Rhythm108 Chocolate & Salted Caramel Biscuits, 135g
Salted caramel has been on every shelf in the country for a decade, and if you are tired of it nothing here will change your mind. This is for the person who is not. What it does well is hold attention past the first two pieces, because there is something other than sugar to register. Buy it for one sitting rather than as a cupboard item. The same line runs a hazelnut version, and nuts are not declared to us at this level, so anyone avoiding them needs the pack itself.
Rhythm108 Chocolate & Salted Caramel Biscuits, in brief.
Rhythm108 Chocolate & Salted Caramel Biscuits come in a 135g bag from a plant-based biscuit brand. Salt is the reason this works: it suppresses the perception of bitterness and lifts the aromas already there, so the caramel tastes of more without being sweeter, and stays interesting further into the bag.
Brew strong with little milk and no sugar, or reach for an unsweetened coffee.
Rhythm108 Chocolate & Salted Caramel Biscuits It is the salt that makes this one worth explaining, because salt in a sweet biscuit is doing something more specific than most people assume.

The Story Behind The Pack
Rhythm108 is a plant-based biscuit brand rather than a mainstream baker running a free-from line, and its range on our shelf is built around chocolate paired with a second strong idea. That is brand positioning rather than a claim about what is in this bag or where it was baked; for that, read the current UK pack.
Salted caramel became ubiquitous because it solves a real problem rather than because it is fashionable. Caramel on its own is sugar taken far enough under heat to develop colour and a set of toasted aromatic compounds, and it is relentlessly sweet: pleasant at the first bite and heavy by the third. Salt changes how the rest of the mouthful is perceived. It suppresses the perception of bitterness, which lets the toasted, slightly burnt notes in the caramel come forward instead of reading as harsh, and it increases the perception of the aromas already present, so the caramel tastes of more without more sugar being added. The practical effect is that a salted caramel biscuit stays interesting further into the bag than a plain caramel one does.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
Our Commitment To The Planet
- The bag you receive is the current UK retail pack, rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market.
- A single bag uses less material per gram than the same weight split into individual wrappers. The trade is honest and it runs the other way once opened: nothing here is portioned, so the seal is doing all the work.
Serving Notes For Rhythm108 Chocolate & Salted Caramel Biscuits, 135g
- Water temperature: Full boil for black tea; around 95 degrees for a rooibos.
- Measure: One bag per 200ml, two biscuits a person.
- Steep: Four to five minutes, strong. A short steep leaves nothing to meet the sugar.
- Service: Little or no milk, no sugar.
- Dunk: No. Chocolate comes off into the mug and a rich biscuit softens to nothing.
- Storage: Seal or clip the bag as soon as you have taken what you want, and keep it cool and dark. Nothing here is individually wrapped, so the bag is the only protection the biscuits have.
- Best with: A strong breakfast blend with little milk, an unsweetened medium-roast coffee, or a rooibos in the evening.

