Jaffa Cakes

A Serbian product(?) It's got enough dough to be classified as a cookie instead of sweets. Basically a shortbread-like cookie with a blob of orange jam or jelly, then the jelly side is covered in chocolate. First impression, the orange is very artificial. The short bread a little stale. But the more you chew on it, the more you'll realize the orange is actually OK. The cookie being in contact with the jelly, it's gonna be a bit moist. It's not staleness. Plus, it's like short bread. The jelly also helps moisten the whole thing in your mouth. I thought it's gonna be really sweet, but the sweetness turns out to be perfect (not that sweet at all). Overall it's an excellent combination. They've got it right.
