I have realised I am in a biscuit no-mans land, having eaten, but not loved many a biscuit in my time. I’m now in search of ‘the one’, the lifetime partner biscuit that only death or removal from manufacture will see us parted. I do love a proper highland shortbread, but at the same time they are just a little too plain. Chocolate covered/filled/chips is good (but please don’t recommend hobnobs, I do not have the spare time available to remove those from my teeth). Any kind of fruit filling/coating could also be interesting. In particular, these biscuits are required to go with my last tea before bed at night, and also with a coffee or two during the week when I’m working from home. So
A) AIBU to ask, and
B) what do you recommend?

Shortbread - although it is like crack to me so I no longer eat it. I ate a whole tin in one sitting once 🙈🙈

Aldi Specially Selected stem ginger biscuits. I enjoy a couple with my tea in the evenings. A tasty combination.

Do they sell Jacobs Chocolate Kimberly biscuits in the UK ?
They are a round sandwich type biscuit. The centre is sugar coated marshmallow and the top and bottom are ginger infused biscuit circles covered in chocolate.

Always preferred mikado

They are quite delicious.
Though I remember them as having more chocolate on them when I was a child. Smile

I’ve already contributed but I remembered about bonne maman sables. I brought back some raspberry ones from France and they were amazing. A quick google leads me to believe that you can only get the chocolate ones here, I will be trying them soon!

M&S used to do a dark chocolate and cherry Jaffa cake

That's basically the biscuit/cake (?) of my filthiest dreams.

Cakemonger, M&S used to do a dark chocolate and cherry Jaffa cake. It was amazing, and the two packets didn't last long. I check every now and again to see if they have brought them back out.

I no longer buy M&S extremely chocolatey biscuits, jaffa cakes or cadbury fingers because I can't stop eating any of them once I start

Asda luxury Salted caramel cookies that have chocolate on one side - bloody lovely and filling as well!
Fig rolls - although it has to be the proper ones with curved corners and no pattern on top
Dark Mint chocolate kit kats
M & S Pistachio and Almond cookies - although they have changed the recipe and they don't taste as good as they did
