Similar to Chocolate Digestive biscuits but these were topped with Caramac. Great for dunking and sucking the melting Caramac. Gorgeous. Wish they still did them.

Nestles Caramac bar. A caramel flavoured chocolate bar. Nice if you had the sense to eat only one at a time if I remember.

    When I was at university (1977-1980) our campus shop, a Wavy Line, sold these. I can't remember if they were a brand or a Wavy Line own brand, but they were definitely round biscuits topped with Caramac. Absolutely addictive!

    Two things. I think that Carawheat only had Caramac on one side, not all over. It was quite a thick coating though. Also, I can't quite remember what the biscuit was like. I don't remember it being like a digestive biscuit because they have quite a distinctive taste & colour. In my mind, it was more like a shortbread biscuit, though not quite as 'short' tasting. It was 50 years ago..'shock emoji'..

    Caramac itself is still on sale from Nestle as are Gold bars from McVities.

    I'm not certain what you are saying Woolworths sold. I worked for them for 56 years in the 60's and I can't recall any such biscuits, but u might be right. Jacobs (for whom I worked after woolies)used to do a caramel half coated digestive biscuit I think. If you want something similar now then the solution is Gold bars which is like a Breakaway but with caramel rather than Milk chocolate.

    I remember them being sold loose in Woolworth when I was about 16 (Saturday job there). They were about the size of a fig roll and completely covered in "Caramac" type chocolate. Gorgeous.

    Carawheat indeed. Just made my own by melting some caramac in the microwave and spreading on digestives. Once cool - Voila! Carawheat

Do you remember these?
