When Cadbury<\/a> launched their Dairy Milk Biscoff bar<\/a>, it was sure to be a match made in confectionary heaven.<\/p>\n

The iconic OG of milk chocolate<\/a>, combined with a caramelised biscuit<\/a> that\u2019s reached God Tier status.<\/p>\n

But fans were left \u2018disappointed\u2019 by the collab, saying that they \u2018couldn\u2019t really taste the Biscoff<\/a>\u2019 and it had a \u2018grainy\u2019 texture.<\/p>\n

The bar was perhaps not quite what snackers had in mind, with \u2018crumbs\u2019 of Biscoff nestled in the milk chocolate, instead of lashings of the popular spread. <\/p>\n

Essentially, the Biscoff didn\u2019t have much oomph.<\/p>\n

But, before you head back to your Biscoff jar with a spoon, there\u2019s a delicious alternative you need to know about,<\/p>\n

In the aisles of my local Co-op<\/a>, I came across Biscoff\u2019s own brand Milk Chocolate with Biscoff Spread.<\/p>\n

It might not have a punchy name, but as a long-time Biscoff lover (I was a fan when it was simply a plastic-wrapped biscuit served with your cuppa) I was intrigued.<\/p>\n

Having also been left feeling a little \u2018meh\u2019 by the Dairy Milk offering, I braced myself\u2026 and, the good news is, the Lotus bar did not disappoint.<\/p>\n

\n

This Lotus bar isn\u2019t knew \u2014 having launched in August 2022 \u2014 but it\u2019s less well-known than Cadbury\u2019s offering, and availability varies from store to store.<\/p>\n

Currently, you can find it in Co-op for \u00a33 (reduced from \u00a33.60) and it\u2019s available online from Sainsbury\u2019s <\/a>(\u00a33.50), Morrisons <\/a>(\u00a33.50), Tesco<\/a> (\u00a33.50) and Asda<\/a> (\u00a32.98) \u2014 although you may not find it in store.<\/p>\n

And yes, while it\u2019s on the pricey side for a chocolate bar (the Dairy Milk Biscoff is currently on offer in Sainsbury\u2019s for \u00a31) it\u2019s well worth it.<\/p>\n

The bar is basically a very thick layer of Biscoff spread encased in creamy milk chocolate, with some added crunchiness of the biscuit itself. It\u2019s chunky, at a a similar size to M&S\u2019s new Big Daddy bars.<\/p>\n

If the Cadbury version wasn\u2019t enough Biscoff for you, then this bar has it in spades. It\u2019s the overwhelming flavour by a long way, with the added kick of chocolate.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s sweet so you won\u2019t want much \u2013 but it\u2019s handily separated into squares (okay, rectangles) that actually make for a pretty decent portion.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve become pretty addicted since spotting the bars \u2013 which I give a solid 10\/10 \u2013 but you don\u2019t just have to take my word for it.<\/p>\n

Fans online have also been sharing their love for Biscoff\u2019s own brand version.<\/p>\n

\u2018100% would eat again, absolutely insane,\u2019 wrote TikToker Aimee Liggins in her review. While creator Katie Snooks said: \u2018I think this is going to be very, very addictive.\u2019<\/p>\n

And reviewer Sevda Ela said: \u2018Very nice, worth every penny.\u2019<\/p>\n

The bar is also available in white chocolate, which some have said is \u2018even better\u2019. <\/p>\n
