havent done that but have thought of it, suppose if you made it the same thickness as the biscuits the time would be the same but if thicker maybe a bit longer, trial and error i think, suppose you could add some sunflower seeds etc, wasnt to keen on the dried apricot in them but sultanas might work and cherries, let us know how you get on

I made some more the other day. Dried cranberry. And chocholate chunks ( a bar of Lidl chocolate cut up into bits)
I took some into work.

Snow off a dyke

Next time I am gonna try white chocolate. And maybe a coconut one
Thanks Twink:T

:rotfl:

Ohhh ... I didnt realise twink.
But in fairness of research I really need to try them now :rolleyes:
I am sure they will be fab ... they have such a great basic recipe behind them.

The first time I made the hobnobs, they turned out very moist underneath and quite soft and chewy.

I suspected too much marge to grease the baking tray and possibly too high a temperature.

This time I did less greasing of the baking tray, used slightly less golden syrup, reduced the oven temperature and made them a bit smaller (they had turned out the same size as supermarket store-baked cookies the first time!).

Much better this time around. Not that there was anyting really wrong with them the first time - they still got demolished before I got my fair share of them!!!

Ollie if they were moist underneath maybe needed a little longer cooking and it is difficult to be exact with the syrup, if i am feeling mean i get 55-60 out of my mix but usually just over 40 biscuits

Well that would mean Twink usually gets 60 out of every batch.
