In the 1930s someone had the brilliant idea of covering (technical term: enrobing) the Bath Oliver with chocolate. Evelyn Waugh mentions Bath Oliver biscuits in his novel Brideshead Revisited: Sebastian Flyte and Charles Ryder nibble on the biscuits while indulging in a night of extravagant wine tasting. During World War II, the English Crown Jewels were hidden in a secret chamber deep beneath Windsor Castle. virtual tea break the other day, we were chatting over a cuppa when the conversation turned to biscuits – the nation's favourite mid-morning snack. I don’t really like dark chocolate but the fusion of the dark chocolate and Oliver biscuit moves this up to another plane.
It's written by some people who are obviously huge fans of Chocolate Olivers; and also fans of snow globes!
One of the first things she does on waking is have a cup of Earl Grey tea, with no sugar and the occasional drop of milk. It is very well-known that the 95-year-old is a bonafide "chocoholic" and that could be clearly seen during her latest engagement as she had four boxes of chocolate on the table.

The biscuits were designed as a diet biscuit for his obese clients who were taking the waters in Bath. While many royal fans have focused on the adorable new picture of The Queen with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, there is something else that has attracted a great deal of attention. House and Garden previously reported that the Queen starts her day with a 'pre-breakfast' of Earl Grey tea – minus milk and sugar – and a side of biscuits, presumably including Chocolate Olivers.
In recent pictures showing the inside of her Oak Room sitting room at Windsor Castle, r oyal fans have spotted boxes of chocolates on side tables.
The Bath Olivers go to Mr Bagot [the butler]—he has a Partiality for Them—and the others to the servants' hall.Well cheer up because good to their word, Huntley and Palmers have finally managed to resurrect them.
