    I could only find per biscuit info! I think people usually decide to have X biscuits with their tea anyway, so its not completely useless info.
    I looked up the weights knowing there would be a significant difference. Others would be similar weights, like digestive vs hob nobs.

    Some people do find "puffed up" versions of foodstuffs do curb their eating though. Rich teas might qualify as this to some, not to me though. e.g. like you say people might eat x biscuits or have "a bar", which could be a wispa, aero, malteasters. They are expanded with air so appear more substantial than they are.

    How does the humble Jaffa Cake - a staple of my diet - compare in the 'not so bad as far as biscuits go' stakes??
    Jaffa cakes are an example of puffed up biscuits/cakes.

    Must try something like this. High % chocolate is not likely to be scoffed down as easily too. I melted high % chocolate in with coconut oil, it just melts on the tongue. I tried it with pure cocoa powder and it was a bit too harsh.

    Fig rolls are the best biscuit on the market so who cares how healthy they are,we are all going to die at some stage anyway so why not enjoy a fig roll or 10?

    They are a great snack on a long cycle. They are the treat at the top of the hill I give myself.

    Why's that? Moreso than other biscuits?
