Just made a batch using Dorset Cereals' muesli instead of oats. And they are going down very nicely thankyou very much...

Can Twinks hobnobs be made with butter instead of marg ?

Far to many posts to read.

They're nicely chewy in the middle and the fruit and nuts make a nice change - I made a half batch and still had 16 large biscuits!

Will put some chopped cherries in next time too. I love your hobnob recipe Twink... thanks so much for posting it!! And it's a great recipe for adapting too!!

glad they were such a success Eph i usually just add ginger or cinnamon to mine but there are loads of variations

I have to say a huge thanks or this recipe.I make a double batch every 2 weeks and have passed the recipe on to numerous people.
We recently had a kitchen upgrade and I lost my recipe so had to come and hunt it down again cos we cant live without these bicuits lol
