I do hope the ratio of sponge to 'smashing jaffa orangey bit' isn't disproportionate. These things are important.

[bingybongy]

Interesting fact the orangey bit is apricot jam.

My wife texted me from the shop this morning claiming there are raspberry "jaffa cakes".

Of course there aren't, they may look like jaffa cakes, but they WILL NOT be Jaffa Cakes.

A guy from work goes to europe often and brings back various things that are like Jaffa cakes but with different flavours inside or even different type of chocolate on top.

What's the point? Jaffa Cakes are bite sized as it is.

Incidentally, my wife was talking about how you eat Jaffa Cakes... One woman she knows licks off the chocolate, eats the sponge and saves the orange bit. Then, once she's finished the pack, eats all the orange bits together.

Jaffa Cakes have been st for probably a decade or more. 'Back in the day' the orange bit filled most of the top of the sponge and then a nice thick layer of chocoloate on top but if you buy them now the orange bit is a tiny blob in the middle and the sponge is much smaller than it used to be as well.

Pick up some aldi jaffa cakes.

At least 50% more jaffa than the offical crappy ones these days.

Mcvities really are taking the mick with the amount they put in these days.

I've never opened a pack of Jaffa Cakes without ending up eating the entire pack. That ingredient list is clearly missing whatever addictive drug they put in.

Interesting comment on the Aldi version though, will have to try them!

Tried the raspberry ones, they were pretty awful.

Not so bad that I threw them away or anything, I still ate the whole pack. But it took two sittings, rather than the standard one sitting with original Jaffa Cakes.

Wouldn't buy them again tbf.

You're telling me!!

Was it a dirty dozen?

[dapprman]

My preference is actually the Bahlsen Messino ones which are tangier and have more jelly to sponge and darker chocolate. I'm certain they also make the Marks and Spencer ones due to both shape and taste.

Now it's a dirty 10 due to shrinkflation, may be 11 in B&M.

Pimms. They do raspberry and white chocolate amongst others, and they are exceptional.

I had lime jaffa cakes the other day, they were nice but not orange nice.
