Review: Godiva Sablés Biscuits

Nothing is more British than enjoying a good cup of tea and a biscuit, so I was happy when Godiva got in touch letting me know about the new collection of biscuits they have launched the Sablés! I was lucky to have been sent a pack* to try.

The Sablés (also known as a French butter cookie or Breton Biscuit) come in four different flavours with ingredients sourced from all around the globe. The biscuits I was sent were the ‘Almond Speculoos’ which have a fantastic cinnamon flavour and half been half dipped in delicious chocolate.

The Sablés come in adorable boxes which have beautiful vintage decorations on them. I really love the hot air balloon design which sneaks of heritage and good gold British fun!

The biscuits themselves have a pleasant crumbly texture, almost like a shortbread, but with the added boost of the cinnamon making this a real treat. They really remind me of winter and Christmas, which is my favourite time of the year! The chocolate is quite dark (I usually prefer milk or white), but the bitterness is well balanced by the sweet biscuit.

Overall I think The Godiva Sablés would make a lovely addition to any afternoon tea with friends or an indulgent treat for your tea break. The flavours are great and I love the sense of heritage. I award them 4 out of 5 stars.
