THEY'RE VERY GOOD, BUT...

Similar to Tunnocks Caramel Logs

They're not, in fact, caramel logs

In the same way that passions can be inflamed over the goretex/paramo debate, the relative merits of these traditional Scottish staples can cause bitter divergence of opinion. There can be little doubt however that from a healthy outdoors lifestyle perspective, the log is to be preferred, as it has a coating of high fibre coconut, which is bound to make it better for you. Isn't it?
Sticks to your teeth a bit, mind.

LIGHTWEIGHT, TASTY AND A GREAT MORALE BOOSTER!

Chocolate, caramel and wafer in one light, compact bar. Very tasty. Not the highest calorie snack but sweet without being sickly. The quality is undeniable. Great value for money.

Tend to crumble bashed or stood on, and can get rather sticky if exposed to excessive sunlight.

One of the best snacks you can have with your hot drink up the hill (except for with soup maybe...). A real morale booster at any time. I was fed these in quantity as a child, by my dear departed Granny, and unlike the other foods she forced upon me, my love of these wafers has remained undiminished to this day! Tea and a caramel wafer, you cannae beat it. Don't leave home without them!

weigh nothing, taste brilliant, nice wrapper

Sugar, fat, carbohydrate - what's not to like? They may not provide the kind of calorie fest that malt loaf does but they raise a smile for me every time- especially the hard-to-get plain chocolate ones.

A tad crumbly if subjected to stress/impact. Don't like prolonged immersion.

As it says on the back of every one of them, millions of these gold-and-red wrapped beauties are made and sold every week. They have retro chic, solid reliable worth, and a rewarding chewiness. I first encountered them as a miserable, layabout teenager working on a milkround in the dead of winter. They were about the only sliver of joy in my otherwise freezing, soaking, miserable days. Since then, I have had to turn to hillwalking to replicate that sensation. A tunnocks and a cup of thermos tea in the freezing damp of a British autumn afternoon...aaah...simple pleasures.
