To offer some background about Mid-Day Squares, the brand describes their treats as "everything a chocolate bar isn't" and "everything a protein bar wishes it was." They're designed to curb mid-day cravings and are 100 percent organic, vegan and gluten-free. But given that I'd never tried a brand of chocolate that ticks all of these boxes (FYI, not counting protein bars here), I felt it was my duty to give these a shot. I mean, a chocolate bar that's loaded with clean protein and fiber, without tons of added sugar? That sounded almost too good to be true. So when I got the opportunity to sample Mid-Day Squares, I just had to try them out.

The box includes - Milk Chocolate Club Crunch, Milk Chocolate Regency, Marbled Octagon, Milk Chocolate Viennese Finger, White Chocolate Coronet, Dark Chocolate Halo, Milk Chocolate Ring, Milk Chocolate Fudge Sundae, Milk Chocolate Orange Flavour Sundae, White Chocolate Ring, Dark Chocolate Ring and Milk Chocolate Vanilla Flavour Sundae.If I could get away with eating sweets all the time, then chocolate bars would account for roughly 80 percent of my diet.

I'll admit, I can usually scoff my way through several biscuits with a nice strong brew, but I couldn't even manage more than a couple (ok maybe three) at a time with these, they were so indulgent. It makes each one feel like a proper indulgent treat, and there will be no Peter Kay biscuits falling in your tea moments with these. The thing that impressed me the most was how thick the chocolate coating is on these biscuits. Marks and Spencer Milk, Dark and White Chocolate Biscuits (Image: Liverpool Echo)Īs soon as I opened the plastic wrapping around the biscuits, I was overwhelmed with the rich chocolatey smell and couldn't wait to tuck in. The box is packed with 24 biscuits including Milk Chocolate Fudge Cream (smooth, buttery and delicious), Extremely Chocolatey Dark Chocolate Shortcake Biscuit (slathered in thick chocolate, this was absolute heaven) and my personal favourite, Dark Chocolate Ginger Biscuit (so good I'd buy a whole box of these). At £5, the box isn't the cheapest on the market I'm sure, but I quickly found out you get what you pay for.
