Product Review: Gluten Free & Wheat Free Chocolate Flavoured teacakes by Kelkin

Only six but quite large chocolate flavoured teacakes by Kelkin (although not as large as Wagon Wheels!). These are GLUTEN FREE and WHEAT FREE snacks made up of a small round biscuit base, a topping of light fluffy marshmallow and coated in a chocolate flavoured mix. As you can see from the picture below, despite being in a cardboard box, and in a plastic tray, they do get a little battered which might be because the chocolate coating is a really thin layer (unlike the standard teacakes I remember). The biscuit base is very crumbly and therefore messy to eat but they are a tasty savoury snack.  http://www.kelkin.co.uk/prod_chocteacakes.html
