McVities Jaffa Cakes Triple Pack 30 366g

These are the real deal. My approximation is good too. Uses only three things. Vanilla wafers, Orange marmalade, and hearseys dark chocolate bars. (1) cook marmalade down by about 1/4 then cool overnight so it becomes a thick jello texture. roll into slabs and cut to 1/2 inch by maybe 1/4 inch tinck squares or little cut rounds, I use a carrot cutter, Put the glob on the flat side of the vanilla wafer, warm up the hearshy's bars over boiling water in a bowl or pot then using a small spoon drop enough chocolate on the top of the orange stuff to cover the bottom of the product Try not to go over the edge. Put on rack or keep on the rack they were on and let cool. That's it. Not the real deal but not bad either, and you can use different chocolate and jelly flavour to spice things up. I like apple myself but we have used all citrus, most stone fruits and berries. And dark dark to white chocolate. The nice thing is that with the vanilla wafer you don't have to bake anything. They won't be like these though These remind me of England.

So good, so great. As seen on Britain's tv show How Do they Make That

This package arrived with one package of the cakes torn to pieces, and all three boxes expired a full FOUR MONTHS before they were shipped to me. And yet, I cannot get a refund for having been sent an expired food product.

I saw on the History Channel a segment "Welcome to the Factory" where each segment features a Tour of another Factory in Britain showing how different UK Products are manufactured. A month or so ago, a segment on McVities Jaffa Cakes Desert Treats. These are a huge seller throughout Europe as well as in England. A semi-soft delicious Cookie with a Jaffa Orange (real, not imitation flavored US style) topped with a delicious coating of Premium Chocolate. For those unaware, combining Orange with Chocolate is absolutely insanely delicious . Chocolate Covered Orange Peel Candies, Droste Orange and Chocolate Candy Apple pre-sliced in Wedges wrapped in foil, etc. They arrived in perfect condition from the UK, packed in Cellophane 10 to a pac, a Best Use by Date 2 months forward and near impossible to locate here in US other than perhaps a Speciality British Products Store. Like Mickey told his Brother regarding Life Cereal, "Try It, You`ll Like It". You will very likely be re-ordering, I assure you.Updated ReviewAfter contacting Seller the immediately responded and informed me that I incorrectly read the Best Use By Date. 03 08 24 was actually Aug 03 34 (not) Mar 08, 24! My apologies. I was credited the cost of the cakes an will now request to be re-billed.

Personally I’m not crazy about the taste of chocolate and orange. However, I am probably in the minority. I know they are very popular in Britain.

I am Dave! Yognaught. Been wanting to try these for years.

The pack is smaller than I remember

I love Jaffa cakes and they aren't available in Colorado. Aldi carries a copycat that is very good, but there's no Aldi in Colorado either. So with great trepidation I ordered these that came all the way from England, concerned that they would not be fresh or well packaged, but happily they were in excellent condition and as delicious as I remembered them.
