A finger is a long thin stick of biscuit wrapped in chocolate on every side, which gives it a far higher coating-to-biscuit ratio than a round or a digestive. You are eating mostly chocolate with just enough biscuit underneath to give it a spine. Going white changes that considerably. White chocolate contains no cocoa solids at all, which means it brings no bitterness whatever to the biscuit, only cocoa butter, milk and sugar. That is either exactly what you want or exactly what you do not, and it is worth knowing which before the pack arrives. What it does mean is that the drink next to it has to work harder than usual. The Taste Profile White Chocolate: ●●●●● (5/5) The dominant note by a distance, because the coating wraps the whole stick. Creamy and milky rather than cocoa-led. Biscuit: ●●○○○ (2/5) A thin shortcake spine, there for snap and structure. It is not trying to be tasted. Snap: ●●●●● (5/5) The cleanest break of any biscuit here. A finger snaps rather than crumbles, which is half the pleasure of eating one. Teas.co.uk Curator Rating: 4.8 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk The Story Behind Cadbury Fingers Cadbury is the best-known chocolate name in Britain, and Fingers occupy a specific place in the national repertoire: the biscuit that comes out on a plate when people come round, goes round the edge of a birthday cake as a fence, and gets eaten standing up at parties. The format survives because it needs no plate, no knife and no explaining, and because a stick is easier to hand a child than a round biscuit. Cadbury's heritage is British; that is company heritage and not a claim about where this particular pack was made. The ingredient list, the allergen advice, the finger count and the net weight must all be read off the current UK pack rather than taken from this page. Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes. What You Are Actually Buying Weight: one hundred and fourteen grams. A small sharing pack rather than a family one. Coated all round: the whole stick is enclosed, not dipped on one side. That is what makes the coating the dominant flavour and what keeps your fingers clean until the chocolate warms. Contains milk and gluten: white chocolate contains milk solids and the spine is a wheat biscuit. This is not a vegan or gluten-free product. What it is not: not a dunker, not a quiet biscuit and not a grown-up tin biscuit. It is a sharing plate biscuit and a party biscuit, and it is very good at being both. How Does Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate Covered Biscuits, 114g Compare to: Cadbury Dairy Milk Fingers Salted Caramel Flavour Biscuits, 114g: the same format and the same pack size with a milk chocolate coating and salt doing the balancing. If you find the white version one-note, the salted caramel is the same idea with a counterweight built in. McVitie's Signature Dark Chocolate Rounds Biscuits, 109g: the opposite end of the same shelf. A dark coating on a thin round brings real bitterness, so it stands up to black coffee where these fingers do not. Buy the rounds for adults with coffee and the fingers for a plate that children will reach into. Tunnocks Milk Chocolate Caramel Wafer Biscuits Multipack, 240g: also very sweet, but wrapped one at a time. Buy the wafers for portability; buy the fingers when the point is a plate in the middle of a table. Ideal Serving Conditions White chocolate is the softest-handling of the three coatings on a biscuit shelf, and on a finger there is a great deal of it relative to the biscuit underneath. Keep this pack cool and serve it cool, and it behaves; leave it in a warm room for an afternoon and you will be wiping fingers. The Sharing Plate Serve Cool first: ten minutes in the fridge before they go on the plate makes a visible difference to how they look and how they handle. Stand them up: in a short glass or a jar rather than laid flat. They are easier to take one-handed and they stay off a warm plate. Pair with something sharp: raspberries, sliced strawberries or a bowl of pomegranate seeds. Fruit acidity is the counterweight the biscuit does not carry. Not alongside anything else sweet: put these next to a caramel biscuit and neither registers. The Tea Tray Serve Strong tea, unsweetened: a proper builder's brew or a full-bodied Assam. The tannin in a strong black tea is the best available answer to this much sweetness. Or something sharp and caffeine-free: a hibiscus or lemon infusion works surprisingly well, because acidity cuts sweetness just as effectively as bitterness does. Dunking: we would not, and the construction explains why. The coating wraps the whole stick, so the only way water gets in is through the cut ends, and by the time it has the chocolate is already sliding. Two per person: they are thin, and they go quickly. Getting It Right with a Hot Drink Pairing: strong unsweetened black tea, a sharp fruit infusion, or black coffee if you want the sharpest possible contrast. Avoid: hot chocolate, sweetened tea, milky mild teas and anything with syrup in it. Dunking: no. The coating is a waterproof sleeve and the ends let water in faster than you can lift. Storage: cool, dry and dark, resealed or decanted to a tin once open. White chocolate picks up strong kitchen smells more readily than dark, so keep it away from anything savoury. Best with: visitors, a children's party, a birthday cake that needs a fence, or an afternoon pot of strong tea. Safety And Purity Ingredients and dietary suitability: Per the published ingredient list for this barcode it contains wheat (gluten), milk and soya. Check the current UK pack before purchase; formulations and allergen advice can change. No health claim: sugar content and nutrition figures are matters for the current UK pack. Child safety: a thin biscuit stick is a choking risk for very small children. Supervise, and keep out of reach of