Twink I think you've run off to Australia and pinched our recipe called ANZACS and renamed them Hobnobs.

Oooooh the cheek.

oh and i thought you wouldnt find out the recipe came from Bread, Cake and biscuits, 500 recipes by mary norwak a 1980 book , my ds2 used to love australian crunch at school dinners
safe journey home Aussielass and it was lovely meeting you

I am going to have a go at these .I shall use some honey, as my builder who is working on my house at the moment keeps bees as a hobby and kindly gave me a large jar of his bees honey .

i have never tried honey Jackie0 but i am sure it would give the biscuits a lovely flavour, they are easy to make, you get a lot from a batch and lovely with a cuppa and whats more they must do us good with the porridge oats in them

I'll take you at your word for that, twink:D So it'd be unhealthy not to make (and eat!!) some. After everyone's rave reviews, I'm champing at the bit!

I'm going to make some today, what sugar do you advise using? I've got to get it right.

Looking forward to my cuppa later!!!

Healthwise I would say they score points because of a)oats - slow release carb, and b) no additives. I better go and make some more!

Just waiting for Tesco delivery as I used all the marg and then I'm cracking on with them. If I was going to put a bit of dried fruit in (advisable?), would I have to take something else away?

twink

myrtle i just use ordinary granulated sugar and i am not sure about the fruit but worth a try, i thought about the choc chips but put them in at the wrong time
i have been making these for years but they are good for dgs1 before any lengthy exercise as he is diabetic

I too made some of these and they are fantastic. As I have two chocolate lovers in the house I put melted chocolate on the top of some, so I now have plain hobnobs and chocolate hobnobs. Very moreish.

Yummy! Never thought of that.

I was going to put a bit of dried fruit in but chickened out in case they went wrong and didn't taste as good as last time - 'if it's not broken....'
