MCVITIES MILK CHOCOLATE HOB NOBS

The year was 1992 and I was a young lad doing the backpacking thing through Europe. First stop was London, where my brother was living at the time. As my friend and I were provisioning up to continue our journey across the pond, my brother put a package of McVitie's Hobnobs in my pack. I asked, "what are those?" The reply came swift and sure: "the best packaged cookies you will ever have."32 years later that still holds true. Hobnobs are just the perfect blend of somewhat thick, oaty goodness in a cookie slathered with a covering of creamy milk chocolate. Or darker chocolate if you prefer, although I am partial to the milk. The cookie itself has a little bit of give to it and yet also a satisfying crunch. I don't know what it is about this combination, but I could truly eat an entire package of them at once--they are that good. Better yet for the hungry traveler, they are somewhat substantial. So while you could down them all, you probably won't. There really is no comparison in the U.S. that I have found to these cookies and quite honestly, I don't want to find one. Hobnobs are perfect just the way they are. Buy them. Now. You won't regret it.

I ordered twice because while they taste good, the first package was damaged. The second order was worse than the first. Save your money. Until they design a package that can protect the product in transit, you'll end up with a bag of melted crumbs.

It’s cookies from the UK. They are good.

The McVities Milk Chocolate Hobnobs are very tasty.Showing two packages with the description was misleading. I was expecting two, but after going back and scrolling down I see that it says "1 piece." Also I would encourage whoever is packing them for shipping to use a small box rather than a padded envelope. The envelope doesn't protect them from crushing and it's hard to pick up all those little crumbs while I'm drinking my tea.

Simply good chocolate biscuits, exactly the same as I remember, quality simply cannot be beaten. Delicious with coffee or tea

The chocolate had melted between the oat cookies so they would not break apart. The cookies were solidly melted into multiple deckered cookies. They could not be broken apart so they were more like huge macaroons. They still tasted good but I wanted just the thin chocolate topped cookies.

Item as described. Packaging adequate.

I love these cookies! Remind me of when I lived back in Ireland. But they’re pricy. it looks like they’ll send two pouches based on the picture but don’t be fooled it’s only ONE! And Nearly quadruple the price of a single package. MORE IMPORTANTLY THEY ARE STALE. THEYRE ABOUT TO EXPIRE. THEYRE SOFT AND NOT CRISP AS EXPECTED AND CRUMBLY IMPLYING POOR PACKAGING. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SUPPLIER.
