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.

Love everything about Walker’s Company…have always eaten and enjoyed every single bite, but this is a totally different experience. I have learned that I won’t buy these again, but will continue to buy all of the other products they sell!

My favorite breakfast with jam!

Delicious and brings back Scotland the great.

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.

I missed these so much - got attached to them while living in England. You have simple got to try cheddar cheese and oat cakes...then for something over the moon, put some Branston Pickle on the top. The whole pairing is a bit sweet, tart, sharp and moreish.

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.
