Which biscuit is a recipe for WEIGHT GAIN? This snack is the MOST calorific
BISCUITS are a staple across Britain - providing a sugary treat for those in need of a sweet pick me up. However, as many of us know, the tasty snacks are not the healthy choice.

The healthiest biscuits have now been ranked - and the new McVities Milk Chocolate thins come out on top.
This is hardly a surprise as the new extra slim biscuits have been devised for those looking for a healthier option.
Next up are the orangey cake-like biscuits, Jaffa Cakes, which have only 46 calories per biscuit. At only one calorie more McVities Ginger Nuts have 47 calories.
The worst biscuit you could eat if hoping to look after your waist line is Tesco All Butter Shortbread, which, unsurprisingly given the name, has 95 calories.

Sales of basic biscuits are crumbling as Britons switch to both healthier and more indulgent snacks, according to a new report.
Data from market analysts Kantar Worldpanel shows that today's Britons have lost their taste for everyday biscuits buying 48.4 million fewer packs over the past year.
The change in snacking habits means has wiped £25.7million off the market’s value as shoppers switch to less calorie-laden cereal bars or more luxurious biscuits such as Jaffa cakes.
Food giant McVitie’s began selling the new Digestive Thins with the promise that fans of the traditional version of the biscuit would not be disappointed.
And at just 31 calories per biscuit - less than half the 86 calories in the usual chocolate digestive - they should also be kinder to consumers’ waistline.
Heralded as a “delightfully delicate twist on the nation’s favourite biscuit’, the new snacks are thinner and crispier than the standard version.
Coming in three flavours - milk chocolate, dark chocolate and chocolate cappuccino - McVities say the new range will provide the perfect excuse to take five minutes out from work.
