 Easter Biscuit




 Hello and Happy Easter this is my first post of 2014 so Happy New Year as well.This biscuit was bought for me and my cousins  by my
 Granny in Selkirk.For this one I do not know the price or the name of the shop at the current time so instead of the price its the jam's turn in the spotlight!



Rating

Slidiness - 7/10 - Only a smidge on the slidey side

Topping - 10/10 -  Eggcelent idea, (scuse the pun)  its new and creative

Taste - 8/10 -Good but quite sweet thanks to the icing

Icing - 9/10 - Nice and crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside lost 1 point owing to its sweetness

Jam - 6/10-Strawberry flavour but was very bland

TOTAL-40

Okay

Price - 5/10 My Mum paid for it and it was £1

Icing - 5/10 The icing was quite thin

Topping - 10/10 Chewy - just how I like it!

Overall Score - 29/50.

M&S Empire Biscuit



My Granny bought these for me, there were four in a packet (yummy!) and I've eaten one so far. They were £2.15 for the packet. Bargain!

Scores are

Slidiness - 5

Taste - 6

Price - 7

Icing -  4   (but there was lots of it!)

Topping - Cherry - 2

So the total score for this biscuit is  24!




Sorry,  to keep you waiting as I have been very busy in the last month. 

I did however eat the Doyles empire biscuit and it was nice.

I have decided to rate the empire biscuits with these scores - 

  • Slidiness of biscuit
  • Taste
  • Price
  • Icing
  • Type of topping (cheery, sweet etc)
Each of these are scored out of 10. Therefore the ultimate empire biscuit would get 50 points!
