Hobnobs are a type of biscuit popular in the United Kingdom, known for their crunchy texture and rich flavor. They are made primarily from oats, which gives them a distinctive chewy quality. Hobnobs are often enjoyed with tea or coffee and can be found in both plain and chocolate-covered varieties. Originally launched by the brand McVitie's in 1985, Hobnobs have become a favorite snack for many. They are marketed as a wholesome option due to their oat content, and they are often associated with a comforting, homey experience.
