I don't really do sugar or biscuits but....

Aldi chocolate coated Oaties 55p - Best ever!

What about the jars of biscoff spread? Dangerous!!

Just spotted Tesco's version last night. Got some as a 'present' for DH, but he always shares...

I'm another Border Ginger nut. However, after reading here, I will certainly give Morrisons one go. They might even be cheaper as well as equally good. We'll see. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks Matelda .

I'll try Nairn's .
Choc chip and stem ginger and not so many calories !

For me, it's a good quality Scottish shortbread biscuit every time .
It all started with a gift in a lovely tartan tin when I was small .
M and S do a very good shortcake biscuit .
And recently, I had some nice ones in Tesco tin ( I think ).

Occasionally, I like a gingernut to dunk or a chocolate digestive
not to dunk !

I've had to explain the art of dunking when living abroad .
I could see that it was all totally inexplicable !
You have to be a Brit to dunk .

Tea is too wet without one .

We Brits eat more biscuits than any other nation .

I adore Borders Dark Chocolate Gingers....

Oh yes! The milk ones are OK but the dark chocolate ones . . . Mmmmmm!

I adore Borders Dark Chocolate Gingers....

Peppermint after dinner mints are my downfall. They are best served all day long in my opinion!

Don't buy M&S chocolate digestives - not good at all! (For purse or avoirdupois)

Nairn’s salted caramel oat biscuits are irresistible.

Am I the only one who hates lotus biscuits?!

Yes!!

I'll eat yours.

You’ll have to fight me for them !! ?

I ate two of them at the hairdressers this afternoon but my favourite are Morrison's The Best dark chocolate ginger biscuits, even better then Border's IMHO.

I so wish I'd been born with a 'savoury tooth' not a 'sweet tooth'. I've lost count of the diets I've tried and failed miserably and it;' always because of giving up the sweet stuff.

My DP has type 2 diabetes and has a really sweet tooth, and I was discussing various blood sugar issues with his quite stern diabetes nurse. I confessed to not being particularly empathetic because I don’t really have that much of a sweet tooth. I said my favourite ‘naughties’ were mostly savoury things - I love bread, chips, cheese, crisps etc. She looked me straight in the eye and said ‘that’s even worse’ and asked if I had been checked for pre diabetes !!

Same here, there must be a secret addictive ingredient that is not in other biscuits.

Definitely. Just discovered these and have put the pack away several times - considerably smaller each time !!

Our local ice-cream shop does all different flavours at times. Last one I tried was Lotus & Bailey's flavoured ice-cream. Delicious

Borders Dark Chocolate Gingers - to die for. Fortunately they are really big, so with a bit of effort I can stop at one...

Ooh, yes!

Must try those! I am partial to Bahlsen biscuits, but they're really expensive. £1.75 for only 9 biscuits in the pack. Really moorish!

the Aldi rip off version by a different name are rather good and a far better price! I suggest buying a pack of each for comparison purposes

Wait!

There is ice-cream?!?

@B9exchange

I'm with you on the Borders Dark Chocolate Gingers, I can just about stop after 2, they are absolutely gorgeous.

I'm going to start breaking them in half and try 3 halves because they're another one that's over £1.50 for a pack of 9.

The cream ones don't do it for me but the ice-cream I could kill for. I dare not buy it because once I've popped, I just can't stop!

lotus are trying to help you slim by making them smaller and smaller every time you get them! When I was being virtuous and avoiding all biscuits etc I used to buy my husband fig rolls. I really dislike them and he loved them, so a safe biscuit to have in the house. When my son was little my husband used to ask him if he wanted a sad or happy fig role, as you could turn it one way and it looked happy and the other sad. The big problem I have is ginger nuts. As a child my mother would be furious if we dunked them in the coffee. On a bad back day they are a very good temptation to fall for, and it is a self cuddle to have good coffee and ginger nuts to dunk in and a good book. Even better when the weather outside is awful and you can be pleased to be in the warm. Hope you can enjoy something this afternoon!
