Quirks Choc and Hazelnut

Recently we were picking out chocolate biscuits in Poundland (another cheap plug, can you believe we don't get anything for these?) and stumbled across the new McVities "Quirks". Quirks currently come in 2 variations these, Choc and Hazelnut in a red packet and Double Choc which come in a blue packet.

Inside the red outer packet you get an inner packet split into 2 sections with 7 biscuits in each section (sadly the picture below was taken after I'd eaten more than half a packet, oops!)

The bisuits are a golden brown colour in an almost "dome" like shape which is around 1/4 of an inch at it's thickest point and a little over an inch in diameter. On the outside they just look like biscuits but as soon as you bite into the them your struck by the thin chocolate spread which fills the centre of the biscuit.

The outside of the biscuit has, as you may expect a hazelnut-like flavour, not a strong flavour but a noticeable one. As you chew the biscuit the chocolate spread and the hazelnut flavour sort of meld together. It's how I would imagine a cheap hazelnut-choclate spread would taste if you threw some crumbly biscuit into it. Sort of acceptable but nothing that's really amazing amazing or special.


Despite being a McVities product they lack the sort of quality we expect from McVities and despite the pack being relatively big I can't help but feel disappointed with these overall. They just don't stand out from the crowd and annoyingly they seem to go soft really quickly (within a night) which means you need to rush to eat the packet.
