Default Damn these biscuits are so addictive

I just can trust myself to open a packet of these bad boys with a cup of Tea as the whole packet gets destroyed, it doesn't help when Sainsburys are selling them as BOGOF, I now have four packets in my draw at work, actually make that three as I'm just finishing off the first pack

Magnificent for dunking

I'm currently rekindling an addiction to Mr Kiplings Viennese Whirls, only when they're on offer mind, as Andy doesn't like paying full price as you know.

Aye, must admit to being partial to a ginger biscuit too. But my absolute favourite and I could very easily eat a whole packet. All butter shortbread. mm mm mm

God I hate you. I stopped snacking on these evil biscuits in mid February.

Lost 7kgs without lifting a finger

....But I'm sooo hungry, I could probably eat three packets of fox's Viennese Melts, choccy cookies or Jammie Dodgers right now AND still woof down full roast dinner with desert.

After a good few years, I recently bought a packet with 10 fingers of all butter shortbread. I ate two of them with a cup of tea, and I was packed. Very nice indeed. Scottish ones are the best. I sent some Scottish ones to my French connections lately. They are mad about them, there.

Where can I get a packet of viennese rolls? I think they are Viennese. I know I can get them at Tesco in assorted packs, but I don't want the rest of the minging biscuits. I just want those rolls with no fillings in abundance. They are not much thicker than cigarettes, but longer in length. They taste loverrly! Lidl might have them. I'll try there tomorrow.

I must be the only one that dislikes Viennese Whirls – find them claggy. Dunking wise it has to be Lotus Caramelised Biscuits. Made in Belgium (still only about 60p a back) there must be around 24 in a pack and I have been known to dunk a full cup of tea until there is no tea left to dunk them in. If you have never tried them then buy a pack:

Not as good for dunking but I used to have an addiction to Cadburys Chocolate Fingers with Caramel but haven’t seen them for years. They seem to do every flavour but caramel these days.

Lol, I'd love to be able to enjoy a biscuit with my tea but I just get fat the moment I allow myself any sort of treats like biscuits, sweets, or crisps.

Me either. Crumbly, powdery, nasty. The Jammie Dodger is the choice of kings

Bourbons are up there too . . . and dark choc digestives.

Must admit I have seen them on the same shelf but I'm not so keen on chocolate biscuits for dunking. They are more sickly = I can't eat as many

Angry What a Farkin Liberty

I bought a packet of Viennese Chocolate Melts the other day and when I got home and opened them they looked smaller and certainly had less choccy in them.

They are now 120g per pack, checked my drawer this morning at work and I had a packet in there from a while back, 150g!!!! 20% less biscuit but still the same price

The thieving gits, I'd rather they put the price up than produce these skinny imposters
