“Why change a winning recipe???”

written by PJK99 on 28/10/2015

Why change a winning recipe... I always look forward to buying a pack of McVities Café Noir when I visit the UK..
Yesterday I purchased a pack, after I finally found them, due to the new packaging. when I opened the box I expected to see two small packs of the same size as I was used to..but no.. we have a bag of mini biscuits..
My first thought was..well they will be no good for dunking..
My second thought was..oh the biscuit looks different and the icing is thinner..
My third thought on tasting them was..hmmm.. they've changed the recipe..
My fourth and final thought was.. well, I won't be buying these again..
Initially I thought the packaging was to save them getting broken which often was the case.. But wasn't sure if I agreed with using more packaging.. This i have found does not add any extra protection, as you now get lots of smaller broken biscuits..
The recipe is drier and not as tasty, the icing thinner and not as coffee rich..
The box takes up more space in the cupboard, and the flip top seal will not keep them fresh..
All in all, a bad decision by the powers that be at McVities...
