We've been asked by the team at McVitie's to find 50 testers to try their new Breakfast Biscuits. McVities say "Today more and more consumers are too busy, or start their commute too early, to enjoy breakfast at home; consequently the market for out of home breakfast solutions is fast-growing - and McVitie's Breakfast Biscuits provide the perfect answer. Using our passion for baking, we've created a range of unique recipes, specially designed for breakfast. We've taken a handful of hearty porridge oats and added a range of ingredients like fruit and honey to create sustaining and delicious breakfast biscuits".
The Breakfast Biscuits are baked until "perfectly golden, to enjoy as a part of a deliciously satisfying breakfast". They are also portion-wrapped in handy packets of four biscuits six packs per box. And available in Oats & Honey, Red Berries and Apple, Sultana & Cinnamon flavours.
RRP: £2.29 for a 6 pack carton
We need to find 50 UK based testers for this - we are especially looking for MNers who are on the look out for something new for breakfast and who like the sound of these new bars.
If you are selected to take part you'll be sent 3 packs - one of each variety and asked to try them over a few days. We'd then need you to add feedback to a thread on Mumsnet
Everyone who is selected as a tester and adds feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will get a £250 voucher.
If you'd like to take part please add your details here
Thanks and good luck

Thank goodness I found this.
I received a huge box of red berry biscuits this morning and thought there had been some mistake. Plenty for the family to test, and I'll be taking some into work for my team to try, nurses sure know their biscuits.

Neighbour took mine in while at work. Cringing at what they must have thought. DH thinks it's great!

Both the kids love them so far. I'm finding them too dry unless with a cup of tea though. Too dry to eat on the run IMO but the DS and DD will happily eat them without a drink.

Thank goodness. I did a double take as the delivery driver drop off almost 200 biscuits. Then thought I'd better 'fess up. So glad I am not alone. DC love them. Will dish a few boxes out for people to try as I've got so many.
I saw someone eating some of these this morning & was dying to ask if she was a MNter but thought it would sound too weird if she wasn't
Well ds1 likes them. He asked me this morning when i was going to send the message to the company to tell them that the biscuits are nice . That is rather a lot of biscuits for a small boy to get through!
I was looking forward to the other flavlours too, shame they managed to send me the ones I was least likely to like!

I was really looking forward to the oats and honey flavour too. I'm handing mine out to anyone who will take one. I do enjoy biscuits but its quite daunting having so many.
Does everyone have red berries? If anyone has different I'd be happy to swap some? <hopeful emoticon>
Sorry it's not 3 flavours...and glad no one is too grumpy about the misunderstanding .
Well I haven't tried them yet but DH and son aren't too impressed. And there's a lot of biscuits....

Sorry about what?
Free biscuits? Don't be, I mean if you are really, really sorry you could send me another box. [greedy and hopeful]
You are sorry about sending me 192 biscuits? Really, don't be
Sorry about the this guys - we will start the feedback thread next week
Have given a box to some workers chopping down some trees in exchange for the biscuits I have got loads of logs for my fire. And they all say that they are really tasty to have as a snack in their pocket as they work!
I've also tried them with the kids and we all like them despite them looking like they have been kicked around the warehouse!

DP likes them he's eaten half a box already 
I quite like them too but they are very sweet
Indith, try them dunked in a cup of tea- I did this and somehow manage to limit myself to only 2 biscuits. They are v dry on their own.
