Walker's Shortbread Highland Oat Crackers, Scottish Crackers, 9.9 Oz Box (Pack of 6)

These were a real treat I thought I'd never taste again! These are just as delicious as I remember. I was surprised by the price! It's definitely worth every penny. They're perfect in every way, a lovely crumble, roughly 3-bite-sized, and wrapped in three separate plastic packages per box, so the product freshness is retained even after opening the box. They are a household staple now, with sweet, unsalted butter just like my Scottish great-grandmother first fed them to me.

First of all, as Amazon continues to conflate reviews for various items under the listing for one item, let me make clear that this review is for the "Walker's Shortbread Highland Oatcake Crackers." Secondly, don't be confused by this name. The company is called "Walker's" and the words "Shortbread" and "Crackers" have apparently been inserted for marketing purposes. These are neither shortbread nor crackers but rather oatcakes, which can best be described as a cross between the two. They haven't been made with butter and they contain very little sugar, so they're not buttery and sweet like shortbread. They contain very little sugar but they also contain very little salt, so they're not really like crackers either. They're not like cakes and they're not at all like Scandinavian crispbread. They're unlike the oatcakes made by Nairn's - which are harder and more bland, more like English water crackers - probably because the Walker's contain a little sugar but the Nairn's contain no sugar at all. The Walker's may also have a slightly more delicate texture than Stockan's oatcakes, though the Stockan's are also delicious.Oat flour is slightly sweet to begin with, and these oatcakes make a great snack unembellished. Great with honey, jam, or roasted hazelnut butter (better than almond or peanut). When I want to wash down something sweet with my Darjeeling, I spread hazelnut butter on one oatcake and raspberry jam on another and then sandwich them. My craving is satisfied, and I'm not tempted by a handy supply of ready-made cookies. The Subscribe & Save price for these is great, and every package in the lot that I received shows a very long expiration date.

I bought six boxes of these assuming that they are made of oat flour with no wheat flour. I could not see ingredients displayed on the product site, and I assumed based on the description that they only had oat flour. I was wrong. When I looked at the Amazon site picture of the side of the box that lists nutritional information, there are no ingredients listed. But when I received the crackers, I saw the ingredients listed above the nutritional information. Why, I wonder, did the company not show the ingredients on the site? It seems purposefully deceptive. I am not a celiac, but I have a sensitivity to wheat flour. I will be giving all six boxes away. I would love a refund!

Delicious and brings back Scotland the great.

My favorite breakfast with jam!

Well packaged, slightly sweet, crumbles easily. No real taste, and as a platform for canapes, it better be something strong. Not a good tea biscuit, again unless you use anchovies or something with a strong taste.

I purchased Walkers Shortbread Highland Oat Crackers, 9.9 Ounce Box in a six-pack and the carton arrived in perfect condition with a reasonably distant best by date imprinted on each box. The crackers are a little more crumbly than I recall, but the taste is what I expected in an oat cracker of this style. The texture is consistent, not varying from bite to bite or cracker to cracker, and like others, they really need an accompaniment and don't do well when eaten in their simple dry format. A soft texture and/or sweet topping do very well with these and they can really be adorned without worry that they won't hold. I personally don't weigh them down so their texture can be enjoyed without the topping. I appreciate that these each contain 4 individually wrapped packets so they will stay fresher. I also store the opened crackers in the refrigerator.

First to be honest, I was born in Scotland and raised eating oatcakes. I now live in Florida and over the years have been inventive in acquiring them . But now through Amazon I always have a supply. Walker's is a good brand and tasty for my needs. Great with cheese, marmalade or a soft boiled egg.
