    1. Magic, eh?
      The product looks and tastes very much like the English "Hobnobs", and, I suppose, not to get in trouble with McVitie's the German producer decided to call his "creation" Hobbits. Pretty clever.

    2. Ah, an Aldi-esque case of, ahem, letterly henky-penky then. Are there Dark Hobbits, too, residing, perchance, in a dark hole?

      Dark Hobbits? No! Could easily be considered racist. Whole milk chocolate or no whole milk chocolate would be your question.
