<\/p>\nBISCUIT fans have had mixed reviews over a re-released McVities treat – with some slamming it as "disappointing". <\/p>\n
But others were devastated to find the biccy had already raced off the shelves as it returned with a new recipe after being discontinued almost 20 years ago. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
McVities white chocolate digestive was first released as a limited edition sweet back in 2005.<\/p>\n
Then, earlier this year a new version of it came out again – with Brits rushing to get their hands on one. <\/p>\n
The\u00a0biscuit\u00a0has the classic digestive base and is covered with a layer of white chocolate – and costs less than \u00a32 for 15. <\/p>\n
On tonight's episode of Channel 4's Inside McVities at Christmas, the bicky brand opened up about getting the digestives into stores. <\/p>\n
It was revealed they had staff analysing Brits' reactions on social media – which proved polarising. <\/p>\n Some people weren't fans – including one woman who said the chocolate-to-biscuit ratio was well off. <\/p>\n She said in a TikTok video: "That's so disappointing. <\/p>\n "I'm literally getting the tiniest bit of white chocolate, all I'm tasting is digestive." <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n One man added that the biscuit wasn't the "strongest of flavours" – before going on to say it doesn't compare to milk chocolate or dark chocolate.<\/p>\n But others found love at first bite. <\/p>\n One fan said: "Well it looks nice – and by it tastes nice. <\/p>\n "I will give these a nine out of 10 – and I give nothing a 10." <\/p>\n Another woman went on to say: "First off without a dippy and these were amazing.<\/p>\n "Then obviously I had to have a little dippy in my tea and they were even better." <\/p>\n But, the popularity saw bicky lovers struggling to find the newly released treat. <\/p>\n One woman filmed the empty shelves as she arrives at them and said: "Oh no, they're all gone."<\/p>\n Meanwhile, another wrote on social media: "Why are there no white chocolate digestives?" <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/shopper-shopping-cart-christmas-sale-866353156.jpg\")
