemeal digestive, both those biscuit- or chocolate-lovers wishing to spoil themselves (and their waistline) will opt for these every time.
American buyers may wish to remember that Digestive biscuits are officially classed in biscuit grading circles as the second most boring biscuit in the world (after Rich Tea and ahead of Hobnobs) so may take a little bit of getting used to, if you're not familiar with British biscuits. But I guarantee that after your second, you'll be addicted. And then you'll wonder where the rest of the pack went.

Best Cookie Ever MadeAug 19, 2009
By A Maryland Reader
My family discovered this amazing cookie while in England 40 years ago. It is hands down the BEST COOKIE EVER MADE. Harder to find in the US but whenever I have shared these cookies with a neophyte, just one bite and their eyes light up and they rave about it. The texture is sublime and that layer of chocolate is perfectly proportioned with the with the quantity of biscuit (the English word for cookie). The milk chocolate variety is sweeter but my favorite has always been the plain chocolate variety. Also, this is not a junk food cookie. In a pinch a few McVities make a decent meal replacement. But when eating as a snack, be careful because they are filling. And they go down well with a satisfying quantity of very cold milk.
No joke - this isn't just a cookie, it is the BEST COOKIE EVER MADE!

McVitie's Original DigestivesJan 18, 2009
By Sandra E. Bush
If more Americans realized how delicious these biscuits are, they'd need a factory in the US. So good they are my English husband's cookie of choice.
