McVities Custard Creams (300g x 12)

Product Information

These custard creams are the most delicious, “melt in your mouth” cookie you’ll probably ever have! Most of us know that we need to cut down on our free sugar intake. Free sugar includes all sugar which is added to anything we eat or drink, and may appear on the ingredients list as many different names such as: glucose, sucrose, maltose, honey, molasses, maple syrup, glucose syrup, hydrolyzed starch, corn syrup, agave nectar, coconut palm sugar, or treacle.

Flour ( Wheat Flour, Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Sugar, Vegetable Oil (Palm), Whey Solids ( Milk), Glucose Syrup, Wheat Starch, Raising Agents (Ammonium Bicarbonate, Sodium Bicarbonate), Salt, Natural Flavouring, Colour (Mixed Carotenes) Whether you go wild for a wafer or are a firm digestive devotee, we all have a favourite. To dunk or not to dunk... You’ll love the buttery, custard flavor, and the crispiness of the biscuit. However, just wait until it melts in your mouth!

The teatime classic

Until doing this test, I didn't realise McVities had a version of these biscuits available in Asda (I didn't notice them anywhere else). They were really well made and had a really nice level of biscuit to cream ratio. The only downside is the price point. For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned. I like to match up evenly sized biscuits (the rolled ones) before starting to sandwich them together. People will get into heated arguments about which type of biscuit (cookie) or beverage is better–it’s rather funny, actually, and it even happens on anotherBritish Facebook group I belong to which has nothing to do with food!

Form into rounds, about the size of a walnut. Place on a lined baking tray, leaving room to expand. Press with a fork into the top of each round, twice: once horizontally, and once vertically, to look like a cross-hatch.As you can see, they also include honey, syrups and also fruit juice. However, naturally-occurring fructose in fruit, and lactose in milk, are not the types of sugar we need to cut down on, and some biscuits do contain small amounts of dried fruit. Free sugar is linked to tooth decay, obesity and can lead to an increased risk of Type 2 diabetes. Read more about how to cut down on sugar. Where could you make savings on sugar? Whether living with diabetes or not, we can all enjoy the odd biscuit as an occasional treat as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
