These are Aldi's version of Oreos. However, both the biscuits and the packet itself are very small. They come close to the taste of Oreos but the darkness of the chocolate biscuit is so strong that it almost gives a 'burn' to your tongue. The filling is very creamy and these flavours are so at the extremes from each other to make it a very odd taste overall. You can compare it unfavourably with other sandwich biscuits such as Bourbons and Custard Creams, in which the filling compliments the flavour of the biscuit. I accept that Aldi has done reasonably well in creating a biscuit which has strong flavours rather than the blandness of too many biscuits I review, but I think it needs toning down on the two components. The packet and the biscuits themselves both need to be larger no matter what other company's biscuit they may be aping.