the under-threes. ## Product Questions Why does a finger taste so much more of chocolate than a round biscuit?Because the shape changes the ratio. A long thin stick coated on every side carries far more chocolate per gram of biscuit than a round dipped on one face, so the coating leads and the biscuit is a spine underneath it. How many fingers are in the pack?The pack is 114g and states its own count. Is white chocolate really chocolate?It contains cocoa butter, milk and sugar but no cocoa solids, which is why it is pale and why it carries no bitterness at all. What should I drink with them?Something with a genuine edge: a strong unsweetened black tea, a full-bodied Assam, or a sharp fruit infusion like hibiscus or lemon. Acidity cuts sweetness just as well as bitterness does. Avoid hot chocolate and sweetened milky drinks. Can I dunk them?We would not. The coating wraps the whole stick, so water can only get in through the cut ends, and by the time it does the chocolate is already sliding. Eat them dry and let the drink do the work. Why do they go sticky in my hand?White chocolate softens readily at hand temperature, and on a finger there is a lot of it relative to the biscuit. Ten minutes in the fridge before serving fixes it, and standing them in a glass keeps them off a warm plate. Is this the biscuit you put round the edge of a cake?It is. Fingers stood upright around a round cake and tied with a ribbon is the classic birthday fence cake, and the white version gives you a pale fence you can decorate against. It is in the recipe tab. How should I store them once open?Cool, dry and dark, resealed or decanted into a tin. White chocolate picks up strong kitchen smells more readily than dark does, so keep the pack away from anything savoury. ## Ingredients & Nutrition Ingredients and allergens.

Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate Covered Biscuits, 114g is made under the Cadbury name, the best-known chocolate brand in Britain. Fingers hold a particular place in the national repertoire: the biscuit that goes on a plate when people come round, stands round the edge of a birthday cake as a fence, and gets eaten standing up at parties. The format survives because it needs no plate, no knife and no explaining, and because a stick is easier to hand a child than a round biscuit.What's in Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate Covered Biscuits, 114g, and what isn't: In: a thin wheat shortcake stick enclosed in white chocolate on every side, in a 114g pack. Contains milk: white chocolate contains milk solids. This is not a vegan or dairy-free product. Contains gluten: the spine is a wheat biscuit and is not suitable for a coeliac diet. No cocoa solids: white chocolate carries cocoa butter but no cocoa solids, which is why there is no bitterness in this biscuit to balance the sugar. ## Flavour Science The flavour of Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate Covered Biscuits, 114g is built in three layers, and reading them in order explains exactly why the biscuit tastes the way it does from the first snap to the last swallow.The outer layer is the coating, and on this format it is not really a layer at all so much as the body of the product. A finger is a long thin stick enclosed on every side, which gives it far more chocolate per gram of biscuit than a round dipped on one face. The consequence is that the coating is the first thing you smell, the first thing you taste and, in aggregate, most of what you eat. White chocolate also has the mildest aroma of the three coatings, being milk and cocoa butter with no cocoa solids to give it a roasted note, so what arrives at the nose is creamy and faintly vanilla-like rather than chocolatey in the usual sense.The flavour spike is sweetness, and it arrives without opposition. This is the structural difference between a white-coated biscuit and every other biscuit on the shelf: cocoa solids are what carry bitterness in chocolate, and white chocolate has none of them. Nothing in the biscuit pulls against the sugar, so the spike is high, immediate and sustained rather than resolving into anything. It is why these are so popular with children and why some adults find one finger plenty. It is also why the choice of drink beside them is not a refinement but the whole difference between a good plate and a cloying one.The base structure is the shortcake spine, and it is doing less flavour work here than in any other biscuit we list. Its contribution is the snap, and it is genuinely excellent at it: a thin enclosed stick breaks with a clean crack rather than crumbling, which is half the pleasure of eating one and the reason children reach for them. The finish is short and milky and clears quickly, leaving a faint coating on the palate rather than a lingering tail. That short finish is what lets you eat three without noticing, which is either a feature or a warning depending on how you look at it.Getting it right in the cup. These do not go in the cup, and the construction is the reason. Because the coating encloses the stick completely, hot water can only enter through the two cut ends, so the biscuit does not soften evenly the way a digestive does; instead the chocolate warms and starts to slide before the crumb has taken on anything useful. Serve them dry and pick the drink deliberately. A strong unsweetened black tea is the best everyday answer, because tannin cuts sweetness cleanly. If you want something caffeine-free, a hibiscus or lemon infusion does the same job through acidity rather than bitterness, and works better here than any herbal you might reach for by instinct. What does not work is anything sweet: hot chocolate, a sweetened latte, or tea with sugar in it.How water and temperature change it. Temperature is the whole game with a white-coated biscuit. White chocolate softens readily at hand temperature and