So what is your choice biscuit? Whether it be at work, whilst watching a film or just something to dunk into your tea? 
I've just sampled a packet Fox's Chunkie 'extremely chocolatey' cookies and I must admit they fit the bill perfectly and are rather moreish. A biscuit that seems to have fused two national favourites together; the milk chocolate Digestive (without the needless digestive bit!) and the common chocolate chip cookie - The brilliance is the fact that when combined the overall deliciously tasty biscuit is approximately 1cm thick! 'Tis perfect for dunking in warm beverages and as a fill-in until lunch/dinner ...
The only downside I can see is only 8 biscuits come in a pack and these can vanish pretty quick, especially in an office environment

I favour the Tunnocks Caramel Wafer myself. Lovely taste, ample in size, nice texture, not to cumbersome to chocolatey/caramelly/wafery but a perfect combination of all three. And, the paper wrapper keeps crumb-droppage to a minimum. Damn, that is a tasty biscuit.
Next in line would be the jaffa cake. But is it a biscuit or a cake? Perhaps that's one for another day!

Its still a cake. always was a cake, and will inevitably always remain, a cake.Next in line would be the jaffa cake. But is it a biscuit or a cake? Perhaps that's one for another day!
what is a florentine classed as? the tesco finest ones are great.
i like chunky, crunchy choc & nut cookies or all butter shortbread to dunk. those caramelised ones you get on the side of your coffee in a cafe are also good, as are galettes.
i'm finding green & blacks apricot & sultana cookies to be my favourite at the min, as they're nice and moist with a layer of g&b dark chocolate on the bottom

In work we used to have 'The Biscuit Diary'
This was a book we made with a review of every biscuit we had tried.
This was the layout
Brand: (fox, McVities etc)
Biscuit: (Digestive, HobNob ect)
Price: (a bit obvious really)
Where from: (again, this doesnt need explaining)
Flavour: (out of 10)
Drink its being dunked intomilk, tea, coffee etc)
Pre-dunk Crunch: (out of 10)
Dunkability: (number of dunks before the biscuit broke appart(each dunk was 1 seconds [dunk] 1, 1000 [/dunk]))
Optimum Number of dunksnumber of dunks where the biscuit is as close to fully saturated as possible whilst still strong enough to suppost itself when held horizontal for 5 seconds)
Post-dunk crunch (after 1 dunk): (out of 10)
Post-dunk crunch (after 3 dunks): (out of 10)
Review: (just a little explaination of what you thought of the biscuit including good and bad points)
I reckon we should start a PH Biscuit Diary

Their top level strategic mission statement:
"Well I think we should all sit down and have a nice cup of tea, and some biscuits, nice ones mind you. Oh and some cake would be nice as well. Lovely."
