I was particularly taken with the lure of porridge oats, oats and more oats (it's mentioned 4 times on the front of the box). Main ingredient.....wheat! Yet again the consumer is being hoodwinked by the marketing. These are just plain ol' biscuits with just over 1/3 oats - hobnobs have more than that! <br />I tried all 3 and the flavours were pleasant but subdued and I thought the texture was quite dry and powdery. For now I will stick to belVita, at least they are mostly honest about what they offer and I find them crunchier and more nutty which I prefer....even though they are made by Kraft who have some dodgy practices to say the least.Shwingbasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08513994305587979844noreply@blogger.com
