  • yum! - just made my first batch today. I childmind 1 after school for 3 boys who have hollow legs and I was getting a bit fed up with spending so much on after school snacks ( I dont get paid for it, and the mum never packs anything for them) - + my 3. Will be doing these, but will make up the mix and freeze it ahead of time. I'll try the melon baller - at last a use for it !!!

  • The mixture freezes fine. The biscuits don't last long enough to make it to the freezer in here :o

  • thanks jackie glasgow, thats our problem too though:o, thats why i wanted to no if they freeze, i have 4 kids and me and hub love them to, especially lately ive been making them thin and putting choc on them yumyum:p i could do with making 3 quantities worth on a sunday night so i can freeze 2 portions worth then cook when needed;), i think i will either freeze in little balls (open freeze then bag) or flatten, opened freeze, then bag, i may be able to cook from frozen then? what do you think?:think:

    This is so good :D Not so good for my waistline :o
    I just traybaked the 'original' (a half batch) this afternoon and scoffed about 1/3 of it. Made with butter and reduced sugar @170g, may even reduce more next time. Thanks Twinks :T:T:T

    It depends on how you obtain it and how you use it.

    Have you sold your soul to the devil?
  • Just have to say these are amazing! I find they work better as a traybake - the uncooked mixture is also LUSH!
