[Review] McVities Digestives Cherry Bakewell

Earlier this year, McVities launched an iconic range for their chocolate covered digestive biscuits,
In the range was Marmalade on Toast, Cherry Bakewell and Strawberries and Cream.
Morrisons was the first to stock them at GBP1.50 per pack which was later reduced to GBP1.00.

Evidently, the Cherry Bakewell is a popular pick!!!

Now Sainsburys have the full range as well as the new McVities slices which I was keen to try but sadly they didn't have it which was why I ended up getting the digestives.

As soon as I got home, I opened it to try.
There was an artificial cherry smell but it wasn't bad.
As for the taste, the cherry taste wasn't strong when the artificial cherry smell lingered in your mouth when you ate it.
Overall, not bad and I expect the marmalade one to just taste like chocolate orange.

Other tempting digestives in the range:

[Review] McVites Jaffa Cakes 5 Pineapple Cake Bar

I like pineapple so when I heard about the McVites Jaffa Cakes 5 Pineapple Cake Bars I had to get them.

Shortly after that, Pineapple Jaffa Cakes were also launched.

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with these pineapple cake bars because the pineapple smell was rather artificial and it was so strong that you could smell it through the wrapper without even opening it.
Although I did not like the Pineapple cake bars, I am still going to try the Pineapple Jaffa Cakes because the strawberry jaffa cakes were nice.

[Review] McVities Jamaican Ginger Cake

As well as Lyons syrup cake, the Jamaican ginger cake is another one of my favourites which I occasionally have but not yet posted about.
The size was slightly bigger than its regular size which deters you from buying it because it takes longer to finish it off.

It is nice if you have it occasionally but too much can get a bit sickly if you are not that fond of ginger.

Anyway, had it with custard which made it better.

[Review] McVitie's The Original Lyle's Golden Syrup Cake

McVitie's The Original Lyle's Golden Syrup Cake has been around for years along with the popular Jamaican ginger cake.
I love the way the cake is dense, sticky and sweet just like the toffee pudding so it goes so damn good with custard.
Unfortunately, I deleted the picture with custard but it was so delicious that I would buy it again as part of my grocery when I need a sweet fix.

[McVitie's] Milk Chocolate Digestive Caramels 267g

As well as the digestive nibbles, McVitie's also have caramel digestive biscuits!!

These caramels are so damn delicious!!

I found them chewy on a moderate warm day so they didn't need refrigeration.

The best thing is that they don't taste too sweet and the chewy caramel brings out the tasty wheat flavour of the digestives.
At the back of the biscuits, they have the words McVitie's Caramels at the back.

The only complaint was that all the biscuits are stuck together so when you try taking them out, they always snap in half.
I have experimented in putting them in the fridge and freezer.
The fridge makes them even more chewier but the freezer makes the caramel extremely brittle like caramelized sugar.

McVities mini mallows

These mini mallows by McVitie's are delicious, there is a biscuit base at the bottom topped with whipped marshmallow and covered in chocolate.

Office workers set to get a lift from Jaffa Cake elevator

Tasty ... an edible lift comprising of 1,325 lick-able Jaffa Cakes

Published: 12th April 2012

THE world’s first lickable lift has been installed in an office block in a bid to elevate the mood of city workers.

The edible lift has 1,325 Jaffa Cakes stuck on its walls to provide staff with a tasteful alternative to a traditional glass elevator.
McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes took inspiration from the lift featured in the Willy Wonka film to come up with the design.
The unique advertising campaign has taken food technicians and artists four weeks to develop.
It has been installed at communications company Engine’s offices in Great Portland Street, London.
McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes chief Philippa Tilley said: “We are all about bringing a bit more fun to life.
“This was the perfect way to get a little joy straight to stressed-out office workers.”
