Fox's Mint Choc Crunch Creams - Limited Edition Collection

Thanks again to @amywoodger who Tweeted me about these new Fox's Crunch Creams Mint. It's part of a "Limited Edition Collection" which includes various ice cream inspired flavours; Raspberry Ripple Party Rings, Neapolitan Jam & Cream biscuits, and Viennese Clotted Cream flavour. 

The biscuits themselves are described as chocolate flavoured but I have to admit I couldn't actually taste much chocolate there. They have that golden sugary crunch that is common across the Fox's Crunch Cream range. Their darker colouring and crunchy texture actually reminded me a bit of the ginger crunch creams. 

There is a thick layer of the inner mint cream which has tiny chocolate chips (so small I'm not sure they actually count as chips) within. The mint flavour here is very strong, sweet at first but with quite a refreshing punch at the end. The little chocolate chips (shards? shavings? dust?) provide the only real chocolate flavour but it makes a minuscule impact - these cookies are all about the mint. If you like mint flavoured biscuits, chocolates or desserts, then these are definitely worth a try.

Review: Fox's Hazelnut Caffè Slices

I've been enjoying Fox's range of Caffè biscuits, which were developed as the ideal accompaniment to a cup of coffee. There are three types of biscuit in the range Snaps, Thins and Slices, each in a choice of two flavours, inspired by popular coffee syrup flavours; Caramel or Hazelnut. 

The Hazelnut Caffè Slices are shortcake biscuits covered in a thick layer of hazelnut flavoured milk chocolate on one side. Fox's are a brand well known for their delicious chocolate biscuits so I had high hopes for these.

Chocolate and hazelnut is a classic combination and it works a charm in these Hazelnut Caffè Slices, especially when combined with the slightly buttery and vanillary flavour of the shortcake biscuit underneath. Each biscuit is very chunky and indulgent, a good thing since there are only six biscuits in a pack. Overall, these are indeed a great biscuit for a cup of coffee, but are equally satisfying with a cup of tea too.
