mjmooney Posted January 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2013 Jaffa cakes, ginger nuts, chocolate hobnobs, toffee pops, jammy dodgers, fig rolls, choc digestives. All good. I concur with all of the above, provided that the choc digestives are plain chocolate and not milk. And I've never had toffee pops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 The first rule of any chocolate laden biscuit is that it has to be plain. No exceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 29, 2013 Consulting the typeface of all knowledge in things biscuit - A Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down - revealed the following (from 2004): ToffyPops Friday 30 Jul 2004 Whilst in Ireland the other week we couldn't help but notice the abundance of Burton's ToffyPops a biscuit which is becoming ever more scarce in its native UK. The first packet I obtained for review purposes lasted about thirty five seconds once I had given the 'Its OK I've taken the picture' signal. This left me with a solitary Toffypop, a bisected one at that, with which to carry out the review. I could have bluffed my way through it, but such is the rigour of the NCOTAASD review process I had no option but to go out and buy a second pack. Its easy to see why the first batch took such a battering, as there are a mere ten Toffypops (name trademarked by the way) to a pack. At 50mm across 10 mm deep the Toffypop seems quite dainty. of course any small biscuit that is also carrying around 32% toffee and 13% Milk chocolate, is going to have a great deal of trouble fending for itself. The biscuit base is somewhat like a sponge flan case in cross section, although the biscuit itself probably has more in-common with its stable mate the Jammie Dodger. However, the base seemed to be slightly more crunchy than its jammy sibling. I measured the toffee well at approximately 3mm deep which certainly allows for enough toffee for it to make its presence known. It would probably be more accurate to classify the toffee as soft caramel and it readily forms dangly stringy bits as you bite lumps out of your biscuit. The pack shows with some degree of artistic license bisected toffypops with toffee oozing from them. The biscuits afford just enough toffee to the eater for us to overlook this rather glamourised artificial reality. The ingredients list condensed milk which no doubt is used to make the toffee, much in the way its is used in bannoffee pie, or as we have learnt various Latin American biscuits (see your reviews section). The other interesting fact to be gleaned from the pack is where Toffypops have been hiding apart from Irish supermarkets. Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Spain all seem to be receiving shipments of these tasty little biscuits, whilst in the UK their habitat seems to be mostly confined to the Spar, although I haven't looked in a Coop for them. Much the same sort of thing happened to the range of Neanderthal man at the end of the last ice age 13,000 years ago. Of course they didn't all end up in the local Spar as it hadn't been invented, nor could they get cheap flights to Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 How is a non-knitted jumper made? With great difficulty. No, jumpers that are designed to look overtly 'knitted' classify as knitted jumpers whereas jumpers with a little more subtlety in the threading are merely jumpers. I think. I'm no fashionista. And Toffepops are fantastic but intensely moreish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