there is a great deal of it here relative to the biscuit underneath, so a pack left in a warm room for an afternoon handles badly and marks the plate, while ten minutes in the fridge before serving makes a visible difference to both the gloss and the snap. Chocolate that has warmed and re-set shows a pale bloom; on a white coating it is harder to see than on a dark one but the texture change is the same, and it does not reverse. Humidity is the second variable: once the pack is open the ends are exposed and a thin spine takes on moisture from the air within days, which turns the snap into a bend. White chocolate also picks up strong kitchen smells more readily than dark, so a sealed tin away from anything savoury is worth the trouble. None of this is a fault in the biscuit; it is a lightly-built stick carrying a lot of soft coating, behaving exactly as that suggests. ## Recipe Ideas Six builds below cover the sharing plate, a raspberry dip, the birthday cake fence, white chocolate rocky road, a crushed cheesecake topping and a sundae. Recipes, born here first The Sharing Plate How to make The Sharing Plate with Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate. 10 min 4 servings Easy You'll need 1 pack Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate, 114g A punnet of raspberries or sliced strawberries A pot of strong unsweetened black tea Ten minutes of fridge time Method Chill the unopened pack for ten minutes. It makes a visible difference to the gloss and to how the fingers handle. Stand the fingers upright in a short glass or a small jar rather than laying them on a plate, so they stay cool and come out one-handed. Put a bowl of sharp fruit beside them. Acidity is the counterweight this biscuit does not carry itself. Brew the tea strong and leave the sugar out of it. What you'll end up with: A plate that looks considered and takes ten minutes, with the sweetness properly balanced rather than piled on. Fingers and Raspberry Dip How to make Fingers and Raspberry Dip with Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate. 10 min 4 servings Easy You'll need 12 Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate 200g raspberries 150g thick plain yoghurt Juice of half a lemon Method Crush 200g of raspberries with the juice of half a lemon and push half of them through a sieve to remove the seeds. Ripple the purée through 150g of thick plain yoghurt without fully mixing it, so there are sharp pockets. Serve the dip cold with the fingers stood upright beside it. Keep the dip properly tart. Sweetening it defeats the whole point of the exercise. What you'll end up with: The sourness does for this biscuit what a strong tea does, and turns a very sweet finger into a balanced pudding. The Birthday Cake Fence How to make The Birthday Cake Fence with Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate. 15 min 1 cake Easy You'll need 2 packs Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate 1 round cake, 18 to 20cm Buttercream or ganache to stick them to A ribbon Method Coat the sides of the cake generously with buttercream or ganache so the fingers have something to grip. Stand the fingers upright around the edge, side by side, pressing each one gently into the coating. Tie a ribbon round the middle to hold the fence and hide any uneven ends. Fill the top with sweets or fruit. A white fence takes colour better than a milk chocolate one. What you'll end up with: The classic British birthday cake that needs no piping skill at all, and looks far harder than it is. White Chocolate Rocky Road How to make White Chocolate Rocky Road with Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate. 20 min + 2 hours chill 12 squares Easy You'll need 1 pack Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate, 114g 300g white chocolate 80g butter 100g dried cranberries 50g chopped pistachios, optional Method Snap the fingers into three each. Keep the pieces chunky so they stay visible in the set slab. Melt 300g of white chocolate with 80g of butter very gently. White chocolate seizes faster than dark, so use a low heat and stir constantly. Fold in the biscuit pieces and 100g of dried cranberries, plus pistachios if you are using them, and press into a lined 20cm tin. Chill for two hours and cut into twelve squares. What you'll end up with: The cranberries are not optional in spirit: without something tart this is sweetness on sweetness. Keeps four days in a tin somewhere cool. Crushed Finger Cheesecake Topping How to make a Crushed Finger Cheesecake Topping with Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate. 5 min 1 cheesecake Easy You'll need 6 Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate 1 chilled cheesecake Zest of 1 lemon Method Crush six fingers to a rough rubble rather than a powder. You want shards you can see. Scatter them over a chilled cheesecake just before serving, not before, or they soften. Grate lemon zest over the top to cut through the sweetness. Serve immediately. What you'll end up with: Five minutes turns a plain cheesecake into a finished pudding, and the lemon zest stops it being sugar on sugar. Finger Sundae Spikes How to make Finger Sundae Spikes with Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate. 5 min 2 sundaes Easy You'll need 4 Cadbury Fingers White Chocolate 4 scoops vanilla or raspberry ice cream A handful of raspberries 2 tablespoons cold double cream Method Layer two scoops of ice cream and a scatter of raspberries into each glass. Spoon cold double cream over the top. Spike two fingers into each sundae at an angle, so they stand up out of the glass. Serve at once. The fingers soften quickly once they meet ice cream. What you'll end up with: The stick shape earning its keep: a sundae that looks assembled rather than scooped, and a biscuit you eat with your hands. --- _Content available under teas.co.uk citation contract.
