About McVitie's White Chocolate Hobnobs

About McVitie's White Chocolate Hobnobs

One Hobnob with a cup of tea is a plan. Four is a confession. McVitie's White Chocolate Hobnobs are the crunchy, rough-edged Hobnob you know, with a layer of white chocolate that makes the packet vanish twice as fast.

The dunk is a gamble. Leave it in a second too long and half the biscuit ends up at the bottom of the mug. You will do it again tomorrow anyway.

This is the UK packet, the one from the corner shop back home, and it ships from within Canada.

Put the kettle on before you open it. Afterwards is too late.

Frequently asked questions about McVitie's White Chocolate Hobnobs

Q: How big is the packet?

A: It is the full 262g packet, the same roll you would grab off the shelf in Britain. Enough for a week of tea breaks, or one very honest evening.

Q: How are they different from regular Hobnobs?

A: Same crunchy Hobnob underneath, with white chocolate instead of milk or plain. Sweeter, creamier, and a very good argument for a second cup of tea.

Q: Do they make a good gift?

A: For anyone who grew up in Britain, a packet of Hobnobs says more than a card ever could. Add some proper tea and you have covered the whole afternoon.

More about McVitie's White Chocolate Hobnobs

In the unofficial ranking of the British biscuit tin, Hobnobs sit near the top, well above the Rich Tea and elbow to elbow with the chocolate digestive. The white chocolate one is the sweeter cousin, and it tends to be the first to go when the tin comes out.

People in Canada go looking for these because a biscuit is never just a biscuit. It is the mid-morning tea break at work, the packet on the side at your nan's, the one you hid at the back of the cupboard so nobody else found it. That memory is very specific, and only this biscuit fits it.

The packet is the standard McVitie's roll. Fold the end over or tip them into a tin and they keep happily in the cupboard, ideally somewhere cool so the white chocolate stays put. They are built for a strong mug of tea, though a coffee will not complain.

McVitie's makes plenty of the biscuits Britain runs on, from digestives to Jaffa Cakes, and a packet of these often travels home alongside a box of proper British tea bags. It would be rude to send them on their own.

The story of McVitie's White Chocolate Hobnobs

By Aaron A.  |  October 13, 2026

Two biscuits, in theory

You open the packet meaning to have two. Then the kettle boils again. Anyone who grew up with Hobnobs in the cupboard knows exactly how that goes, and this packet will be no kinder to your willpower. It comes from McVitie's, the firm behind the Digestive and the Jaffa Cake, and it belongs next to a mug of tea at four in the afternoon. You can tell everyone you are only having one. Nobody at the till will believe you.

Read the full story

It started with a grocer's shop

Robert McVitie opened a grocer's shop on Rose Street in Edinburgh in the 1830s. Modest start. The business became McVitie & Price after Charles Price joined, and in 1888 the St Andrews Biscuit Works opened in the Gorgie district of Edinburgh. Then, in 1892, the firm's chief chemist, Alexander Grant, developed the recipe for the McVitie's Digestive. A chemist, yes. Somebody had to take the biscuit seriously, and British teatime has never looked back.

Jaffa Cakes, then the Hobnob

In 1927 McVitie & Price first produced Jaffa Cakes, named after Jaffa oranges, and the country has been arguing about whether they are cakes or biscuits ever since. Hobnobs arrived in 1985, and the milk chocolate version followed in 1987. That is two years for everyone to agree a Hobnob could do with chocolate on it. Fair enough. Some decisions should not be rushed.

Bigger family, same kettle

In 1948 McVitie & Price merged with Macfarlane, Lang & Co. to form United Biscuits. Turkey's Yıldız Holding acquired United Biscuits in 2014, and McVitie's now operates as part of the pladis global food group. The paperwork has moved about a bit. Nobody by the kettle has noticed. A packet of Hobnobs sits next to the tea bags, goes in the bag for the long drive, and gets opened at work on a Monday by someone who swears they only brought it in to share.
