Biscuits

Thought this thread needed reviving.

Had a box of these the other day, with milk of course.

Forgot how good these were...........

Yesssss! Borders Ginger covered in dark chocolate are the best. No duking though lol

Oh they are so good. I take a bite with a glug of ice cold milk, the chocolate hardens up, and it just goes into a lovely mushed up explosion of taste.

Speaking of Borders, I'm just about to crack into these.........

Not tried the "sharing pack" before, no-one's here to share them with so I'll probably have a "all to myself pack"........

I found a solution to the problem. The supermarket never has Loackers. They sell real fast. Online shopping! The fun never ends when they've got a warehouse full of baked goods!

Green and Blacks chocolate is good! I've had their selection packs of small chocolate bars at Christmas before.

Yeah, those are great! I like the Sea Salt and milk chocolate one. Sounds vile, but it's real good. Like a brownie without flour!

Have you been to Cadbury World?

Yeah, it's not far away from me. I haven't been in a long time though, and since Mondelez took them over I doubt I will again!

Saw these in the farm shop earlier and thought of you

Thanks! You should have bought the Raisin Melts! I demolished the ones in that big pack!

These are Loackers, you should both give them a try. Imagine pink wafers, but Nutella based. Basically cheaper Ferrero Rocher, in wafer form!

It wouldn't surprise me if they were! Bet he's got books and books all about different biscuits :-) I imagine that the biscuit aisle of his local supermarket is completely bare too :-) I always try to get past the sweetie aisle before my children notice it!!!

Green and Blacks chocolate is good! I've had their selection packs of small chocolate bars at Christmas before. Dark chocolate and ginger is good, so is their milk chocolate with Butterscotch. I've not eaten any chocolate recently so I can't comment on the current quality of Cadbury chocolate. I've been to Cadbury World a couple of times, the last being in 2013. It's not quite as good as Willy Wonker's chocolate factory though :-) Have you been to Cadbury World?

Galaxy is pretty rich. It takes a while for me to get through one. Green and Blacks dark chocolate and ginger is a favourite, and their Hazelnut and raisin. Cadbury's have dropped the ball, it's almonds and sultanas now, nor raisin and hazelnut in Fruit and Nut. Matter of fact, *** Cadbury's, the new owners have ruined the whole Bournville concept. People lost jobs and homes, plus the chocolates subpar now. I like Bournville the way it used to be, nice place and nice idea.

Trust you to go straight to the biscuit thread as soon as you’re online  

I love the taste of galaxy chocolate but it’s too sweet, I can just about manage one bite of it before it makes my gums hurt ️

I'm gonna have to investigate those I think, hope they're cheaper too.

They aren't much cheaper, but they are different. I like both but I do alternate because they are different.

Bookworm said:

yea not sure about the coffee flavour though, I like coffee but only as the drink and not as a flavouring for anything else.

They do them in almond too, think thin Dorias!

Bookworm said:

As for the Doria, they'd take some topping, I will have to try them crumbled up on strawberries and cream, last Christmas I was dunking them in Baileys OMG they were amazing....

That sounds amazing, it would work just great for me! Have you ever tasted Baileys cheese cake? Whoever came up with that knew what they were doing!

Or just a BAD case of being high and not realising when it is not a good time to drive, biscuits can wait right! Or would you go to the shop at 4am to get biscuits?

If you saw how much the guy loves Hob Nobs, you'd see how he'd venture out at 4am to get Hob Nobs. He's built like a rugby player, but apart from the Hob Nobs has a very lean diet!

I never use catering chocolate when I'm cooking with chocolate! I always use proper chocolate, if I wanted to taste wax then I'd use a candle!

Lololol, it is that waxy! On the subject of cheap choclate though the old Tesco Value milk chocolate was just like Galaxy, almost identical! Cost about a third of the price at one point too!

Those are just delicious

The Borders or the Anna's? I'd bury a pack of either right now!

That sounds like a BAD case of the munchies!

Ikr! Problem was he was getting them for the morning, he didn't need them then! That's a problem right there!

Catering chocolate is terrible!

This stuff was like wax. You could have sealed letters with it!
