Homemade hobnobs?

Sounds like a bit too much bicarb

Just thought I would let you folks know that I have just made some more Hob Nobs but used some Billingtons soft cane brown sugar instead of white.

They were lovely before when I used normal white granulated but they are absolutely gorgeous using light brown sugar instead.

I only tried it as our local B&M stores are selling 500g bags of Billingtons soft brown and soft dark brown sugar for 39p a bag.

Gosh! Nearly 100,000 hits on Twink's thread - well done, Twink :j:j

I really must get back to baking more Twinks. It'll help me on the "avoiding plastic for a month" challenge I'm doing too. Though, to be honest, I managed to cut out biscuits entirely for 4 months and my trousers fit properly now ... dangerous territory here :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I'm sure it's in here somewhere but not sure where.

Can someone please tell me at what stage they add their chocolate chips to their mixture?

I did make some with choc in once but it melted and I don't think the chips were big enough as you couldn't really taste them. Perhaps I should have also put some cocoa powder in.

Ta!

i add the chocolate chips after i have mixed everything together, but tend to add broken chocolate buttons as it has to be cadburyd chocolatefor me, and they do fine as long as the mix has cooled a bit before you pop them in...

Twink's hobnobs are very popular in my house. I made loads on Friday. I had a siesta on Sunday while OH and the boys watched the Ireland rugby game. When I got up I noticed the biscuit tin on the table and not a hobnob in sight. I need to make some today and I think I will need to hide them.

there is bound to be somebody who doesnt like the hobnobs
