I particularly like that these cookies come in a box with six packs of two cookies. It means they keep fresh even when the outer box is open. It also means they are easy to share. I also like that the outer pack is quite small and compact and would fit in a day bag for an outing. They don't crumble as easy as some cookies, so they might be suitable for smaller children to eat in the car, but like any biscuit there is bound to be a few crumbs. I have tried the white chocolate version too, but much prefer this "chocochip" flavor. I also like that they are not expensive, although their price has gone up in the last couple of years.

As above, I prefer the "chocochip" to the white chocolate chip version, but the reason both cookies don't crumble easily is because they are very coarse. The chocolate melts when dipped in tea, which I like, but the biscuit doesn't become soft like you expect a dunked biscuit to become. I prefer cookies to be a bit softer overall, not just when dipped in hot tea. They leave a tangy after taste and kind of aggravate the throat because of their coarseness. Although the size is convenient in one way, in my family of six, a packet of twelve biscuits is gone in a flash! All that said, I will buy them again.
