Custard creams are a classic biscuit with a custard-flavoured cream filling found in biscuit selection tins as well as on supermarket shelves. They've been around since 1908 and have been a staple for biscuit lovers ever since.
Commonly eaten alongside a cup of tea, I decided to try eight different varieties to see which biscuit won. The supermarket taste test included , , , , , , and , and I was surprised by the results.
The custard cream from Morrisons lacked filling, and I couldn't really taste the filling too much.
It was pretty standard and nothing too special compared to some of the others.

The custard cream from Sainsbury's had a little more filling and was super tasty.
The texture was much nicer, and the biscuit was slightly crunchier.

Asda's custard cream was less crumbly, and the biscuit had a nice texture.
However, I couldn't taste the filling too much, and it wasn't a standout biscuit.

The custard cream from Tesco really wasn't anything special and I didn't like the texture or taste despite having quite a lot of filling.
I found this biscuit to be quite dry compared to some of the others I tasted.
5/10
This custard cream from Waitrose was super tasty, and the texture of the biscuit was more of a shortcake.
I did really enjoy this custard cream, but for the price, I think others were tastier.

M&S took the top spot for me with their double-stuffed custard cream, and it was super tasty.
You could really taste the filling, the ratio was absolutely perfect, and definitely worth the price.
10/10
Despite being super affordable, the biscuit tasted super cheap and was not enjoyable at all.
I think other supermarket custard creams were much nicer, such as Sainsbury's.
3/10
Despite looking appealing, Aldi's biscuit was very similar to Lidl's and tasted super cheap.
The filling was pleasant, but again, the other supermarkets tasted much nicer.
