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

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.
