    Fig Rolls. By Jacobs. There is another one I get from time to time in a local centra. Can't think of the name at the moment but they are premium macaroons type biscuits.

    I have to tell you all, these are the business, you would eat the entire pack in one sitting mind you easily, Like a biscuit, wafer, chocolate and nutella all in one,

    Does Faith's Caramel Squares count? I am always making them from that recipe for myself and others.

    I’d chance a bet that if you spilled out a packet of Jaffa cakes on the ground, the crows wouldn’t bother eating them.
    You might get one of them old street pigeons with the bad feet on them,having a sneaky old peck at the base of a few of them at that manky old brown sponge but that’s all.
    You’d be depending on ants to get rid of the rest.
    Spill out a rich tea or a digestive biscuit packet however and you’d have to run for cover with the stampede it would cause.

    These are what will eventually kill me. Forget all of those other drugs...I'll OD on these things one day trying to stuff too many of them down my throat.

    The dunnes stores simply better chocolate chip cookies are amazing if you can get them, they are sold out more often than not. Bourbon creams are also really good, cheaper own brand ones are best avoided though.

    I think I have located some Garibaldi biscuits (Tesco own brand), so will shoot down to Tesco later and see if they actually have them :)

    Haven't seen or eaten them for years.

    Favorite crisps, favorite bars and now favorite biscuits. I feel like someone should do a few tournaments on these. Could be good.

    Yea - maybe someone could organise it. Probably be more interesting than that favourite flag tournament floating around at the moment

    This one seems to split the biscuit community, you either love them or you loathe them it seems. Personally, I like them and there are many flavours to choose from, including some creative recipes. I only wish we had all of the Oreo flavours available in the US.

    In saying that, a Golden Oreo is no match for the humble Custard Cream

    Best thing to do with Oreo's is to make Oreo truffles (Difficulty level 2/10).

    2 packets into a blender, and blend the sh1t out of them, then pour into mixing bowl.
    Add in a small (187g) pack of Original Philadelphia cream cheese and mix well.
    Roll into ping pong sized balls (you should get about 16-20), then put in fridge for about 30 minutes.
    melt some chocolate of your choice (cooking milk or white chocolate from Tesco works best).
    using cocktail sticks, stab the balls, and then dip them into the melted chocolate ensuring the chocolate covers all the ball.
    place back into the fridge for the chocolate to harden.
    eat them and get really fat.

    Aldi own brand Milk Chocolate Digestives. Half the price & twice the taste of some big brand versions.

    Keep them in the fridge for the ultimate experience, as they snap when you bite!

    Yummy yummy...

    Very moreish, could quite easily polish off five or six with a cuppa :)

    I don't (can't) eat chocolate or biscuits so I have no idea, but I was buying for biscuit eaters and bought some oreos, with other biscuits, as I was vaguely under the impression that they were popular. No one ate any of the oreos. Not one.

    Owned by the same parent company as Cadbury’s, that is why they are everywhere.

    Good old mondelez. Ruined Cadbury’s chocolate and do believe that Oreos used to taste different too.

    Oreos are like off-flavoured toothpaste covered in sawdust. So are custard creams.
