While hiding from the storm yesterday, I opened a packet of Lu Le Petit Beurre biscuits. They were delicious, so much so that I seem to have eaten the whole packet.
Do you have anything you would like to recommend? It may be a foodstuff or product you have tried, or perhaps a household ‘handy hint’.

I’m a huge fan of Nairn super seeded oatcakes but couldn’t get any today so I tried the cheese ones instead. OMG! I’m going to have to lock them away, as I can’t stop eating them.

Ringtons ginger snaps 😋😋

Nairn GINGER oatcakes or ones with dried fruit in with Philadelphia soft cheese spread on top

Hit granary toast spread with butter and thick cut marmalade ( preferably from our local farm shop- expensive but worth it)

Hot not hit sorry

Greyduster , I had to stop buying the cheese Nairn oatcakes as I could not stop eating them they are delicious . My other favourite is a McDonalds Chocolate milkshake! luckily the nearest Mc Donald's to us is 25 minutes away otherwise I would be drinking them all the time.

Morrisons chocolate chip shortbread biscuits don’t last long here. Their fudge is pretty good as well

Barry's Masterblend teabags. If you like a really strong brew!

I make lots of cranberry sauce for Christmas dinner, then spend January eating it over ice cream!! My treat, January is definitely not for dieting.

Tunnocks chocolate marshmallows.
Can get through several in one sitting.

My grandchildren used to love these and the caramel wafers.

Magnums Classic. I buy the mini ones - Yum.

Non Granny Mol.
Have you thought of growing globe artichokes.
If you have a patch of well drained soil each plant produces lots once the get going and they are frost hardy too
Mine are on quite a steep bank and do dry out in the summer
Those that do flower are a pretty lilac colour

Lidl did special edition crisps for Christmas - parmesan & truffle. They were amazing, I have a dwindling stock...

As part of my healthy eating/weight loss kick I bought some Kallo veggie cakes Beetroot flavour. I love 'em! Such a good relacement for biscuits and cake... I have about two a day!

Biscoff ice cream on sticks, like a mini Magnum but yummier!

Nanny27 Mon 27-Jan-25 15:49:32

Toffee popcorn. Oh yeah!

Mmm, Cafe Noir biscuits Kim19! Not had them for years….
Anyway, currently enjoying Malted milk chocolate biscuits - one or two a day hit the spot!

@ ViceVersa Do please try marmite on toast with baked beans with a splash of Worcester sauce in when cooking (warming) the beans. Ideal

A dark chocolate McVities Digestive biscuit spread with Roquefort blue cheese - it really works.

Oh yes, I've done that before - and had Marmite toast with poached eggs on top.

Dark sea salt chocolate coated liquorice , Xmas gift oh so delicious they do other flavoured chocolate to …. Not sure if make and can’t find them anywhere at moment

Bulow liquorice coated in chocolate are the very best, they do so many different flavours hard to choose.

Baileys is also brilliant over ice cream, in coffee or in hot chocolate or just drinking it with a straw!! grin

do you mean the teacakes? I can eat several boxes if you let me I absolutely love them

I put my Tunnocks teacakes in the freezer. They are delicious, I came across this on TikTok, it’s suggested by an American posting and now I’m hooked.

I am too and do the same, but they are good any time and anyhow. Do you eat them in one mouthful or lick them???

I can’t resist the triple chocolate salted caramel deep dish cookies from The Cookie Mill which I get online and they are delivered straight to my door!
