Title: Chcocolate Mint biscuits
Post by: on February 13, 2005, 12:24:29 pm

I remember these totally scrumptious biscuits that were about the size of a jaffa cake and had a lovely cool minty cream top and covered in chcolate.  I think they were made by Burton's.  Can anyone remember what they were called and can you still get them?

I scraped the mint off with my top teeth and was left with the ordinary biscuit.

Mint Viscounts were nice, I remember always having them in my school lunch box. Weren't they like Yo-Yos?

I don't know. I don't really go down that chocolate aisle very much, I seem to stick to the standard sized bars. But they were great! Used to bite the toffee bit off the top first!

That is a great slogan!   I'd approach Burton's with that one.  Said with a funny accent it's got more mileage than a Morris Minor.

I used to love United biscuit bars. They had a crunchy honeycomb bit inside them.

I would love to take the credit for it, but it's from a Viscount advert from the nineties when a beautiful woman rejects a Prince's marriage proposal because she wants a Viscount instead - of course he doesn't know it's a biscuit!
