Jammie Wagon Wheels: Food Review

An edible wagon wheel I hear you ask? Yes, wagon wheels are completely edible and they are very tasty to boot!

Jammie Wagon Wheels are a delicious marshmallow and jam biscuit smothered in chocolate and shaped like a wagon wheel, hence the origin of the name. They are a popular sweet treat in the UK and have filled many children's lunchboxes over the years.

Taste

Jammie Wagon Wheels have a light crunch to them as you first bite into the chocolate and on into the marshmallow filling. There is just a small amount of jam in the centre of the Wagon Wheel, sandwiched in between the marshmallow, biscuit and chocolate. The jam does not ooze out after you have taken your first bite, which means less mess.

Product Information

The good news about Jammie Wagon Wheels is that they are low in salt, contain no traces of artificial colours, are free from hydrogenated fats and contain no GM (Genetically Modified) ingredients. However, Jammie Wagon Wheels are not suitable for vegetarians, as each biscuit contains the animal product gelatine. This is not clearly stated on the packaging. You must look through the ingredients list to make this discovery.

Allergies

There is a warning on the packaging that alerts potential customers to the fact that this product contains wheat, gluten, milk, eggs and soya products. So if you or someone you know is allergic to any of these ingredients, it is important to refrain from eating this product.

Nutrition

It would not be a good snack for diabetics, but there is just a trace of sodium, which would be suitable for people with high blood pressure.
