Appearance + Aroma
The Jim Jam Pops Go India is an open-creme biscuit with a unique tri-color appearance. The green jam sits right in the center, which is encased by white cream and rests on a vibrant orange biscuit base.
The biscuits are slightly uplifted towards the side. The jam does not ooze out and is stationed in the center.
This has an intense and dominant aroma of vanilla which feels quite artificial.
Taste
These biscuits are a delightful treat! Considering all the elements of these biscuits are sweet, the overall sweetness was balanced. The cream has a dominant flavor of vanilla while the green fruity jam has a sweet and tart flavor. This adds a fun and delightful element.
All in all, this combination of sweet, creamy vanilla and tart green apple center makes the overall experience enjoyable.
Texture
These biscuits yield a soft texture rather than crisp snap. But a good thing was that they do not crumble upon biting.
- Thoughtful and innovative product
- Balanced sweetness
- Delightful green jam center
- Tiffin-friendly
- Convenient snack option
- It has a overpowering aroma of vanilla which was not enticing.
- The biscuits lack a crisp bite.
