BOTW #5: Fox's Chocolate Chip Crunch Creams

Name: Chocolate Chip Crunch Creams
Producer: Fox’s Biscuits

So if last week’s BOTW was “purty,” this week’s is just plain adorable. As you can see below, the biscuit of this week is a chocolate chip sandwich cookie and what makes it adorable is its size. I tried to take one of those awesome archaeological-style photos of the biscuit next to something familiar to everyone for scale purposes (you know, like when they have meter sticks next to trenches? No? Okay. Fair play to you.) but I didn’t really have anything around me to help…I have coins, but they’re Euro coins so that doesn’t help. My cell phone is also larger than my phone back in the states, so that was a no-go as well. Suffice to say, each biscuit is about the size of a Nilla Wafer. I think? Yeah.

So anyways. Chocolate Chip Crunch Creams are of the frequently found sandwich variety of biscuit and feature two chocolate chip cookies layered with a chocolate cream. Not quite as decadent as Club Milk but considerably fancier than HobNobs, the CCCC (c’mon…it’s a long name and I’m lazy!) is a bit spendier than I would normally invest in (they were on sale in the supermarket this week) but a fun and different treat.

The cookies on the outside are incredibly crunchy (the Brits and the Irish are not quite so fond of the American trend of soft cake-y cookies) and have a distinct oaty flavor studded with mini chunks of chocolate. The overall impression from the cookie is one of a healthier, not-quite-as-sweet version of a full-size chocolate chip cookie.



The chocolate cream filling is really the star of this biscuit. With the consistency of Oreo filling (firm but creamy) and a flavor like when you eat pure Nesquik powder (without the milk) the majority of the chocolate in the CCCC comes from the cream. The combination of crunchy, oaty, and relatively unsweetened cookie and rich chocolate cream is perfect.



As I said, Fox’s biscuits run a bit higher in the price range than I’m normally willing to shell out for a small tube of bikkies but my awesome shopping skills snagged me a deal this week and I am glad I had a chance to give these babies a whirl. I like that they are not overly sweet and of course their relatively small size is just so cute as to be irresistible. The company’s commercials, however, leave something to be desired…but don’t take my word for it! Check out this vaguely creepy New York panda mobster (seriously. His name is Vinnie. And he mispronounces “biscuits”. The English are strange.) shilling the company’s wares…
