Note the Jaffa Cakes. Disqualified for being, well, cakes.
The Cookie
This held together much better than expected. YMMV. Taste of cookie too
spicey for dunking appreciation, could try a plainer cookie. No residue
or crumbs in tea.
4.5/10
The Fig Roll
Initall doubts over biscuitiness...
...releaved. However the very soft nature of outer biscuit was too
mushy next to the highly chewy centre. Warning over enthusiastic
dunking may result in residue. Recomended for non-dunkage biscuit
activity.

The Custard Cream
"Just what I was expecting"
6/10
Plain Hobnobs
The tea level in the cup was visibly reduced following the dunking of
only 2 biscuits! And the hobnobs were still slightly crunchy. Truely an
amazing feat of buscuit engineering. The Hobnobs were enhanced by the
tea drinking in a way no ther biscuit can match. Obviously the Hobnobs
left no traces in the cup.
8/10
Chocolate Digestives
We thought these to be the only real contender to the Hobnob crown.
Though the chocolate topping is an added treat, there was to much risk
of residue from the chocolate on the cup and in the beverage. The
biscuit lost most of its crunch in the dunked region meaning, for now,
the crown is safe in the Hobnobs hands.
7.5/10
Caramel Digestive
In the interests of science we must inform you that at this point the
taste test suspended due to cold tea!
New cup produced:
The test continues at a higher temperature. The biscuits themselves, a
late entry into the trials, having seen them on the shelf and made an
impulse purchase. Immediatly we noticed chocolate in the tea! Our NEW
cup of tea no less! It was felt among the judges that the chocolate
melted far to fast, before proper absorbtion could take place. Though
the caramel, a nice addition did not affect this. Good for a change,
not for everyday use. There was a definite chew factor which some
judges did not apprechiate.
5/10
Chocolate Hobnobs
Before actual tasting it was noted that the time for a Hobnob to absorb
sufficient tea is well in excess of 'the chocolate melting time'. It
was first noted that the chocolate could add an unacceptable level of
sweetness, but we then realised that having had a ridiculous amount of
biscuits ANYTHING may be to sweet right now.
