McVitie's Digestive Wheat Biscuits, 8.8 Ounce (Pack of 6)

OK, even though these biscuits come from the same country that brought us Marmite, and the word "digestive" may not seem very appealing, if you like graham crackers, you should love these. The "digestive" description just refers to the health and nutritional benefits of the type of whole wheat flour (AKA graham flour) used in the ingredients. (In the US, graham crackers were also originally created as a "healthy treat," though Americans were clever enough to market them without any reference to digestive benefits in the name). I grew up eating these as an American transplant in England, where they were just "McVities bickies," and great for dunking in milk, tea or coffee. Their mild, nutty flavor comes from the whole wheat flour, and they taste similar to graham crackers, but slightly more dense and a bit more rich. What I use them for most often now is when making crumb pie crusts. The result is a rich, flavorful crumb crust that doesn't require any added sugar and holds together well when cutting and serving. But on the tongue, it has a more tender texture than the traditional graham cracker crust. It just needs a bit of melted butter and a brief, 10-15 minute pre-bake, and you have a delicious pie crust for either cold or baked fillings. And, of course, they still make great dunkers and, in my opinion, much better s'mores.

Arrived early in good condition. Will definitely buy again.

Fresh and crispy. Remember to put them in Tupperware or bags so the humidity doesn’t change the crisp

Just love these "Digestives," nothin' like 'em and no longer have to wait for a trip to England to enjoy them again. They are made with that European wheat flour with a texture like no other, great combination of fibers and sugars to make a perfect blend to drink alongside or dip into tea. This is a great price too as you will want to eat one after the other every time you open the box. Gave them a four because I have had to return them in the past for either being too close to the expiration date or broken due to poor packing when shipping out.

I bought mcvities from Amazon multiple times. These are hand down the best I received from them. They are fresh whole and taste amazing. My only regret is that they are the small size 8.8 oz instead of the 14.
