Homemade hobnobs?

Solwaykid

Twink, these hobnobs have become a form of currency here. So far I've traded them for an overnight stay in a holiday cottage by the sea and some computer expertise. Chocolate covered of course..

i will hypnotise you from afar to buy the flour :rotfl:

Ha ha, your hypnosis worked because I went to look for the flour, but Sainsbury's weren't influenced because the shelves were bare and they only had wholemeal bread flour, so I didn't buy any!!:rotfl:

Well twink, I calculated points from the recipe using Clover and as I said, I did it on 40 biscuits and unfortunately they work out at 1.5 points each. A bit of a shock I am afraid! If you want to let me know the name of the low fat marg you are planning on using, I will recalculate using 50 biscuits.

Dare I ask how many points they are when made with butter please? (Countrylife unsalted butter if it makes any difference)

On further reflection may I eat humble hobnob pie. I see that there is no coconut in this recipe which Anzacs have. If anybody is interested in the Anzac recipe let me know & I can post it. It's very much the same and tastes :drool:.

Twink please forgive me. They are definately YOUR hobnobs.

aussielass i knew you would see sense in the end but coconut would be good as would the almonds someone else used, not together though
skipkoo i have bought asdas smartprice reduced fat spread, just looking see it says not suitable for baking, didnt notice in the shop, oh well will buy a different one and get back to you

I think maybe a bit of ground ginger would work quite well too :drool:

Chameleon, when made with butter, based on 40 biscuits per batch, they are then........2 points, sorry!

So I ate the equivalent of 24 points worth of food just on biscuits alone yesterday then!!! :eek: :eek:

Can't remember the daily/weekly points allowance now but I think I'll be needing to join up again pretty smartish at this rate! :rotfl:

24 points is the daily amount for some people, lots more people have under 24 points as their daily amount and they are still classed as "overweight" I dont know why I am doing this to myself,calculating points etc. so depressing, makes me want to eat one just to cheer myself up! The slippery slope I am afraid
