Monte Carlo biscuits are a yummy sweet treat from Australia. They have been made by a famous company called Arnott's Biscuits Holdings since 1926. These biscuits are known for their special taste and creamy filling.
What Makes a Monte Carlo Biscuit?
Each Monte Carlo biscuit is like a delicious sandwich! It has two biscuit layers with a creamy filling in the middle. Unlike some biscuits that have fancy shapes, both sides of a Monte Carlo biscuit are rough.
The biscuit layers have a mild, sweet taste. You might notice hints of golden syrup, honey, and coconut. Inside, the creamy part is a yummy vanilla flavoured cream. This cream is surrounded by a thin layer of raspberry jam, which adds a fruity touch.
Where Can You Find Them?
You can usually find Monte Carlo biscuits in most supermarkets across Australia. They are often sold in packs of 12 individual biscuits. These packs weigh about 250 grams.
Monte Carlo biscuits are also part of a popular mix. They are one of the five different biscuits in the Arnott's Assorted Creams variety pack. This larger pack weighs about 500 grams. If you're curious, the Monte Carlo is the heaviest biscuit in that assorted pack, weighing around 20.8 grams each!
How Did They Get Their Name?
These tasty biscuits were named after the city of Monte Carlo. This famous city is located in a small country called Monaco, known for its beautiful scenery and grand buildings.
