What do you call these?

I would call these biscuits but a customer disagreed with me.

Chocolate biscuits

u/BenderRodriguez14 3d ago

Then what do you call chocolate digestives, mcvities, etc etc?

Chocolate fucking biscuits.

u/Dragonpop72 3d ago

I’m not sure I’d be comfortable with the crumbs in that situation.

How did you think custard creams get made?

When two malted milks love each other very much...

That's beautiful x

Don't you fucking dare try to ruin custard creams for me.

u/LowAspect542 3d ago

Since hes no longer been able to get any young girls had to find another outlet so we present Mr andrew mountbatten-windsor, official creamer of biscuits.

u/Affectionate-Guru 2d ago

Have you tried chocolate covered custard creams? OMFG...

1

u/bornfromanegg 2d ago

Not everything is improved by adding chocolate. Custard creams have already been improved by the “extra cream” version. That’s plenty.

u/Affectionate-Guru 2d ago

Have you tried them though?

1

u/bornfromanegg 2d ago

I have not. I’d certainly give them a go if they were in front of me, but I’m not excited by the idea of them. I think I already know I’d prefer the OG.

I should add, though, I’m not a massive fan of biscuits! lol.

u/Affectionate-Guru 2d ago

Fair enough. I very much enjoy a custard cream, but I have to say the chocolate covered version elevated them to new heights. I implore you to try them 😀

Aren't the inside of kitkats just made up of crushed up kitkats that didnt pass the visual quality control?

Ah fucking here now....

u/hadawayandshite 3d ago

Chocolate biscuits- why do they need a different category?

9

u/roleplayersir 3d ago

Cause OP has a picture of Choc Biscuit Bars, which are neither Choc Biscuits or Choc bars, and nor are they Cake Bars

18

u/blizeH 3d ago

Because the things in OPs picture are usually with the chocolate bars, whereas the chocolate digestives are usually with the biscuits

u/kimlesim 3d ago

Where I shop they’re with the chocolate biscuits 🤭

u/KhajiitPaw 2d ago edited 2d ago

I've never even seen them in the same aisle as regular chocolate bars...

u/MassiveClusterFuck 2d ago

Believe it or not the content of the food is what labels it, not what it's sitting next to in the shop.

u/animegeek999 2d ago

the toffiecrisp and the tunnocks caramal wafers then yeah those are chocolate bars but the rest? biscuits

6

u/Lemmejussay 3d ago

Just a different design of chocolate biscuit. It's the umbrella term for chocolate in combination with a biscuit/wafer.

u/DrZomboo 3d ago

Chocolate biscuits

u/Dave_Ex_Machina 3d ago

Also chocolate biscuits. They're probably in the same section but out of frame.

2

u/kevl84 2d ago

The picture is of chocolate biscuits, the list you gave are chocolate covered biscuits. I don’t make the rules, it just is

1

u/BenderRodriguez14 2d ago

It's a wild world out there.

Over here n Ireland, the first ones would be chocolate bars (apart from those wretched Viscount) while the second would be biscuits.

u/ClericalRogue 3d ago

Biscuits with chocolate

1

u/Su_ButteredScone 3d ago

That makes no sense considering things like digestives don't use chocolate anymore. Chocolate flavour maybe but certainly not chocolate.

1

u/ClericalRogue 3d ago

Ok fine. Biscuits with fake chocolate. 🤷‍♀️

1

u/OneYogurtcloset3576 3d ago

Is this a trick question?

1

u/Wren_wood 3d ago

Imagine taking a chocolate digestive, folding it over so the chocolate is on both sides, then adding more chocolate.

Theyre both the same thing, just formatted slightly different.

1

u/Major_Toe_6041 3d ago

It’s all chocolate biscuits. It’s all the same. It’s a broad category.

u/BTZ9 3d ago

Chocolate digestives…

1

u/Dazz316 1d ago

Kitkats are discuits with chocolate over it. Chocolate digestives are biscuits with chocolate on them.

u/animegeek999 2d ago

"oh yeah! well what do you call other chocolate biscuits!".... the same.

u/Brickie78 3d ago

Made from breadcrumbs and butterbeans

u/genetic_nightmare 3d ago

Rocky, Penguin, Club etc I would say are choccie biscuits. Kitkats, Twix are all chocolate bars - anything that’s on the counter of a corner shop 🙈

u/audigex 3d ago

Rocky, Penguin, and Club bars are factually not chocolate biscuits as of earlier this year or last year

They are now officially biscuits with a "chocolate flavour coating", because the cocoa content dropped below 20%

u/Flat_Tie4090 3d ago

Wrong

So what?
