The chocolate dipping is a very good idea

I made mine huge last time DD and I made them... I got 24 from the mix So they were rather more cakey than biscuity, but they were delicious.

Thanks for the recipe, twink :T

24 :eek: they must have been huge, the recipe actually says they make 60 though 45-50 is more like it

I have been asked to make a batch of these for boyf and the lads!! They're going in a minibus to France for the weekend. Bet they don't last long!!!

I've never got near 40.
Can't get myself to make the balls small enough.
They taste great whatever the size.

Twink - you are sooooooooooo bad!!!!! Mine were gigantic and I've eaten 8!!!!!! That's it for treats for the rest of the week. At least hubby likes them too!

I always make 36 from this quantity of ingredients - three trays of 12.

I make balls based on the size of a teaspoon, and the finished articles are about the size of actual hobnobs, perhaps a tiny bit bigger.

i am so glad i now use this recipe the 3 kids and Dh go mad if there is not a tin full in the house at all times lol. know i know that i was favouring the anzacs BUT i have now come across a away where the kids have to fight me for the hobnobs ........ i started to make double the batch and freeze half of it in a sausage shape in the freezer then cutting the sausage into 8 and putting in the oven straight from frozen well now for me they are perfect they are fat and soft in the middle and i still want to eat them even if they have cooled or been in the tin for over a day lol now making more of hobnobs than i have anzacs.

so we now have 3 types of hobnob in our house
a mummy hobnob fat and chewy ( which is how i am gonna end up if i keep eating them the way i am lol)
an daddy hobnob which is a bigger normal one
and sprog hobnobs which are smaller one

oh i do hope Aussie reads this :rotfl:

sounds like you have perfected the hobnob making, well done
