Ginger nuts. Dunk them as long as you want and they're soft on the outside while maintaining their structural integrity meaning it will never fall in. Forget opinion, this is objectively the only answer  |

"Chocolate hobnobs all other answers are just wrong
You’re welcome
You can close the thread  "
I agree but you need an extra wide mug to get it all in without biting a bit off first |

Another with great taste
You need a big mug because of how much they absorb anyway |

"Structural integrity is very important I must admit but not sure about ginger nuts tho "
They're amazing! Lovely spice and sweetness all in one biscuit. What more can you ask for? |

You’re all wrong.
The Rich Tea is purpose built for improving the cup of tea experience.
Before everybody says they’re too soft and break, that’s because the dunking or more appropriately the dipping of the rich tea biscuit requires application, it’s an event that should be savoured and enjoyed.
None of that dunk it and throw it in your gob.
Rich tea, a classic because it’s a classic.
I rest my case.  |

After reading your well constructed case I have considered what you are saying and I believe you are still very wrong  |

"It would be Rich tea and gingernut biscuits. Both are perfect dunkables.
*Must get a packet of each now I've been reminded of the pleasure."
Costa do a fantastic oval shaped ginger biscuit for ergonomic dunking. I don’t drink tea or coffee (I know, I know, I’m a wrongun) but dipped in hot chocolate they are sublime.
Rich Tea - 
Chocolate hobnobs - king of biscuits
Jammie dodgers (foxes raspberry creams are the best) - awesome but not for dunking |

Someone has done a test and proved this not to be the case, surprisingly.
Ginger nuts didn't even outperform digestives. |

On the subject of Rich Tea, does anyone know if they've stopped making chocolate coated Rich Tea as I have not seen them in any shop/store in my area for years? |

I think if this happened, whoever invented rich teas would spontaneously combust. They would consider it an affront to the most boring, pointless biscuit ever invented.
If combustion didn’t occur, I expect they would hasten (no, that would be against health and safety, they would slowly and carefully walk) to their depressing little shed and invent a rival morsel unable to bond with anything as interesting as chocolate; such is their commitment to bland baking. |

Do I detect a disliking of Rich Tea in the Felix household? |

 Tbh, they don’t even give me the energy to dislike them. They’re so bland and pointless I can’t find something to specifically hate. Which is worse than being annoying, in my book! |

"Chocolate digestive
Triple choc digestive
Quadruple choc digestive
Where can I acquire such a biscuit "
They are situated next to the Quintuple ones, just along from the Sextuple ( i love that word) versions |

In Australia they have a chocolate biscuit called a tim tam , basically it's a penguin .
You bite each end off the biscuit
Hold in your mouth , dunk in tea , suck tea through biscuit , shove biscuit in and heaven awaits .

This sounds good! I’m told sucking hot chocolate through a Twirl is an experience not to be passed up.
Not sure I can bring myself to do that in Costa… |

The same can be achieved with chocolate fingers.  |

I've seen someone experiment with dunking different biscuits and they found that Digestives hold out longer than Ginger Nuts mainly becuase of the internal structure of the biscuit.
Digestives are more flake like while Ginger Nuts are crummy, so don't hold up to moisture as long. |

Shout out for the Nice biscuit.
Very tasty biscuit and best to double up back to back for a remotely decent dunking experience.
But even then, this one is about timing or small dunks, otherwise half the biscuit is going in the mug.
Personally I enjoy the risk and go 75%.
“Extreme” dunking! |
