I’m a lover of nearly all biscuits, dunked or otherwise, but there’s only one winner:

Trio were fab. If you delicately squeezed between your teeth, you could separate them into the distinct layers of chocolate, toffee and biscuit.
They remind me of visiting my great aunt when I was much younger and I always got two rich tea biscuits and a glass of milk.
I believe she bought them as there were more in a packet than any other biscuits and she was always very frugal with money.

They're good bashed up and used in no-bake chocolate cake / rocky road, but otherwise, they're pretty uninspiring.

I have a reliable oat biscuit recipe which gets modified a lot to include various flavours:
For packeted goods, I'm pretty good on any and all of them, from the lowly Rich Tea, through the Nice, Arrowroot, Malted Milk, Ginger Nut to the Hob Nob, Abbey Crunch, Bourbon, Custard Cream and such rare delights as the Lemon Puff and the daddy of them all, the plain chocolate digestive (McVitie's only though). Never came across a biscuit I wouldn't eat.
- cinnamon or mixed spice
- ginger (ground and finely-diced stem)
- apple
- raisin
- chocolate (bulk and/or chip)
- lemon/orange/lime zest

Hmmm, two years ago, when people were panic buying, the only biscuits I could get in Tesco here were rhubarb custard creams and chocolate chip digestives.
I only bought the rhubarb custard creams once. They are really not very nice.
OTOH the chocolate chip digestives, which I had ignored up until then, are actually very nice, and ergo are a regular visitor to my biscuit barrel. I generally like to go round the houses when it comes to biscuits.

Ginger Nuts are the best!
Although Hobnobs have a place in mine and Mrs SD's hearts due to some early doors romantic associations. ❤️😁
