I buy ours in tesco  :P  They are easy to miss.  They used to be square shaped but now they are circular.

They are the Jacobs ones that look like this...

Hmmm . . . must try HobNobs.  My favorite biscuits thusfar are the malted milk ones from Tesco.

Not all Tescos have them. I can only find them around here at the Co-op, and not all the time even there.
