Homemade hobnobs?

newmrslockwood

Thought i would jump on the bandwaggon and make some hobnobs. Everyone over on the flylady thread are making them. just got my first batch out, Had a little tasting session with 2yr old and 4yr old. Overall consensus was YUM!
Thanks Twink!

Just made some of twinks hob nobs I got 26 out of the mix and just tried one and they are yum! Next time i do some i will do them a bit smaller i think as theyre a bit soft in the middle but crunchy on the outside..still yummy though.
Thanks Twink x

i usually get about 46 lka be sure to just melt the marg and no more, you should get more from the mix

Just made some,and frozen some balls unbaked-will bake them in a few days (saves me eating them.)

So they are 2 points each if you make them with butter. ... just out of interest, how many points is a "proper" bought hobnob?

Any how many points is a plain boring rich tea biccie?

Just need to compare before I think of making them as my rear end is meant to be decreasing - not increasing

we will have to ask skipkoo to calculate the biscuits using asdas sunflower spread, its suitable for baking and has 59g of fat per 100g, thats with getting 46 biscuits from the batch
hollydays sounds like freezing them like that might work, i will defrost some already baked, tomorrow

just did the calculation twink. I could not find Asda's sunflower spread listed so used the one that i could find that was Tesco's, and at 46 biscuits per batch it works out to 1.5 points per biscuit
1 rich tea biscuit works out to 0.5 points. Cant find ordinary hobnobs listed. I think chocolate hobnobs are 1.5 points each :eek:

thanks for that skipkoo, i have never done points but will mean something to others, if it was me i would probably be eating three rich teas but they would be filling for children or lunchboxes

I'm just thinking about never eating again....full stop!
