I have a couple of Hobnobs most evenings with a nice cuppa. Can't beat them! I haven't seen Hobnob creams anywhere though, I used to love those.

THAT is the problem. I have resigned myself to only thinking about them. :)

I like to see a "Hobnobcop" in action, who bets he would crumble in a stand off

Actually I meant if I buy a packet, they're very unlikely to last more than 24h :o

ahh.. I know what you mean now! My gf actually rations my evening biscuit intake as she is concerned for my health. I think she is more concerned that I eat all the biscuits before she gets a chance to have one.. either way I suppose it's good for me in the long run.

I do really want a hobnob now though.. May have to take a trip to the supermarket this evening!

Of course the chocolate covered ones are the best.

Hobnobs are cookies? It sounded like it was something 'gross and illegal' according to a certain episode of iCarly. Do hobknobs taste bad or something?

What I always liked about Hobnobs was that they were unlike other biscuits. Putting chocolate on them makes them like others.

I see they are in the Sobeys flyer this week, but Dad's oat cookies are a decent enough alternative.

Have to disagree with you on the chocolate.. they're definitely the best ones!

I also saw them in PriceSmart yesterday.. wait.. it's Save On now. I saw them in Save On.

They sell them in Walmarts that have the 'British' foods section. A small pack is $5, cant bring myself to buy them at that price.

Don't have the British section in our Walmart.. but in Save on & Superstore they're around $3.50.

If you cut the top disc off the cellphone and insert it back into the tube, the top biscuit always remains fresh. Does anyone else on here feel that their life has no meaning? :(

They're not around long enough to have any freshness issues here.

When the mother comes to visit this summer I intend on giving her a little shopping list of biscuits/chocolate etc. that I miss from home. Only trouble is when I tried to think of what I miss.. my mind blanked!
