Fox's Chocolatey Biscuits Half Coated Milk Chocolate Cookies, 157g
A thick chocolate chunk cookie with a milk chocolate base, which makes it chocolate in every bite rather than a biscuit with a bit of coating. It is sweet and substantial, best one or two at a time with a strong cup, and it wants a cool shelf because the coated underside softens first. Contains wheat, milk, soya and oats.
Fox's Chocolatey Biscuits Half Coated Milk Chocolate Cookies, in brief.
Fox's Half Coated Milk Chocolate Cookies is a thick, crumbly cookie studded with milk chocolate chunks and finished with a layer of milk chocolate on its flat underside, a 157g pack picked into the Teas.co.uk selection as the cookie for people who want chocolate in every bite rather than a thin snapping biscuit.
Keep the pack cool: the chocolate base softens in a warm kitchen. A quick dip works, base down for no more than a couple of seconds.
Fox's Half Coated Milk Chocolate Cookies are chocolate twice over. The cookie itself is thick and crumbly, with milk chocolate chunks baked through it, oatmeal and desiccated coconut in the dough, and then the flat underside of each one carries a generous layer of milk chocolate. The 'half' in the name is that one coated face, not one coated end.
That build is what decides how to eat it. The top shows the cookie and its chunks; the base is smooth chocolate. It is a substantial, sweet cookie rather than a plain biscuit to have three of, and it is at its best at room temperature with a strong cup of tea or a milky coffee.

The Story Behind Fox's
Fox's is a Yorkshire biscuit maker, and Chocolatey is its range of chocolate biscuits and cookies. The half coated cookie sits alongside the uncoated chocolate cookies in the same range: same idea of a thick cookie with chunks, with a chocolate base added for people who want more of it.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Pack: 157g of thick chocolate chunk cookies, each with a milk chocolate coated base.
- The build: milk chocolate chunks (21% per the published recipe) through a wheat and oatmeal cookie with desiccated coconut, and a milk chocolate coating (16%) on the underside.
- Contains: wheat, milk, soya and oats; may contain nuts and peanuts (published allergen information).
- Suitable for: vegetarians, per the manufacturer.
- What it is not: not a thin snapping biscuit and not a plain cookie with a bare side: the chunks mean every part of it is chocolate.
Ideal Serving Conditions
Keep it cool and dry. The coated base is the part that suffers first on a warm day, so store the pack away from the oven and the window, reseal it once opened, and serve the cookies chocolate side down on a plate.
The Tea Tray Serve
- Strong tea: a builder's brew or a breakfast blend with milk stands up to this much chocolate.
- One or two per mug: they are thick and sweet; two is plenty.
- A short dip: base down for a couple of seconds if you dunk at all, and the chocolate will soften first.
The Coffee Serve
- Milky coffee: a latte or a flat white; milk chocolate and milky coffee are an easy match.
- Crumbled: over vanilla ice cream, where the chunks and the coated base both break into useful pieces.
Getting It Right with a Hot Drink
- Pairing: builder's tea, breakfast blends, latte, flat white.
- Avoid: very delicate green or white teas, which the chocolate will overrule.
- Storage: cool, dry and sealed; the cookie goes soft rather than stale once open.

The taste profile
How does it compare
Fox's Half Coated Milk Chocolate Cookies are thick and chocolate-rich, which makes them better broken over something cold than dunked for long. Three ideas cover the everyday cup, an ice cream crumble and a no-bake base.
