thanks for that so that if we are using dried fruit or crystallized ginger we can reduce the sugar
I have reduced the sugar both if I am adding dried fruit and have also reduced it when adding nothing else, just using the original recipe with half the sugar. If I use dried fruit, I just add a handful to the rest of the ingredients and use 4oz sugar. Has always worked a treat.0 -
just put in 4 oz of sugar and a handful of chopped mixed nuts and a bit of cinnamon and they were lovely.it's so nice to have a flexible recipe that is fool proof!!!!did i spy on here once that someone had worked out the weight watchers points for twinks?anyone?would be quite handy to know for my hubby0

i have found so far from a mix of forty biscuits each one is 1.5 points though someone else said 1 point, bear in mind the biscuits are quite filling so one would do with a cuppa
a mix of 45 biscuits each one is 10 carbs0 -

Has anyone tried with the half & half sugar?
What amounts do you think I'd need?
Going to have a go later, so if no-one has yet had a go will post results.

dont think i have heard of anyone using that sugar, it would be great if you could let us know0 -
Turned out lovely, maybe a tad to sweet for my liking, next try I'll use 6oz of the half & half.
I also used honey because I thought I had a new tin of syrup and didn't.
Well worth the effort.
I am going to give some away tomorrow, as I am on slimming world diet at the mo and the recipe made rather a lot of biscuits.

Finally got round to making some hobnobs yesterday and really pleased with the result, they're a bit sweet for me but i dont have a sweet tooth.
Do you think I could get away with substituting some of the sugar for some demarara i have in the cupboard next time?
Run a drop in centre on Saturdays so going to take them and see how they go down.
thanks for the recipe :T

yes i think someone else has used demerara sugar but you can just reduce the sugar
i found this in the Sweet magazine
when using Splenda granulated replace every 100g, 31/2oz sugar with 8 tbsps sweetener
the equivalent in Canderel granules is about 10g or 1/2oz0
