    Growing up I was always told that only paupers eat biscuits, scones etc. with the topping facing down - apparently it's the most effective way to get the taste from the toppings if you can only afford a small quantity of biscuits/scones...
    However, personally I despise chocolate biscuits so I can't really answer your actual question.

    Yes, choc up.

    Looking at the chocolate while you eat is a visual pleasure and adds to the overall enjoyment

    I had this same conversation with a friend many years ago - I always eat them chocolate down, he ate them chocolate up. We had a ridiculously heated debate over it, so in the end we wrote to the biscuit company to get the definitive answer! They said that during manufacture, the biscuit is held and dunked into the chocolate (ie. rather than having chocolate poured onto the biscuit) and so therefore they should be eaten chocolate down as then they were the right way up :)
    Therefore, I was right - and boy, did I milk that one for years!
