What is a Hovis Biscuit?
Hovis biscuits are a special kind of biscuit. They are made to look like a tiny, flat version of the famous Hovis bread loaf. You can even see the word "HOVIS" pressed into the top of each biscuit!
A Brief History
These biscuits first started being made in 1980. A company called Nabisco, through its Irish branch Jacob's, was given permission to make them. They used the well-known Hovis name for their new biscuit.
Today, the Hovis biscuit is made by United Biscuits. This company makes many other popular snacks too.
How to Enjoy Hovis Biscuits
Hovis biscuits are slightly sweet. You can eat them just as they are. Many people like to dunk them in tea or coffee. They also contain carbohydrates that release energy slowly.
Because they are not too sweet, Hovis biscuits can also be a savoury snack. Some people like to eat them with a slice of cheese on top.
