Fox's Biscuits has rolled out a new limited-edition flavour that's causing quite a stir – pistachio cream-filled biscuits. As biscuit enthusiasts, we couldn't resist putting this nutty newcomer to the test.
The First Impression
Upon opening the packet, we were greeted with the distinctive aroma of roasted pistachios. The biscuits themselves maintain Fox's signature round shape with a delicate pattern, though the green-tinted filling immediately sets them apart from traditional varieties.
Taste Test
The first bite reveals:
- A crisp, buttery biscuit base
- A smooth pistachio-flavoured cream filling
- A subtle sweetness that doesn't overpower the nutty flavour
While the pistachio flavour is noticeable, it's milder than expected – more of a gentle whisper than a bold declaration. The texture combination works well, with the cream filling providing a pleasant contrast to the crunchy biscuit.
How Does It Compare?
Compared to other nut-flavoured biscuits on the market, Fox's pistachio offering holds its own. It's less sweet than some competitors, which allows the pistachio flavour to shine through. However, those expecting an intense pistachio experience might be slightly disappointed.
Final Verdict
These biscuits make for a pleasant change from the usual chocolate or vanilla options. They're perfect with a cup of tea when you want something different but not too adventurous. While they might not become a permanent fixture in everyone's biscuit tin, they're certainly worth trying while they're available.
Available now in major UK supermarkets, priced around £1.50 for a 150g pack.
