Biscuits…new variety by happypat

Biscuits…new variety

I drove into Blackpool today for a recki on car parks. I need one near to the Opera House in early May. My usual one has a large building on it now.
I knew where the one I wanted was but negotiating all the one way streets was a challenge.
Got there eventually & it’s ideal…..even better the pay machine was out of order!

Popped into Marks & Spencer’s & saw these new biscuits. Well I love custard creams so expected these to be awesome.
Well not so….a disappointment I thought. I couldn’t taste the custard cream….all chocolate.
I bought three packs to take with me on holiday for expat family….. I expect they will still enjoy them!
Well I think the clue was on the packet, more chocolate than biscuit! Sorry you were disappointed!

They should never try and fix something that not broke..New flavors are often a disappointment. But as you say I'm sure the family would enjoy them.
Good to make a plan for your night out..

I tried these and absolutely hated them! I have a sweet tooth but found these WAY too sweet. Never buying them again! Sticking with proper custard creams.

lol. I love custard. Never heard of these but your photo led me down a rabbit hole of googles custard biscuit recipes and a rhubarb custard one sounds like I need to compare its taste to my grandma’s rhubarb custard pie.

You will have to declare those biscuits at customs but should be OK to bring in. I think I would love these! I'll have to see if I can buy them here!

Oh I thought they looked delightful.... custard creams are a blast from the past in my life and adding chocolate.... I'll keep my eyes open in M&S.

A pity they weren’t as good as you’d hoped.
