Spot, over here we get all sorts of Jaffa Cakes, you can buy normal Jaffa Cakes, Dark chocolate Jaffas, Jaffa Cake bars and Jaffa cake mini rolls and mini Jaffa Cakes.

If you wanted some proper McVities Jaffa Cakes you can buy some on ebay i think!

did you know the original recipe for McVitie's Jaffa Cakes is a closely guarded secret, the delicious combination of light sponge, dark chocolate and smashing orangey bit in the middle was first created over 60 years ago.
Back in 1991, we fought a battle with the VAT man to prove that Jaffa Cakes are cakes, not biscuits, and therefore should not attract VAT.
In 1994 McVitie's launched Mini Jaffa Cakes and Jaffa Cake Bars, to appeal to the growing lunchbox market. 1999 saw the introduction of the innovative 'Tubes' packaging and 2002 was the year of the Jaffa Mini Roll launch.
Jaffa Cakes are known for being irresistible but unfortunately, not everyone is prepared to get their Jaffa Cakes honestly. Remember the Munchkins, who would do almost anything to get hold them! They were followed by another desperate mob in the 1990's known as the Orangey Tangs who loved the orangey bit in the middle so much so we had to completely cover the Jaffa Cakes in chocolate, for a limited time, to keep them out.
