Kit Kat Give yourself a orange or a cookies & cream break

A lot of people will know the ad slogan "Kit Kat give yourself a break". Well that  used to refer only to a traditional kit kat a wafer with a great coating of chocolate. Back Then things were simple grab one unwrap it and bit down on that delicouse choclate and taste the wafer as it dissintegrated in your mouth.
Now it as become more complicated. Personally I have only so far managed to get ahold of a couple of the variations cookies and cream and chocolate orange.
 So far so good. First cookies and cream the top is white and creamy the rest however delivers its promise of cookies and how it delivers. if you think that sounds good you are right. It's only the begining...
I grew up with orange and chocolate frequently combine cadbury choclate with seville orange terrys chocolate orange. So this is a combination I was brought up loving now I have a new way to enjoy these two tastes together. Kitkat orange hits your taste buds early on with orange flavour but if thats not enough for you the choclate flavour is there as well making you want to break another kit kat then another and (wait I have diabetes I better stop). Seriously KitKat give your taste buds a treat.

Mc Vities digestives dark chocolate

Growing up where I did McVities Milk Chocolate digestive were as common as Oreo's are where I am now and like Oreo's they now come in more than one model. That is to say that they now have and maybe they did then (I didn't need to look once the tasty treat that is milk chocolate digestives had been found) a dark and milk chocolate variety.
Mc Vities digestives dark chocolate were a World market markdown so obviously I had to give them a try.
The Dark chocolate   is not as sweet and creamy but then it wouldn't be. It does have that wonderful choclatey digestive taste that sets these biscuits apart from so many inferior copies. If you have never had a digestive i recomend doing it right and haveing a McVities chocolate digestive milk or dark you choose!

Here's a little about digestives as quoted in wikipedia ;


In 1839, digestives were first developed in the United Kingdom by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion.[2] Digestives featured in advertisementsfor the Berkshire based biscuit company Huntley & Palmers in 1876, with a recipe being given in Cassell's "New Universal Cookery Book" of 1894.[7] At the time, it was asserted grain millers knew only of bran andendosperm.[8] After 10% of the whole grain's coarser outer-bran coat was removed, and because the innermost 70% of pure endosperm was reserved for other uses, brown meal, representing only 20% of the whole grain, remained, consisting of about 15% fine bran and 85% white flour.[9]By 1912 it was more widely known that brown meal included the germ, which lent a characteristic sweetness.[10]
In 1889, John Montgomerie of Scotland filed a U.S. patent application, which was granted in 1890. This patent asserted a prior patent existed in England dated 1886. The U.S. patent, titled "Making Malted Bread", included instructions for the manufacture of digestive biscuits. Montgomerie claimed this saccharification process would make "nourishing food for people of weak digestion ..."[11]
Despite rumours that it is illegal for them to be sold under their usual name in the United States,[12] they are, in fact, widely available in imported food sections of grocery stores and by mail order.[13][14] In the US, buying digestive biscuits may require a visit to an international market, or they may be ordered from international retailers that have an Internet presence.[15]

Ingredients[edit]

The typical digestive biscuit contains coarse brown wheat flour (which gives it its distinctive texture and flavour),sugar, malt extract, vegetable oilwholemealraising agents (usually sodium bicarbonatetartaric acid and malic acid) and salt.[16] Dried wheyoatmeal, cultured skimmed milk and/or emulsifiers such as DATEM may also be added in some varieties.
A digestive biscuit averages around 70 calories, although this sometimes varies according to the factors involved in its production.
