What's your favourite biscuit, and why?​

Hello, dearest members! How are you all doing? I (Jarred) hope you’re all fine and dandy!

I’m eating my favourite snack: Tim Tams! These little rectangles of biscuits and chocolatey perfection used to be my little fixes of heaven on Earth! As a child, I remember always asking for them whenever my folks would go out for a shop.

Oh, I remember the evil stare my sister would give me when she’d realise someone had been taking a sneaky bite (or ten…) out of her choccie stash, which would be followed by a short chase around the house. I’d always outrun her, though! Ah, the good times…

Anyway, I’ve since had a more muted appetite for sweets — part of growing up, maybe — but of course, now and then, I’d get that odd craving for some. And so, I bought a packet, only to be a bit disappointed that they’ve somehow shrunken. The thing is, I’m not entirely sure that they have, which places me in a weird spot of confusion and surprise.

In the end, it doesn’t matter: there are only a few Tim Tams to go, I'll eat them all in an instant, smaller biscuits be damned. Are they your favourite biscuit too? Or do you have another? I’d love to hear about which biscuit is your favourite and why!

Tell us all about it here!

My favourite is mint chocolate.

Arnotts Ginger nut biscuits for me, I love them and when Mum was alive we’d eat the whole packet between us with a good couple cups of coffee and dunk them in it. I still do it now.

I like Spicy Fruit Rolls and 100's and 1000's. Also shortbread biscuits at Christmas - the ones made in Scotland are delicious!

My wife gives me Purina biscuits (shaped like a bowtie) but they are very dry even after dunking in coffee. They come in 20kg bags and are very economical.

They are probably my fav too, checkout the sugar content % on the label.

I hope you bite both ends off and then use it as a drinking straw before devouring the remains of your Tim tams, Jarred. This was the go-to thing, back when I was a choc-aholic

I believe the correct term is the "Tim Tam slam" .... I have not tried this technique.

Actually I do I didn't think anyone else would

I'm so over chocolate at the moment. It seems to me that every dessert you pick up is chocolate flavoured and I've had enough. Offer me a good butter shortbread any time and I'll snatch your hand off!!

Oooh! Speaking of butter, I'm also always down for butter biscuits! The kind that come in large tins that mums and grandmums would always reuse as containers for sewing materials and other odds and ends

Aha! I haven't yet, @Pink lion... guess who'll be trying this out after he bought more this weekend

It was a mistake reading all your wonderful responses while having a cuppa... I feel like my shopping list has grown with every entry!
