Lyons Toffee Pops 120g x 4

Product Information

There are only two mint biscuits in the biscuit aisle, the Mint Slice and the Mint Treat. They sound the same. They even look the same. They are not the same. Whenever there are two of the same biscuit from Arnott’s and Griffin’s, believe me when I say Arnott’s will be better (see also: Tim Tams, Digestives). A Mint Slice is what you put out when you didn’t make a dessert for your dinner guests and they’ve annoyingly decided to hang around for a cup of tea. It’s a little bit classy, literally only because there’s mint in it. But it works. A Mint Slice makes you feel sophisticated and proper and is arguably the grown-up less horny Toffee Pop. When searching for biscuits in the New World online shop and sorting by popularity, lowest to highest, this abomination was the first result. If I ate a peanut butter biscuit my face would turn into one giant hive but people seem to love peanut butter and I’ve heard good things about these expensive biscuits.

Griffin’s and Arnott’s each have their unique strengths but for some reason Griffin’s also tries to beat Arnott’s at their own game. Mint Treat, you’re never gonna be Mint Slice. Give it up.

Make sure your toffee sauce is cool but runny enough to drizzle over the sides of both cake layers - use a large spoon and drip, or pour into a sauce bottle and go around the outsides. Once again I have committed to something foolishly. I didn’t realise there’d be more biscuit options than chip options.

For the shortbread, first, chop the butter into rough chunks then add it with the rest of the ingredients to a machine bowl with the paddle attachment. In 2016, Burton's sold its licence to make Cadbury-branded biscuits to Mondelēz International (the owners of Cadbury), although they are still made in Burton's factories. [6] If I’m being completely honest, I’m not sure why these are so high on this list. They surely don’t deserve to be. Putting them all in that group at the start. It’s like every Countdown brand biscuit is actually made from exactly the same stuff and just painted to look like different flavours. What a waste! Just pool your money and make one good biscuit! Ideas like this are why I will never be rich.In case you haven’t noticed, I generally believe that every biscuit would be elevated with the addition of chocolate. Never is that more evident than seeing how much better the chocolate krispie is versus the plain krispie. In a world without restaurants, cafes and bakeries, all that remains for supper is biscuits. And oh so many. Arguably too many. A polarising biscuit. Ultimately very plain and I don’t really know what the flavours are supposed to be but sometimes not knowing is nice. Jaffa thins are great. Whether or not you prefer them to the original is largely based on how many you plan to eat. Eating one jaffa thin is better than eating one original thin. But as you consume more, the jaffa drops and the original rises. There are some biscuits that every brand has tried (choc chip, digestive) and some that are originals (Squiggles, Oreos). Hundreds and thousands should be an original.

Make sure your cakes are completely cool, then cut in half (trim off the top if needed to get even layers). I’m allergic to both peanuts and almonds so I didn’t eat these. But the Finest range from Pams is surprisingly good so I’ll confidently place them here as I’m sure they’re… fine. A double felony has been committed. First crime: taking the name of a beloved biscuit and then not being anything like it. Second crime: being bad. There are two ways that biscuits can be eaten: on their own (cold), or with a drink (hot). Chocolate Butternut Snap is a medallist in both categories: it’s the second best biscuit to eat on its own (behind Yellow Squiggle) and the third best to dip (behind Tim Tam Double Coat and gingernuts). This is why it has to be number one. Meryl wishes she had such range.

Perhaps in 2019 we would have been fooled into accepting a top 10 list, or even a top 20. Not in this climate. In times of crises, every biscuit counts. Show me another biscuit that can be dunked into a hot drink, held there for 45 seconds, and still keep its shape, and I will take Griffin’s Gingernuts off this list entirely. But until that day, which will never come, Gingernuts will remain a staple in every New Zealand household. Shortbread. Somehow both underrated and extremely meh at the same time. Griffin’s doesn’t do it that well. Beat together oil and sugar in a mixer on a medium speed until well incorporated (it won't be fluffy like butter but should come together after a couple of minutes). This biscuit shouldn’t work. It’s so thin, the icing is mostly flavourless, and hundreds and thousands are notoriously just colour, no flavour. So why are they so bloody yum? It almost makes me angry thinking about it.

I've forgotten exactly what Google Buns are like - are they some kind of bun or sponge mixture with a giant currant filled with sherbet in the middle, or is there more to them than that? I suppose I might start by mixing up some bun or sponge mixture (whichever it is). I don't know whether sherbet can be cooked? To be on the safe side, I think I'd cook the buns and then make a hollow at the top in the middle, stuff currants and sherbet in the hollow, and replace part of the bun I'd hollowed out on the top. Can't quite imagine what it would taste like!

Place the egg whites and sugar in a medium saucepan with a small amount of water - place on a medium heat and whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
