If you were only allowed one type of biscuit FOREVER … which would you choose?

I haven’t seen a Mumsnet biscuit for a while - remember those? Anyway, they don’t count because they are virtual. And they look like jammy dodgers. Biscuit

And I don’t want any bun (or biscuit) fights about the status of the jaffa. Choose it if you must you heathen.

My vote is for the chocolate digestive. So satisfying. I just ate three with my afternoon coffee. 😋

Those absolutely gorgeous custard creams covered in chocolate by M&S. Delish.

I used to love Cafe Noir biscuits, but they've been gone a long time.

Now I'd probably choose a dark chocolate digestive or a lemon shortbread.

Mini Cheddars.

I can easily live without sweet biscuits, but I love those cheesy teeny bites of deliciousness.

Jammy dodgers. Love at first bite. Had my first one at a friends house at 7 (my mum was a bit of a no sugar nutter) and I’ve never looked back. After that my Nan would sneak me them at hers. I’ll think about them on my deathbed for sure.

Can I choose M&S rice cakes with some sort of yoghurt on top and freeze dried strawberry pieces? They're not that healthy, promise - but they are delicious and that's what I'd choose.

Plain chocolate digestives kept in the freezer.
DH would have jaffa cakes.
Ds1 likes bourbons
Ds2 isn't a biscuit eater really.

@WowIlikereallyhateyou I was going to say those! I love the almond biscuits from there too but the pistachio and almond are fantastic.
I also really like their buttery biscuits with raisins.

"... or a lemon shortbread".

That takes me back to when I was foolish enough to take my car into the Audi dealership for servicing/MOT/pampering. If the bill was high you could bet your life that the shortbread-on-a-plate being rushed along was for me. Ugh.

Thankfully I've seen the light now/found a local trustworthy garage.

Used to be Choco Leibniz but they’ve changed lately and now taste vile/stale.

Now it’s these delicious dreams. I stock up when they’re in deals/Nectar price etc.

This was one of my standard opening questions on dating apps. The correct answer is clearly a chocolate bourbon - exciting enough to eat by itself, can be dunked, works at all times of day…

I assumed the man who said “Maryland cookie” was stuck in primary school dreamland 😂.

Party Rings.

Crawford’s Iced Shorties (before they went extinct), likewise Happy Face biscuits (although they were rereleased last year), but should they also go the way of the dodo;

Jam & Creams.

NasiDagang · 25/08/2024 17:07

Jammie Dodgers, creamy and sweet.

@ProvincialLady2024 I found some Cafe Noir biscuits in Lidl a couple of months ago, and bought some. Unfortunately they were a temporary thing! Everyone loved them.

WelkomInEuropaJonguh · 25/08/2024 17:10

Café Noir are also available on Amazon. An absolutely delicious blast from the past!

Hobnob, plain, no chocolate. Realise I am a minority amongst hobnobbers here!

Double chocolate Tim-Tams.

Plain digestive - not McVities but those small ones they do under budget branding that are crumblier and a better dunking size.

AgnesX · 25/08/2024 17:13

Digestives. Can't go wrong with one.
