    "content_text": "Nutella Biscuits Tube: Why the Tube, and How to Serve Them, in summary: Nutella Biscuits in a 166g tube: a short, crumbly shell wrapped round a soft hazelnut chocolate centre. The tube protects a fragile biscuit and closes again. Skip the dunk and the fridge; serve with espresso or broken over ice cream.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nA filled biscuit is more fragile than a plain one, and the tube is the answer to that rather than a bit of shelf theatre. It keeps the stack standing, stops the biscuits knocking into each other and closes again between servings.\nA shell baked around a soft centre \nEach biscuit wraps its centre in dough instead of pressing it between two halves, which is what separates a filled biscuit from a sandwich cream. Baking one is a genuine puzzle: the shell has to crisp while the spread inside stays soft and does not bubble out. The solution is a shell that is short and a touch thicker than usual, so it crumbles when you bite instead of snapping cleanly.\nThat is a trade-off rather than a fault. The shell tastes mildly of biscuit and feels like a crumble; everything else comes from the middle, a soft wave of hazelnut and chocolate with no bitter edge to hold it back. It sits at the sweet end of the tin and behaves more like a dessert than an everyday tea biscuit, which shapes how best to serve it.\nChoosing between the tube and the bag \nWe stock Nutella Biscuits two ways: this 166g tube and the 20-piece bag. The tube earns its place for anyone who eats a few at a time. A rigid cylinder keeps the stack upright, where a soft pack lets filled biscuits jostle and break, and the tube can be shut again between servings, which matters because a short shell soaks up kitchen damp quickly once it has been exposed to the air.\nThe bag suits a household that gets through biscuits quickly. For a desk drawer or a slower pace, buy the tube. Wherever it lives, keep it cool and dark rather than cold: a fridge turns the centre hard and waxy, the opposite of what the biscuit was made to be, and its humidity softens the shell at the same time.\nCoffee instead of a dunk, and one good pudding \nLeave dunking to plainer biscuits. Hot tea melts the fat-based centre and crumbles the short shell at once, and half of it stays in the mug. Instead, let the cup supply what the biscuit lacks, which is bitterness. An espresso, a plain black coffee or a strong tea taken without sugar will all push back against the sweetness and make the second biscuit as good as the first.\nThe best use of a few from the tube is in a bowl rather than beside a drink. Crumble two biscuits over a scoop of vanilla ice cream and pour a hot espresso on top. The warm coffee loosens the filling into the ice cream while the broken shell keeps a little bite for just long enough, and a sweet biscuit becomes a pudding in moments.\nThe packs we stock \n\nNutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Filled Biscuits Tube, 166g (barcode 8000500310397)\n\nWhat the label says \nThe published ingredient list for Nutella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread Filled Biscuits Tube, 166g says it contains wheat and barley (gluten), milk, soya and nuts (hazelnuts), and it may contain mustard.

Both hold Nutella Biscuits. The 166g tube keeps the stack upright and closes again, while the 20-piece bag is the larger pack for quicker eating.\nCan you dunk Nutella Biscuits? It is not worth it. The centre melts and the short shell crumbles together, so half the biscuit ends up in the cup.\nWhy does the biscuit crumble instead of snapping? Baking a crisp case round a soft centre, without that centre bubbling out, needs a shorter, slightly thicker dough.\nWhat allergens are in them? The published list for this product declares wheat and barley (gluten), milk, soya and hazelnuts, and warns that it may contain mustard. Check the pack before buying.\nHow do you turn Nutella Biscuits into a pudding? Crumble two over a scoop of vanilla ice cream and pour a hot espresso on top, so the coffee melts the centre into the ice cream.\nCurator's note: Keep a tube in for the night you want pudding and have nothing in. Two biscuits, a scoop of vanilla and a hot espresso poured over, and nobody asks what else is for dessert.
