Our take on the McVitie's Original Hobnobs 255g/10.6 oz.

McVitie's Original Hobnobs are British oat biscuits: roughly 29% rolled oats and 29% wholemeal wheat flour, baked to a rough, crunchy texture. They are the plain original version of the Hobnobs line, distinct from the chocolate-covered ones, and their oaty, slightly nutty flavor makes them a common tea-time biscuit. Compared with a plain digestive, they are rougher and crunchier and taste more strongly of oats; compared with a chocolate Hobnob, they are lighter and less sweet. Buyers rate them highly, and the usual complaint is that a pack does not last long.

Best forTea and coffee dunkersOat biscuit fansSharing at home or in the officeAnyone who prefers plain biscuits to chocolate-covered ones
Pros
  • High oat and wholemeal content gives a hearty, grainy bite
  • Firm, crunchy texture that holds up to dunking
  • Oaty, lightly nutty flavor that is not overly sweet
  • Plain original version, so no chocolate coating to melt
  • Made in England to the long-standing McVitie's recipe
Cons
  • Crumbly, so they leave crumbs and break in transit
  • Easy to eat several at once; the pack goes fast
  • Oat and wheat, so not suitable for gluten-free diets
  • Plain version lacks the chocolate some shoppers expect from Hobnobs
