Hi crazychick,

I made Aussie's Anzacs last week and they were a lovely variation on twinks hobnobs....not better mind, just as lovely as twinks. OMG I'm going to cause a war here!

Tee hee - I've just put my first batch of Twink's hobnobs in the oven, and the house is filled with the most delicious smell.
One biscuit recipe I've used again and again because the kids love how easy it is is for chocolate biscuits:
8 oz s r flour
8 oz marg or butter
4 oz caster sugar
2 oz cocoa
Mix marg and sugar. Add flour and cocoa, and make a dough. Make balls (like Twink's recipe!) - I make them just larger than walnut-sized. Put on greased tray, and flatten with a fork (I've always dipped the fork in cold water as it seems to work better). Bake for 10 mins at Gas 5 (190 C). Yum. This makes lots of biscuits - around 60-65. But they disappear very, very quickly! :rotfl:

Mmmmm, thanks guys (thanks button not working yet again)

Thanks Pink, this will give me plenty to read.

The chocolate biscuits just sound like the hob nobs! Do you mix the marg & sugar to a crumbly mix?

Off to read the links now!!!

I'm cr** at baking normally but I made these cookies in order to use up some leftover peanut butter and they were really easy, really quick and tasted amazing...

the recipe made loads of dough so I froze some in a sausage and then whenever i wanted cookies I just slice a couple rounds off and popped in oven for an extra couple mins!! yum!!!

The ones I make are very easy (my boyfriend makes them:eek: ) and are flexible depending on what bits and bobs you have available.

Im not 100% sure on the quantites though but basically they are oaty biscuits with fruit and nuts. You melt golden syrup, butter and sugar in a pan and mix all the other ingredients in a bowl, combine the melted bits with the dry stuff and shape into biscuits with your hand. Bake for 15 mins on 170c.

Let me know if you want the recipe. The biscuits are gorgeous, me and my boyf both have them for lunch every day and we make them every weekend now.

Hi Crazychik: no, just cream them together really well before adding the flour and cocoa. It's similar to Twink's in that there's no rolling. I copied this out some 20 years ago - can't remember where I got it, and it's always one I come back to. It's easy and makes smashing biscuits.
