While I've long thought the milk chocolate variety tastes like Kit Kats in cookie form, dark chocolate McVities will always be my OTP. Deliciously smooth and creamy, it was the white chocolate version of Dairy Milk and definitely a favourite in the Heroes tin. Either way, the pattern is less about looks than about roughing up the chocolate to re-create the intriguing surface texture of a real McVitie's biscuit, with lots of nooks and crannies for your tongue to explore. Digestives are the same, you can dip them as many times as you want and your biscuit will stay intact.

Gone way too soon Snaps were a Pringle shaped chocolate crisp that came in flavours such as classic milk chocolate, mint, orange, and Hazlenut and were always brought out at Christmas and family get-togethers. Of course, any size cutter will do, but the greater the deviation, the more you'll have to rely on your own intuition when you're baking. You could be in with the chance of winning a year's supply of free ice cream so you never have to wait too long for your next ice cream fix. But it’s not all bad news, as although the Dream is forever gone (RIP) Cadbury have just launched a brand new white chocolate range “Cadbury White†featuring a chocolate bar and giant chocolate buttons. Obviously, Pringles haven’t gone anywhere (and we will riot if they do), but Mini Pringles were an invention that made packed lunches so much more fun.

For the uninitiated, McVities are a type of digestive biscuit, a pseudo-healthy cookie/cracker hybrid made with a portion of whole grains, which makes them a close cousin to the American graham cracker. In addition, I'd need some leavening agents to mimic the commercial blend of sodium bicarbonate, malic acid, and ammonium bicarbonate used in real McVities. After rolling, brush away the excess flour, and cut the dough in 2 3/4–inch rounds; upon shrinking slightly in the oven, the biscuits will reach the exact diameter of the real deal.

While those freakishly perfect polka dots look super professional, there's no need to hand-poke all the holes if you don't happen to have a docking tool. Arrange the cutouts on a parchment-lined half sheet pan, and bake at 350°F (177°C) until they're firm and dry. Even if you keep a close eye on them in the oven to prevent burning, that thinness will make them too crisp, more like a chip than a cookie. Galaxy Truffle was objectively the best chocolate in the Celebrations tin, so when it was discontinued back in 2011 it was a national outrage (and rightly so).Buttermilk moistens the eggless dough, while providing a tangy flavor and lactose for browning, along with enough acidity to activate the baking soda. Sure, it could be used to shamelessly smother the biscuits, but if you'd like to preserve the cookie-to-chocolate ratio of this classic treat, it's better to save that chocolate for reuse according to this guide. This is what real McVities use as well, but it isn't listed on the box because it bakes out in the end. For a brief time back in 2004, Monster Munch strayed away from their standard savoury Pickled Onion, Flamin’ Hot, and Roast Beef flavours and ditched the regular salty recipe for sugar instead. A mix of whole wheat and all-purpose flour creates the perfect blend of flavor, crunch, and tenderness.

Dollop a bit of chocolate over a few cookies, about a half tablespoon or quarter ounce each (or maybe a touch more, because chocolate), and spread it into an even layer.McVities is the original creator of the Digestive, but with so many variations available in supermarkets across the UK, it can be hard to know which one to choose. I even tried the new white chocolate digestive - I'm not usually a massive fan of white chocolate as I find it can be too sweet sometimes. It's a challenge familiar to most vegan bakers, but, since real McVities are made with skim milk powder anyway, there's no shame in choosing butter instead. Sainsbury's were the only version of the digestive that I tried that didn't stack up to the McVities original. Spread into an even layer over biscuit and, as chocolate starts to thicken, bounce the tines of a fork across the surface to create a wavy pattern.