The taste profile
How does it compare
A sweet biscuit needs a cup with something left in it after the sugar has coated the palate. Salt helps more than you might think, because it keeps clearing the ground as you go, but the drink still has to do work. Both builds below aim at contrast rather than agreement.
The Strong Black Mug
The Coffee Route
Made with this tea
The Strong Black Mug
How to make The Strong Black Mug with Rhythm108 Salted Caramel biscuits.
- 1 bag standard black tea
- 200ml water at a full boil
- 2 salted caramel biscuits
- A small splash of milk, or none
- Brew one bag in 200ml straight off the boil for four to five minutes. Strong; tannin is the counterweight to sugar.
- Go easy on the milk or skip it, because milk softens the tannin you need.
- Leave the sugar out entirely. There is caramel in the biscuit already.
- Eat two at room temperature, then seal the bag.
The Unsweetened Coffee
How to make The Unsweetened Coffee with Rhythm108 Salted Caramel biscuits.
- 1 cup medium-roast black coffee
- 2 salted caramel biscuits
- Brew a medium or medium-dark roast and leave it black.
- Taste the coffee first, then take a biscuit and taste it again. The salt suppresses your perception of bitterness, so the same coffee lands softer.
- Resist sweetening anything. Sugar in the cup removes the entire point of the pairing.
What you'll end up with: Two effects stacking in the same mouthful, which is as close as biscuit pairing gets to a party trick.
The Evening Rooibos
How to make The Evening Rooibos with Rhythm108 Salted Caramel biscuits.
- 1 bag rooibos
- 200ml water at about 95 degrees
- 2 salted caramel biscuits
- Steep the rooibos five to six minutes; it does not turn bitter with time, so err long.
- Serve it unsweetened and without milk, so its own soft sweetness sits under the caramel rather than adding to it.
- Eat the biscuits alongside rather than dunked.
What you'll end up with: The caffeine-free option for late on, and the one case where a naturally sweet drink does not spoil the pairing.
No-Bake Salted Caramel Slice
How to make a No-Bake Salted Caramel Slice with Rhythm108 Salted Caramel biscuits.
- 100g salted caramel biscuits, broken
- 80g butter or plant alternative
- 150g dark chocolate
- A pinch of flaked salt
- Break the biscuits by hand into coarse pieces. Do not process them to a powder; the texture is half the point.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together gently, then take the pan off the heat.
- Fold the biscuit pieces through and press into a small lined tin.
- Finish with a pinch of flaked salt and chill for three hours before cutting.
What you'll end up with: A chilled slice keeps the salted caramel character, where a second bake would push the already-caramelised sugar towards bitter.
The Open Bag Rule
How to store Rhythm108 Salted Caramel biscuits once the bag is open.
- The opened bag
- A clip or an airtight tub
- A cool dark cupboard, not the fridge
- Seal or clip the bag straight away. Nothing inside is individually wrapped, so the bag is the only protection there is.
- Keep it cool, dark and away from anything strongly scented; chocolate takes up cupboard smells readily.
- Do not refrigerate, which holds in the aromatics that arrive first.
- Check for a pale surface film if the bag has been somewhere warm. That is fat recrystallising, not spoilage.
What you'll end up with: One minute of housekeeping that decides how the last third of the bag tastes.
What’s in it, what to know
Inside the pack
| Ingredient | Proportion | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Salted caramel | the lead component | Caramelised sugar with a toasted edge, and salt working on the perception of the whole mouthful rather than tasting of itself. It is what keeps the biscuit interesting past the second one. |
| Chocolate | a partner, not a covering | Works alongside the caramel rather than enclosing it, which is what stops the bag eating like confectionery and keeps this on the biscuit side of the line. |
| Salt | a lift rather than a flavour | Suppresses the perception of bitterness so the burnt notes in the caramel read as depth, and raises the perception of the aromas already present. |
| Pack format | 135g bag | A single flexible bag rather than wrapped portions. |
Pack: Rhythm108 Chocolate & Salted Caramel Biscuits, 135g; a bag of chocolate and salted caramel biscuits with no individual wrapping inside. Best before the date printed on the pack.
Sourcing & blend. Rhythm108 is a plant-based biscuit brand rather than a mainstream baker running a free-from line, and its range on our shelf pairs chocolate with a second strong idea.

The bag you receive is the current UK retail pack rather than an import made to a different recipe for another market.

What is in Rhythm108 Chocolate & Salted Caramel Biscuits, 135g, and what is not:
- In: a 135g bag of chocolate and salted caramel biscuits, loose in the bag rather than individually wrapped.
- Not a coated biscuit: the chocolate works alongside the caramel rather than enclosing the biscuit, which keeps this on the biscuit side of the line rather than the confectionery side.
- Not a dunker: chocolate comes off into the mug and a rich biscuit softens to very little. Eat them alongside the cup.
