These round biscuits are crunchy to bite and taste more like Danish butter cookies than shortbread. Nicely sweet but may disappoint fans of traditional shortbread.

*** Marks & Spencer All-Butter Shortbread Fingers 210g 2.10 Really buttery taste and nice bite. Melt in mouth and have a rich, smooth taste. Excellent.

**** Royal Edinburgh Shortbread Fingers 125g 69c Nice crunchy bite followed by melting buttery texture.

Rich flavour and crumbly mouth feel made these popular. Excellent value too.

*** Tesco Finest Scottish S/Bread Fingers 165g 1.53 Flaky, sweet fingers with lovely homemade flavour. Light in mouth and rich buttery texture. A delicious premium product.

***** McVities All Butter Shortbread 200g 1.69 Tastes more of wheat biscuits than butter shortbread. Hard and crunchy to bite with a grainy texture. Not liked.

*Walkers Shortbread Fingers 160g 1.79 Not buttery enough. Quite bland and wheaty tasting. Unpopular with panel who were surprised when told these were Walkers, the biggest selling shortbread brand.
