Just made twinks hob nobs. :T all I can say is that trying this recipe will go a loooonng way to me achieving my goal of making any biscuits and cakes we eat :j. Not sure it's going to help me get to goal at weightwatchers though :rotfl:
If you haven't tried them, do they are so easy, taste great, make loads and best of all really come from what I would call store cupboard ingredients.
P.s thanks to whoever posted yesterday they were making them that inspired me. Sorry really rubbish with names think it was wee Jo
Yet another great idea from this thread

The other half has gone to look at a wedding venue that i dont want so am not happy, back hurts from using kettle weights at the gym, its raining and its nearly the end of the month and my last pay cheque as no job in september grrrrrrr
