    Yes, I was going to buy my boyfriend biscuits for Christmas, not that unusual is it?

    You were gonna buy you husband chocolate biscuits for Christmas:confused:

    :question: Why not as a stocking filler if he really likes them and they are not readily available, it's only like getting a box of chocolates. :smiley:

    I'm not judging.
    Hey if their nice and he like them then that's great.
    I think most wouldn't buy their men chocolate biscuits as a presents.
    If my husband did like them i would just buy them for the cupboard not a present or stocking filler.

    But ... a Tim Tam explosion won't work with Penguins!

    For those who don't know (and are serious chocaholics, lol) this is what you do:

    Bite off one corner from the top of the Tim Tam.
    Bite off the opposite corner on the bottom of the biscuit.
    Use the Tim Tam as a *straw* and suck up some tea/coffee/hot chocolate.
    As you feel the heat on your lips, quickly turn the Tim Tam upside down and put the whole thing into your mouth.
    Wait a second whilst it all *explodes* and enjoy the massive chocolate hit!

    Fair enough, but my OH is a biscuit and choccy monster!
    Family always give us nice biscuits and chocolate at christmas too.
    Also I can't afford to make a special purchase and spend nearly £5 (inc p&p) on a small packet of biscuits just to put them in the biscuit jar as normal.
    I bought him 9 whisper bars and was going to save them for Christmas, but just gave then to him and they were gone within 2 days!

    Yer bog standard Tim Tam is nothing to write home about but with the caramel ones, the 'explosion'... well, it's a chocaholic's "money shot".

    I must try this!

    BUT, you can also do something VERY nice with a Cadbury's chocolate finger.....I prefer the plain choc ones if you can find them.

    Bite off both tips and use it as a straw in brandy. When full, eat. Fantastic end of dinner party fun!

    :cool:
