    What post no. was the recipe for the hobnobs Im sure I saw one, but didnt think for one minute they'd look as yummy as those do :)

    Insert From Martin... Twink's World Famous (well MSE Famous Hobnob recipe)

    MoneySaver Twink's Hobnob recipe has been tried, tested and heartily recommended by many MoneySavers its meant to be CHEAP and YUM (i've not tried it yet).

    It was originally posted in the fourth post below, but to make it easier I've copied it here... and I do apologise for not including it in the favourite biscuit poll

    If you want to thank Twink for the recipe go to post number 4 and click thanks

    Hobnob Recipe

    Ingredients

    8oz sr flour
    8oz sugar
    8oz porridge oats
    8oz margarine
    1tbsp golden syrup
    1tbsp hot water
    1/2 tsp bic soda

    Instructions

    Mix the flour, oats and sugar, melt marg, syrup and water in a pan. Stir in bic soda and add to dry mix.

    Then mix well and make into smallish balls which you then put on a greased tray and flatten slightly with a fork. Put in the oven at 180 degrees C for 15 mins... and cool on the tray. The aim is to get them golden in the oven not brown.



    Back to the original post....

    Has anyone got a recipe for biscuits similar to hobnobs please?

    any idea when we will be getting back into tesco? this thread has gone a bit off topic lately. i aint being rude before you all jump on me.
    Is that after the Asda, Boots, Sainsburys, dog's, cat's, husband's, food talk has finished or just the HC talk.

    I think the HC pub might be better going on tour via facebook ;) and then see how quiet this thread becomes.
    I made a mistake once, believeing people on the internet were my virtual friends. It won't be a mistake that I make again!

    Did we ever discover the grand total of the christmas hamper that we ran the sweep on? Miss Laid was that your department?

    I was the one gathering the guessing data, but I am clueless on the out come (just as well as I too have had a guess)

    I'd just like to say a public thankyou to Looby123 for the apology, both on the thread and by PM. It is much appreciated, Looby, thankyou.

    Just for your information though, the Board Guides don't have anything at all to do with decisions made about the forum, or its members; we are just assistants to help the boards run smoothly and remain a happy and useful place to get moneysaving tips and information.

    Now let's get back to moneysaving and keeping Tesco on their toes :)

    Just did whoopsie run to mr A and got thoroughlyhacked off - loads in cabinet btu guy reducing it was chatting away to an older woman and handing her all the meat, chicken etc and reducing it to 30p leaving anything else at reduced prices of £1 - 1.50 and just doing what she wanted and then said see you later tonight then ( obviously his mum!)

    I went up to Customer Service and said I suggest you get a manager to go to the reductions aisle to stop your staff jsut giving it to their family at vastly discounted prices and not to anyone else!!! Never seen a CS staff get on the phone so quick and she said go back its all sorted now to which I said oh i dont want anything I just thought it was downright off to do that ( and walked out of the shop on principle!)

    Hope he got a good kicking ( well not literally!)
