Ooooo, that's a toughie  ???

I was definitely going to write Digestive until I saw HH's answer - now I'm torn between Digestives and Gold Bars!! ;D

Can't decide between Tunnocks caramel wafer/caramel log/teacake! Is a Tunnocks teacake a biscuit or a cake?

Tricky question!

oh dear, this is hard to decide.  I like chocolate hobnobs, mint viscount, mcVities limited edition ones, with orange in, covered in chocolate .....gold bars, mcvities shortcake covered in chocolate.  Ooh, and turnocks wafer bars are lovely, and their marshmallow thingys!!

I  think if I could only have one, it would probably be Gold bars though!!

Wednesday lunchtime - crabbit about being at work, need a treat  has to be a tunnocks caramel wafer
rainy Sunday afternoon, everybody else has gone out (in my dreams) and I'm settling on the sofa to watch a really cheesy movie - it s a whole packet of garabaldi biscuits............ Just don't tell anyone!

Jacobs Cream Cracker ... it's such a versatile biscuit. Great dry or with a little butter or jam. Works well with almost any cheese. Great to break and use with soup.

Did I mention you can build houses out of them?

Now I love jacobs too but all that butter and cheese and of course a bit of Branstone pickle!!!

...all that butter and cheese is very slimming.

Did you know it's National Make Up Facts Day?

(note: I may have just made that up)

Being an Aussie, I have a recipe for Anzac biscuits.  They are an oatie biscuit made with golden syrup.  They turn out flat and gooie.  But if you change it to maple syrup - they are flat and crispie.  I thought it was amazing.  Going to try with honey next time and see what turns out.
