McVities Jaffa Cakes Triple Pack 30 366g

I had never heard of them before, but thanx to @JamieCampbellBower they sounded delicious so I ordered some & OMG they are just as good as he said. I love 'em! Very happy with this purchase & will order again.

I saw on the History Channel a segment "Welcome to the Factory" where each segment features a Tour of another Factory in Britain showing how different UK Products are manufactured. A month or so ago, a segment on McVities Jaffa Cakes Desert Treats. These are a huge seller throughout Europe as well as in England. A semi-soft delicious Cookie with a Jaffa Orange (real, not imitation flavored US style) topped with a delicious coating of Premium Chocolate. For those unaware, combining Orange with Chocolate is absolutely insanely delicious . Chocolate Covered Orange Peel Candies, Droste Orange and Chocolate Candy Apple pre-sliced in Wedges wrapped in foil, etc. They arrived in perfect condition from the UK, packed in Cellophane 10 to a pac, a Best Use by Date 2 months forward and near impossible to locate here in US other than perhaps a Speciality British Products Store. Like Mickey told his Brother regarding Life Cereal, "Try It, You`ll Like It". You will very likely be re-ordering, I assure you. Updated Review After contacting Seller the immediately responded and informed me that I incorrectly read the Best Use By Date. 03 08 24 was actually Aug 03 34 (not) Mar 08, 24! My apologies. I was credited the cost of the cakes an will now request to be re-billed.

These were awful. Our house are Jaffa cake experts and these were really bad. They were very small, all dried out and stuck together. You couldn’t separate them without wrecking them. Kids were not happy. Box said they were in date but they have either been stored or shipped badly. Threw them in the bin! Waste of money!

Got these for a family member from Scotland and it sure hit the spot for her. A tasty trip down memory lane and you can’t go wrong with chocolate and orange.

Honestly, I am tied between 4 and 5 stars. I love it and just like it at the same time. The chocolate does not have much taste at all, I found it pretty hard to notice. It took a whole cake for me to get a better grasp of its flavor to a tiny degree, but it definitely leaves that dark chocolate after/during taste without the flavor. The Cake itself is not terrible, but its texture some people may not like. It is like holding a dish washing sponge and squeezing it, but imagine it more bread textured and without soap. The orange filling is the most noticeable part, it is a strong tangy flavor that really sets the flavor for the whole cake. It is like a gummy bear is mixed with jello in consistency. I say this because it is a little more solid than jello, but brakes apart really easy still unlike a gummy. You will mainly notice the orange, with a tiny bit of dark chocolate mixed in. You may notice a slight bit of a white cake taste as well. Interesting for sure, and probably something I will get regularly. At least worth a try for most.

I've been a Jaffa Cake virgin for 22 years before I ordered these. Since I live in the US, we don't have these or anything similar in the same price range. We have overpriced knock-offs for those who own three BMW's and a yacht and need their chocolate covered orange jelly cakes to have some more luxury, but nothing for people like me, who appreciate good value and AMAZING food. I ordered this and waited for what felt like forever (actually did get here kinda quick but time slows down when you're waiting for food). I had felt like my whole life had built up to this. I checked the mail with more excitement than I ever had. This is what I've been needing to fill all the holes in my soul. When they arrived, I didn't know what to do with myself. I found myself treating them like a delicacy, letting the flavors linger in my mouth for several minutes at a time. But there were 36. And I wasn't familiar with the shelf life. I felt the clock tick by every second I wasn't eating one. They gave me this feeling of euphoria, this feeling that even though I live in an infinitely large universe and I am pathetically weak and small, that things are okay and this was all I needed. I felt a comfort and happiness I had never had. This was truly the best time of my life. I started to give them to co-workers who had never heard of them. I started to preach about them like a crazed man giving a sermon on a street corner. I felt that they gave me a purpose, and when people loved them, I felt acceptance. Now that they're gone, I can't wake up. I can't sleep. I can't live the way I did. I've never felt so alone. All of my friends have left me. I haven't showered in weeks. I haven't felt like there's any hope. But there is. The Jaffa Cakes are only a click away...

These are delicious! I picked up another brand of Jaffa Cakes at the local grocery store (not naming names, but it comes in an orange box) to try them out, along with some other UK snacks and candies. The Jaffa Cakes were my favorite and I decided I needed to have them in my life more often. I was comparing pricing and noticed the triple pack here was a really good price, so I asked a British friend which brand was best, and McVitie's was his answer. I took a chance on these, and I'm glad I did. It took 7 business days for the package to arrive (I'm in central NY state), which is far sooner than the expected delivery date. Speaking of dates, when I looked at the Best Before date, my brain procesed 05 09 15 as May, when it's really September, so if you think you've had some old cakes delivered, the month is the middle number, not the first one. I agree with my friend that McVitie's are better than the orange box brand. The cake is softer and the chocolate is more pronounced. The orange box kind has a slightly thicker cake, but it isn't as soft, and a thicker orange layer. I like the larger chocolate to orange ratio in McVitie's better, and with the softer cake, the whole experience is more satisfying. I'm going to (try to) pace myself, but even so, I can't see these two boxes of 36 each lasting long.

Tastes good but clear quality control problems. All cookies stuck together and crumbling upon opening.

description non conforme!

Prodotto di buona qualità, anche perché è l'originale. Forse il cioccolato di copertura non è il massimo dato che in Italia siamo abituati a molto meglio. Vale la pena provarlo.

The best dessert from UK!! I should have ordered more. I used to eat Jaffa Cakes when I was living in Britain. Since I am now in Seoul Korea there seemed to be no way to get Jaffa cakes but now I can order online like this although they dont directly ship this to Korea. How great is that?! It’s time to make some tea~

Great gift for a friend from the UK

good quality, good price
