What is your favourite and why?

Me, I like the simplicty of a Dark Chocolate Digestive and can quite happliy munch half a pack without realising that I am doing it. Mrs Toe has to hide them from me.

McVities are better than Sainsbury's, however I'll happily eat either or.

    Dark chocholate Hob Nobs, preferably kept in the fridge. Probably more addictive than crack, and I've just had 12 packets delivered to work.

    This.

    Dunked in hot coffee....

    I sneer at those who think Milk chocolate hob nobs are anything but the work of Satan.

    It's a tough decision between jammy dodgers and fruit shortcake. Could easily polish a packet of both off in a day if I don't stop myself.

    I will however quite happily munch 2 or 3 at a time of any biscuit, especially the perennial favorites choccy digestives (including asda cheapest of the cheap ones), rich tea and ginger nuts.

    ^^^^ what SteppenHerring said. I've heard it said that you can eat just one jaffa cake at a time, but that's not my experience...

    Sainsbury's used to do digestives with currants in them - insanely addictive.

    Now I can't find them, so it's back to fig rolls and garibaldis.

    My fav biscuit has to be a Tunnocks Caramel Log.

    For those that said Jaffa Cakes, are they really a biscuit ?

    Custard Creams are the mother f*ckers of biscuits.

    They are just so good. Hobnob hard, they can be dunked into a boiling hot tea, and that creamy centre oh man. But best of all, someone actually went to the effort to but an actual pattern and design onto the biscuit so you know you're eat class.

    Don't eat them which is a shame because I know they're nice they just do it for me, same with cakes and puddings.

    My mate's chat up line was that he was a designer and he designed the pattern for the custard cream ! It worked so many times :wink:

    My choice by the way, it has to be chocolate hob nobs, any other biscuit just doesn't do it.

    What kind of sick mofo posts a biscuit poll without 1) Stem Ginger, 2) the Fruit Shrewsbury and 3) the Garibaldi (aka squashed fly)?

    This poll is the devils poll and I play no further part in it.........

    This man knows what's up!!

    Milk chocolate malted milks are my kryptonite.....I have been known to eat a whole pack in one sitting but I can just about control myself to make them last 2 to 3 days if I'm being particularly good....

    Homemade tollhouse cookies or homemade oatmeal cookies for me. If it's gotta be store-bought, then ginger nuts
