Oh my I spotted these today in Tesco and when I saw they were only 31 calories per biscuit I thought I'd try them. They come in 3 flavours Milk, Plain, and Cappuccino the Cappuccino is just so nice. I allow myself 2 Rich Tea biscuits in the evening with a cup of tea and these biscuits are actually less calories its the only treat I allow myself.
They are crispy and chocolatey and very satisfying.

tanith That means you can have 3 with your cuppa grin

I saw them too and bought a pack thinking they would last for ages. WRONG! they lasted one day, I ate them by the handful blush. I don't normally like Oreos but tried their thins too and loved them. I don't normally eat biscuits so shall not be buying any of them again. biscuit

Oh! - only 2 Rich Tea biscuits tanith? I allow myself 4 with my afternoon cuppa. I will look out for these new McVitie Digestive Thins and then I can have 4 of them instead (have I got that right??) confused

Yes DanniRae yes you are correct. grannypiper and there was me thinking I was being very very good but if you're giving me permission? wink
shysal I am cutting down/out sugar as just been diagnosed over the border for Type 2 Diabetes and am determined to reverse that hence me sticking to just 2 in the evenings. So far its really working I've lost a stone in the last 6 wks and my BP has dropped somewhat so I intend to keep it up, I have to go back for retesting in just over a month so fingers crossed I am now losing my very sweet tooth and this is the new me forever. grin
