    "content_text": "Maryland S'wich Choc Creme: How a Sandwich Cookie Eats, in summary: A choc creme filling held between two crisp Maryland chocolate chip cookies. Sweeter than the plain sleeve and a poor dunker, it wants a strong, unsweetened tea or a black coffee, and a cool cupboard.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nPutting a filling between two cookies alters how a Maryland bites, how sweet it tastes and how it behaves near a mug. The S'wich is thicker, sweeter and softer in the middle than the plain sleeve, and it needs handling accordingly.\nTwo cookies, one filling, three sweet things \nEach S'wich is a pair of the familiar crisp Maryland cookies, chips and all, held together by a layer the pack calls choc creme. The published ingredient list puts the chocolate chips at 12 percent and adds fat reduced cocoa powder, dried skimmed milk and palm kernel oil to the mix. The bite is crunch first, then a soft give as the filling takes over.\nThat stacking is why it reads so much sweeter than the plain cookie. The filling is one continuous layer rather than scattered pockets, it is sweeter than baked dough, and there is plenty of it for the size of the biscuit. Nothing in the build pushes back, so one or two is usually enough. The label lists wheat (gluten), milk and soya, and warns it may contain nuts and peanuts.\nWhy it is not a dunking biscuit \nHeat gets to the filling faster than it gets to the cookie. As the creme warms it loses its grip, the two halves part company, and the bottom one usually ends up in the tea. If you must dunk, risk a single second with the sandwich held flat, but this is really a biscuit for the plate, eaten alongside the cup rather than dipped into it.\nWarmth is the thing to plan around generally. The filling softens long before the shells do, so keep the pack in a cool cupboard, away from the kettle and sunny windowsills, and think twice before packing it for a summer picnic. Count each sandwich as two cookies, too: a 150g pack holds fewer pieces than the same weight of single cookies would, and it empties faster than it looks.\nStrong cup, no sugar \nThe S'wich arrives with plenty of sweetness and richness already, so the drink's role is contrast. Give black tea a longer brew than you normally would, four or five minutes, and take it black or with just a dash of milk, never sugared. A pale, milky mug makes the whole thing feel heavy after a few bites, and a sweetened drink has nothing left to contribute.\nBlack coffee, unsweetened, is our favourite partner, its bitterness meeting the filling head on. We also like a S'wich as a stand-in for pudding: for anyone who claims not to want dessert, one of these settles the matter without anyone having to cook. The Terry's Chocolate Orange S'wich is the one to try if you want the same build with an orange twist.\nThe packs we stock \n\nMaryland Cookies S'wich Choc Creme Biscuits, 150g (barcode 072417337475)\n\nWhat the label says \nThe published ingredient list for Maryland Cookies S'wich Choc Creme Biscuits, 150g says it contains wheat (gluten), milk and soya, and it may contain nuts and peanuts.

Two crisp Maryland chocolate chip cookies sandwiched around a choc creme filling, sold in a 150g pack.\nCan you dunk sandwich biscuits like the S'wich? Not well. The heat softens the filling first, the halves come apart and one ends up in the mug, so one second held flat is the most to risk.\nHow does a S'wich compare with a plain Maryland for sweetness? It is noticeably sweeter. The filling adds a second, continuous layer of sweetness on top of the cookie and its chips.\nDoes the S'wich carry a nut warning? Yes. The label says it may contain nuts and peanuts, and the ingredients include wheat (gluten), milk and soya.\nHow should a filled cookie be stored? Somewhere cool and dry. Warmth softens the filling well before it affects the cookies around it.\nCurator's note: Treat it as dessert rather than a dunker. One S'wich and a strong black coffee after supper is all anyone needs.
