To ask if anyone has tried the cherry bakewell digestives?

I’m in 2 minds whether to buy them or not.

I’m not in the slightest bit tempted by the marmalade on toast option.

Are the cherry bakewell ones nice?

coop had none so we tried the strawberries and cream flavour

dp loved theme thought they were just ok, nothing special

Lima45 · 22/05/2020 21:44

I've had them. They're not bad but more like cherry Bakewell flapjacks than digestives

Imnotamagician · 22/05/2020 21:44

They're not too bad, it does have a cherry taste but rather artificial but that's not stopped me buying more packets.

Emsmomma · 22/05/2020 21:45

I love cherry bakewell and anything flavoured that way but genuinely really didn't like these

TeddyIsaHe · 22/05/2020 21:45

What! What! Where do I get these from??

SheepSocks · 22/05/2020 21:46

I have stopped buying them because I inhale the whole packet in one sitting.

PestymcPestFace · 22/05/2020 21:47

WTF did these come from, not available in the sticks

Parmavioletmum · 22/05/2020 21:47

Nope. Wasn't a fan and I love cherry bakewell!

Wishforsnow · 22/05/2020 21:48

Wow, this is news to me. Need to try these

WiddlinDiddlin · 22/05/2020 21:48

Not keen, very chemically cherry taste.

YABU not to try the marmalade on toast flavour, I was very skeptical but they are REALLY good!

RedHelenB · 22/05/2020 21:49

Love cherry bakewell but the digestive were a bit dry. The caramel ones are better.

Cherrypi · 22/05/2020 21:50

Marmalade ones are great

ATowelAndAPotato · 22/05/2020 21:52

I haven’t but my DH has and he loved them. Available in our local co-op.

puppymouse · 22/05/2020 21:52

We had some in our tin today and I said to DH "have these got fucking lavender in or something?"

He set me straight. I prefer the marmalade ones.

Pansypath · 22/05/2020 22:00

I thought they would be delicious but they are rank. It is the first time I have had an open pack of biscuits in my cupboard for two weeks without eating them all.

mamaduckbone · 22/05/2020 22:01

No, but they sound bloody lovely

adelaya · 22/05/2020 22:04

They’re nasty nearly a whole packet here that no one wants

MorganKitten · 22/05/2020 22:06

I would but then I have a stash of cherry bakewell vodka

cataline · 22/05/2020 22:08

@Lima45 They are the actual flapjack ones.
You can also get regular digestives in the same flavours the flapjacks come in though!

I quite like the cherry bakewell digestives but the marmalade on toast ones are great. The strawberries and cream ones didn't appeal at all so I haven't tried those!

WhiteWriting · 22/05/2020 22:09

don't bother with them - get some cherry bakewell Naked bars. Life changing!

Lozza70 · 22/05/2020 22:09

Marmalade toast ones are da bomb!

tentative3 · 22/05/2020 22:19

Echoing all previous approval of marmalade on toast, they're great.

JazzyTetra · 22/05/2020 22:20

Yup very nice 😍

TippledPink · 22/05/2020 22:24

They weren't nice, we threw the pack away before we finished them! And I am a biscuit eater and love cherry bakewell- so disappointing.

winewolfhowls · 22/05/2020 22:41

They were OK but I had expected bits of dried cherry and their wasn't
