Taking to Twitter, a poll revealed that biscuit lovers chose the Chocolate Fudge Brownie flavour as the favourite to celebrate the marriage.
And so, McVitie’s will take the nations most loved chocolate digestive biscuit and aptly give it an American twist.
Bringing the great taste of Britain and American together, they will marry (sorry) everyone’s favourite chocolate digestive with mouth-watering fudge pieces, cocoa and brownie, to create the perfect wedding biscuit to munch on as we watch the nuptials.
The biscuit poll also included American famous flavours such as Mississippi Mud Pie, Peanut Butter and Jelly and Pecan Pie; plenty tried to woo the public, but only one emerged triumphant .
To celebrate the #RoyalWedding we’re creating a limited edition batch of British McVitie’s Chocolate Digestives inspired by a classic all-American flavour. Vote below to have your say! #SweeterTogether

McVities seem to be a family-favourite with the royals too.
Did you know the company created the masterpiece that was Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip’s £500 nine feet high wedding cake, which would cost about £14,000 today? Prince William’s groom’s cake also got the McVities treatment in 2011. The biscuit giant made a chocolate biscuit cake of nearly 2,000 Rich Tea biscuits and 17kg of chocolate.
So, now you've another reason to raise a toast - and a biscuit! - to the royals this weekend.
