Tesco Biscuit Barrel Selection 700g

Delicious and fresh. The packaging on the outside is one big piece and then inside the biscuits (cookies) are individually wrapped in 4 sleeves of the 4 types in the variety pack. This wouldn't be an issue for most, but I was hoping to split them up as stocking stuffers so that didn't work. Everyone in my family loved them though.

I've seldom been so pleased with an online purchase. I received a plentiful assortment of little cookies, each one delightful And so many. Filled a capacious cookie jar and had enough for a supplemental covered dish. A few in two or three varieties were crumbled or cracked, but not enough to mar the experience. I have a personal belief that calories drop out of cracked or crumbled cookies, so it's not a loss.

Fresh but not very flavorful. Expected the taste to be better from Tesco, oddly there was not much difference between the Bourbon and Shortbread biscuits/cookies. The Custard sandwich cookies were the best of the four types in the package. They are fine for dipping in coffee or tea. Shipped well. I would buy from this vendor again.

The cookies were packed in a box for shipping which was great, but as others mentioned, some cookies were damaged due to the soft pack of the product package. Other than that, the cookies are good. Uploading a photo of the back of the package so that others can see the ingredients and nutritional information clearly.

Biscuits were crushed so bad you couldn’t eat them or even serve them. The ones that were intact were delicious. $13.00 was too much money for something I could only enjoy part of

Every time I read a British novel I get a craving for tea and proper “biscuits”. This last novel mentioned it many times. So I decided to try this brand.We in the States would call these cookies. The flavor is milder, less sweet than the usual cookie, but have a nice flavor assortment. They go well with tea, coffee, milk, hot chocolate. And yes, some of the cookies do arrive crumbled. About 6. I didn’t mind since thy were just for me. The manufacturer could improve the packaging by adding some cardboard, or the shipper could mark it fragile.

First, the cookies are not packaged in a box, nor is there any kind of tray, so at least some of them will probably be broken, but mine weren't too bad.I tried these out of curiosity and wasn't really sure what to expect. Have to say I found them underwhelming. First, this is not Tesco's fault, but I had always assumed when I heard talk of "Bourbon" biscuits that they would be flavored with Bourbon. Nope. They are essentially Oreo's with chocolate cream (but less sweet). (I also recently discovered that brandy snaps have no brandy!) The "custard" cream are basically golden Oreos. The other two are essentially crumbly crackers, they are really not sweet at all--not something I would want to dunk in tea or coffee. The "malted milk" have absolutely no flavor of malted milk. So if you're already familiar with these types of biscuits, and you like them, I guess they're fine. If you're just curious... you're really not missing much, I wouldn't bother.

I think Amazon finally stepped up it's packing game because these were meticulously packed (seriously, I've never seen a more perfectly bubble wrapped item) not a single broken biscuit in sight! They were also fresh and tasty, just like I remember them. I do wish they were slightly cheaper, especially considering they're just Tesco biscuits. Still, I'm chuffed I can get them here in the States and I'll be buying them again when I run out!
