Arnott's Monte Carlo Jam & Cream Biscuits 250g

Normally, I would never pay $10 for a package of cookies. I'm a fan of the Australian show Wentworth (thank-you, Netflix.) On an impulsive whim, I decided to see if you could purchase these, as they are referenced many times by certain characters. Honestly, I thought they were probably made up. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that, not only were they a real product, they sounded tasty and could be ordered here on Amazon. (Then again, what can't you buy here on Amazon? Lol.) The cookies, or biscuits (as they are called in Australia,) arrived quickly and packaged securely. The taste was almost like a shortbread flavor followed by a nice hint of raspberry coconut. It is (in my opinion) kind of reminiscent of a Pepperidge Farm type of cookie. It was expensive because, unlike myself, it is a product of Australia. So, although I enjoyed the cookie, I probably would not buy them again. If they were available locally (making them cheaper) I would definitely keep buying them. That being said, I now know what many Australians know, the taste of an Arnott's Monte Carlo "biscuit." ( I wonder what the Australians call a cookie?)

Love these. Very unique taste and texture. I would sit and eat these back home in Australia relaxing. Or fill a plate with these and Tim Tams for a barbie. Every now and then I indulge in goodies from back home because God knows I am sick to death of Cinnamon and Peanut Butter flavoured everything here...sigh. You can't really describe the taste as it's unique to Monte Carlo. I also don't like jam having said that you don't taste the jam in these because of the creamy filling in between the biscuits. If you are looking for something unique to eat with your cuppa, these are it!!

We found out about these cookies watching wentworth and we are like why is Boomer so obsessed with them? So we ordered some and they are really good. They are bit on the dry side, but if you like a nice crunchy cookie with some fruit flair these are the cookies you want.

Aussie here. Living in the US I missed the gold ole Monte Carlos. Hadn't had one in a dozen years. I ordered them here. They were delivered with minimal damage (a little bit of crumble on some--nothing major), and they were fresh--not stale. However, the amount of coconut raspberry marshmallow cream was minimal compared to many years ago--very thin layer. You get a small taste of it, but nothing like in the good old days. No fault of the Seller.

I saw these cookies on a tv show I was watching and I just had to try them. The flavor of the filling was good, a bit sweet but good. The cookie was excellent. They’re thicker than I had thought they’d be so one at a time was sufficient. I wanted more!!! Good value for the price. Try them you’ll like them.

Crave these every so often. Expensive here but very few options

This is the first time I’ve ever tried these cookies and I really don’t know what they are supposed to taste like. I’m assuming that the coconut cream and the jam inside are supposed to taste just like that — coconut cream and jam. I suspect these cookies are past their expiration date because the jam/cream part had the consistency of a gummy. So I really could not taste any fruit or coconut flavor at all. The filling had hardened into a flat gummy type consistency. Disappointing and I will not order again.
