Are Hobnobs Milk the same as plain Hobnobs?

No. Plain Hobnobs are uncoated oat biscuits; this version has a milk chocolate layer on one side, which makes it sweeter and richer.

Are they suitable for vegetarians?

McVitie's makes Hobnobs without meat or fish ingredients, and the milk version is generally listed as suitable for vegetarians. Check the pack's allergen and dietary labels if you avoid certain ingredients.

Do they contain nuts?

The recipe centers on rolled oats and whole wheat, but the pack carries allergen advice about possible nut traces from the factory. Read the label if you have a nut allergy.

How should I store them?

Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct heat, since the chocolate coating softens in warmth. Reseal the inner wrapper after opening to keep the biscuits crisp.

Can I dunk them in hot drinks?

Yes. The dense oat biscuit holds together in tea or coffee better than lighter cookies, though a long soak will still soften it.

Are they a good choice for a cheese board or dessert?

They work as a sweet biscuit alongside cheese or crumbled over ice cream, but the milk chocolate makes them sweeter than a plain oatcake.

Our take on the MCVITIES BISCUIT HOBNOB MILK

McVitie's Hobnobs Milk are round oat-and-whole-wheat biscuits with a milk chocolate coating on one side. The plain biscuit is rough, oaty and crunchy, and the chocolate adds a creamy sweetness. They sit between a digestive and a flapjack in texture, sturdier and more rustic than a chocolate-chip cookie. Fans of British biscuits like them for tea and coffee dunking; anyone expecting a soft, chewy cookie will find them hard and crumbly.
