McVities

The last time I tried to make a nice Digestive, it was a disaster, I should have just cut them out of cardboard.
Well, I found the following recipe on this site, and they are really rather successful all though I did have a diddle and replace the oats with wheat germ. A cunning move I think.
Try them, with chocolate on one side they might be even better.
