The “bite-sized, premium biscuits” come in three variants – Belgian Milk Chocolate & Hazlenut, Belgian White Chocolate & Truffle and Belgian Milk Chocolate & Praline.

United Biscuits is targeting the biscuits at what it dubs the “special treats” segment. Sarah Heynen, marketing director for sweet biscuits at United Biscuits UK, said the segment generated sales of GBP171m (US$278.2m) and grew by 14% in the year to 1 January.

“Retailers stocking the new McVitie’s Temptations variants will be able to provide their customers with a different premium option,” Heynen said. “The luxurious biscuits are perfect for an indulgent treat at home or can also make a great gift.”
