As a lover of Hobnobs, chocolate and flapjacks, I couldn’t
resist buying these McVitie’s Hobnobs: Flapjacks (milk choc) when I spotted
them on offer. The appetising photo on the front of the eye-catching pale blue
and orange wrapper helped too!
The individually wrapped bars were made by United Biscuits and contained no
artificial flavours or colours. They contained 41% ‘rolled oats baked with
Hobnob biscuit pieces’ (25%), 12% golden syrup, 9% butter, and were ‘topped
with milk chocolate’ (8%). Apparently they were ‘even more hobnobbly’ but I
wasn’t sure if this was compared to the standard biscuits or a previous version
of this Flapjack recipe!
The flapjacks were a nice golden colour but did look a
little dry – I would have liked to see a thicker layer of chocolate too.
However, they still looked delicious, and they also had a lovely deep and
buttery flapjack scent.
Biting into a slightly stiff, chewy and bitty bar, I loved
the buttery and oaty flavour which had an ever-present juicy, syrupy undertone.
It was certainly drier than homemade flapjacks, too, but it was still extremely
pleasant.
Unfortunately, the chocolate didn’t really add anything, but
then this product was tasty enough by itself – money well spent!
