'I tried Fox's new pistachio flavour biscuits - there's one thing you need to know'
Fox's biscuits is the latest brand to jump on the pistachio hype as they launched their brand new 'Dubai Style' pistachio biscuits - but they have divided the internet.
It seems pretty much everywhere you turn, there is some sort of pistachio flavoured food on the market all thanks to the viral 'Dubai Chocolate' bar.
The brand behind the beloved Party Rings, Jammie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels have entered the Dubai Chocolate phenomenon, and as a true pistachio lover myself, I took up the seriously hard job of trying them for myself.
Fox's Fabulous Chocolatey is bringing the luxury of the Middle East straight to the biscuit shelves and I couldn't be more excited.
The Summer I Turned Pretty has major twist and fans are on the edge of their seats
While they sound delicious with a "melt-in-the-mouth" pistachio filling, people have been divided over the might biscuits that are now available in stores due to being £3 a pack. While it is steep, the Dubai chocolate craze doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon.
The first thing I noticed was the size, they really aren't very big at all, but once I broke it in half it was absolutely crammed with soft chocolate and pistachio, so they definitely didn't scrimp on the filling. I can see why people aren't impressed with the price though as they aren't the biggest for your money.
Excited to try, I bit into the biscuit and instantly had the soft melting chocolate cream which was tasty, it was very chocolatey but I didn't quite get the true pistachio flavour I was expecting. It gave a salty aftertaste, and a hint of nuttiness, but I can't say it was pistachio.

I think these would be great for those who are just starting out with pistachio flavouring and are wanting to try pistachio flavoured foods without being overwhelmed as it's a very mild flavouring.
While there is only the slightest hint of pistachio that gives a slight salty aftertaste, it is still delicious. Each biscuit features a buttery cocoa shortcake base, filled with smooth pistachio cream.
It's layered with a fine crumbled biscuit for a knafeh-inspired crunch and coated in velvety milk chocolate. It's finished with a dark chocolate drizzle to perfectly balance each bite - it's definitely a treat and I could most likely devour a whole pack with a cup of tea.

Emmerdale's Vinny Dingle 'to report attacker to the police' - but it's not Mike
Emmerdale's latest episode saw Vinny Dingle preparing to contact the police after a beating from Mike, but it was teased someone else could be framed on the ITV soap One character faced being framed by Vinny Dingle in Emmerdale over a brutal attack. In sad scenes, Vinny had his fiancée Gabby Thomas believe someone else other than Mike had hurt him while he continued to lie about a theft from the night before. But as Vinny prepared to report the assault to the police during the latest episode, he broke down just moments after a confrontation with pal Kammy. It was Kammy that Gabby assumed had attacked Vinny, while she doesn't know just how badly Vinny was harmed having been kept in the dark about what's been going on lately. It comes as Mike's real identity was exposed as he beat up Vinny during Tuesday's episode, following weeks of Vinny questioning his sexuality ahead of his wedding to Gabby. Mike's real agenda also came to light as he used Vinny's torment against him in a blackmail twist. As fans know, Vinny has been questioning his sexuality ever since his near-kiss with pal Kammy. He's been left torn over whether he wants to be with Gabby despite his love for her, and he started speaking to Mike online who he thought was experiencing a similar situation to him. This is what Mike, actually Graham, had Vinny believe and this week we finally found out he was using it to blackmail him for his money. In violent scenes Mike beat Vinny on the ground before demanding £10,000. With that he fled the scene with Gabby and Vinny's wedding rings, and Vinny covered the whole thing up. Unfortunately for him Kammy sensed something was wrong and kept pushing, but he refused to confide in him. Instead, Vinny deliberately goaded Kammy into going for him cleary to get him to back off but also possibly to frame him for his bruises. The cruel twist saw Kammy shouted at by Gabby who later threatened him in the pub, refusing to listen to his version of events. Kammy later visited Vinny to ask what was going on, baffled by his behaviour. But Vinny screamed at him and refused to admit the truth, leading to Kammy telling him he needed to tell someone whatever was bothering him. In the end Kammy couldn't get through to him and left while Vinny seemed thoughtful, before a conversation with Gabby later on. We saw Vinny search for the number of the local police station on his phone, preparing to click call. But if Vinny does report the attack, could he be about to frame Kammy for the crime to cover up everything? Or might Vinny find the courage to tell the police and Gabby what went on with Mike.

ITV This Morning viewers 'stunned' as Andi Peters confirms age and says 'I'm ancient'
ITV This Morning viewers were left gobsmacked as Andi Peters confirmed his age while discussing Brooklyn Beckham's feud with his family This Morning: Andi Peters reveals his age This Morning fans were stunned when presenter Andi Peters revealed his age during a chat about Brooklyn Beckham. During Tuesday's episode of the ITV programme (August 12), Andi and co-host Emma Willis took over presenting duties, filling in for Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, who are enjoying their summer break. Before diving into the day's top stories, Andi welcomed Alison Phillips alongside newly-wed Nick Ferrari, who revealed he had recently tied the knot with long-term partner Clare Goodwin. The conversation quickly shifted to Brooklyn Beckham's, 26, alleged rift with his family after his vow renewal ceremony with wife Nicola Peltz, 30. The pair initially wed in a glittering US celebration back in 2022, reports the Mirror. Their guestlist featured his parents, David Beckham, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51, from whom he's now believed to be distanced. Yet the duo has renewed their marriage vows in an extravagant ceremony, with the Beckham clan notably missing from the festivities. Discussing the occasion, Nick remarked: "What's interesting, it's been three years, that's not a lot of time. If they were married 10 or 20." Andi interrupted: "Maybe they are trying to prove a point that they are having a great relationship, that they are happy with each other, and that they are under such scrutiny all the time." Alison added: "They are only under scrutiny because they put pictures all over Instagram, all the time", with Nick nodding in agreement. Andi went on to say: "I think there is a real generational thing for people of that age. I was 55 last week, don't you know. I'm ancient." The legendary presenter left Nick and This Morning viewers gobsmacked with his age revelation, prompting many to take to social media to express their surprise, believing Andi to be "a lot younger". One viewer queried on Facebook: "Watching This Morning. Did Andi Peters just say he was 55?! I need to know his secret. He still looks so young." Another exclaimed: "He did and I was no way!", while a third chimed in: "He still looks the same as he did when I was younger, I've said that lots of times, he hasn't aged at all, lucky." "He's hardly changed at all", one viewer noted, while another agreed, writing: "I said this a few weeks ago, he's hardly changed in 30 years."
