What to do with 300g of Digestive Biscuits?

Cazzdevil

2 ideas for you:

1. Sit a marshmallow on top of a digestive and micro it for 10 seconds, then squish another digestive spread with jam on top, then dunk it in melted chocolate and leave to cool. Hey presto, homemage Wagon Wheels.

2. Make tiffin!! Recipe below:

4oz butter/marg
1 tablespoon sugar (any kind)
2 tablespoons hot chocolate powder (I've used Ovaltine in the past too)
1 tablespoon golden syrup (mmmmm)
2 tablespoons raisins (or a combo of dried fruit/glace cherries)
8oz rich tea/digestive biccies (or a mix of left-overs, whatever's in the biscuit barrell will suffice), crushed to smitherines
6oz chocolate, melted

Melt the sugar, syrup and butter in a pan. Add the raisins and chocolate and bring to the boil. Allow to thicken slightly (2 or 3 minutes). Add the crushed biscuits and mix thoroughly. Press the mix into a medium sized swiss roll type tin (about 7" square). Pour the melted chocolate over the top, spread out evenly, then bung it in the fridge to set and cut into whatever size bits you think you can manage.

Recipe:

Take one good strong teabag, preferably Yorkshire Tea.
Place in large mug and add boiling water.
Leave for 4 minutes to brew.
Stir and remove teabag.
Add a drop of milk.

Take digestive biscuit, check for structural integrity (i.e. cracks). Assuming the biscuit is sound, dunk in tea for 3.5 seconds. Eat biscuit.

a classic!

As for adding the biccies to yoghurt, I would just crumble them up ( could pop them in plastic bag and use rolling pin with gusto for extra therapeutic value ) and add to natural or greek yoghurt with fresh/dried/tinned/frozen fruit !

Maybe you could incorporate them into a crumble ? Half normal crumble mix, half smooshed up digestives ?

i tried a variation of flossyblog's recipe last night and it went down a treat. crushed digestives, mandarins, vanilla flavoured bio yogurt, topped with a mandarin and grated choco to decorate. very light, refreshing and satisfying

I havn't had these since I was a kid (about 20 years ago eeek) but I used to love them.

Drain a can of pineapple rings (drink juice or freeze in ice cube tray for later)
Pop one onto a digestive and top with dream topping
Sprinkle a bit of flake on top.
mmmmmmmm

for grown ups i suppose you could use whipped dream instead of dream topping.
mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm

^these all sound delicious: I wonder if it can be said that digestive biscuits are in any way 'healthy': they are made from wheat aren't they? but then the sugar content is probably very high and the wheat is probably highly processed during the cooking stage(s)

well personally i would say they are healthy .. both wheat and sugar are natural products arnt they and anything natural HAS to be healthy .. its the law!!
lol
seriously tho .. on the packet i have here (just cheap asda sp ones) they say on them 67 cals/2.9g fat (1.4g saturates) per bikkie so they are not too bad if you can stick to just one or 2 lol

Melt some chocolate and throw in some broken digestives and marshmallows (and dried fruit and/or nuts if you fancy!) and then drop tsps of the mixture onto greaseproof paper and leave in the fridge until hardened... mini rocky road bites!
