Chocolate Fingers by Garden Co. Review


Yet another snack from the good people of Garden Co., these finger cookies are chocolate covered cookies that can be described as less sweet versions of 'Finger' by Cadbury

  • Texture: Very crispy and light cookie center which snaps and breaks cleanly. Rating: 10 out of 10.

  • Flavor: A slightly sweet vanilla shortbread cookies covered in chocolate.  Not too creamy, nor is it sweet enough to make your mouth ache. Rating: 8 out of 10.

  • Packaging: These come in little plastic gift bags and each cookie is wrapped up like old fashioned candies. Rating: 10 out of 10.

  • Availability: I rarely see Cadbury Fingers in the US much less Garden Fingers.  Good luck on finding these (tell me if you do!). Rating: 0 out of 10.

  • Origins: Garden is a very famous and well established baked goods company (like Hostess or Wonderbread) in Hong Kong.  They are best known for their white bread, cookies, and crackers.  Anybody who's been in the general vacinity of the bakery has smelled the welcoming aroma of fresh baked bread.  Their manufacturing practices are pretty open and public tours through their bakery are often given. Rating: 10 out of 10.

I came back from a trip to Canada (Toronto) and bought some of these at the T&T Supermarket there. Reminds me of my childhood in HK.
