Party Ring Posse party on down here, all biscuits welcome

[Katiekitty]

I like licking the icing of Party Rings

And on a Tuesday, I like some Garibaldis at elevenses

Et tu?

I used to like fig rolls until my gran decided it would be a great idea to disinfect everything in her home ...including herself with TCP

Everytime I visited her my nostril hair dissolved and when she offered the fig rolls to go with the tepid tea she made, all I could taste in my mouth was TCP

So TCP and fig rolls have been firmly put in my room 101 of biscuity snacks

Ah, I do love a Garibaldi though Tomhardy the sheer delight of pulling out a whole, un-broken sheet of them from a packet is unparalleled!

before I had my own dd I would pick my DN up from nursery and he would always save the fig roll from his lunch box. It always made me feel very special.

I'm going to be foolish brave and announce that I HATE PARTY RINGS.

Chocolate caramel digestives are the best though! Unfortunately I can't buy them as I have no self control.

sevendwarves all biscuits welcome, you are among friends, fear not for your dislike of Party Rings.

Like life, if we all favoured the same things, it would be a dull old party

So, what's your technique for grappling with the caramel digestives then?

My view is that all biscuits must be dunked.

When I'm PM it will be the first policy I introduce.

For those that want the recipe for Peanut Butter Cookies here we go They are the simpelist biscuit ever.

6oz caster suger
7oz crunchy or smooth peanut butter (I buy supermarkets cheapest)
1 egg
1 teaspoon bicarb soda

Heat oven to 180degC

Bung Sgar and PB in the food processor and whizz until mixed. Add egg and bicarb and whizz until mixed.

Line baking sheet with parchment. Roll the mix into balls and flatten and put on the tray.

Put in the oven for 10-15 mins.

EAT!!

Not my own recipe but my friend posted it on her Facebook and I pinched it.

Just diving in here with a sudden thought:

The Chocolate Finger

Yum!

I know that the plural of anecdotes isn't data and all that, but I have a harrowing tale for you all.

After a difficult night of no sleep with DD who has gastroenteritis, then a day of looking after her, I rewarded myself with the king of all wafer-based snacks: the Tunnock's caramel bar. But lo! It wasn't chewy! No fricking toffee to be found! It was basically a pimped-up KitKat.

Beat that disappointment. (Don' even try, you can't.)

Glad to be of service Realeyes. Hope you enjoy

Jam Mallows? JAM BLOODY MALLOWS ?

They are <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.ie/imgres?imgurl=www.okaneirishfoods.co.uk/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/mallows_home.jpg&imgrefurl=www.okaneirishfoods.co.uk/id9.html&usg=__GnXsjpWS6zjqItjPgAHAXGhkKxA=&h=195&w=300&sz=19&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=lM8uFTpOrwwumM:&tbnh=131&tbnw=201&ei=Y_1FTZePOYO0hAfUoLW_AQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmikado%2Bbiscuit%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26rlz%3D1C1DVCF_enIE377IE377%26biw%3D1600%26bih%3D775%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=442&vpy=293&dur=4250&hovh=156&hovw=240&tx=122&ty=37&oei=Y_1FTZePOYO0hAfUoLW_AQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=36&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mikado's!

Oh no loopy, you must have been devastated! Have you recovered yet?

Still breathing deeply to get over the shock. The question now is - return the rest of the pack or try again?

Sorry, you cannot beat a custard cream, the baked beans of the biscuit world, always yummy. Dd2 loves party rings, blame her parent and toddler group, they start them off early on the old party ring here.

Ginger nuts are the ultimate dunking biscuit - sturdy enough to withstand the dunk.

I'd totally forgotten the mallow fanjos - really soft biscuit base IIRC?

I have dim recollections of some biscuits from the early/mid 70's that were a child's delight - I hope I didn't just dream them. They had pictures of monsters on the pack, and were really bright colours - pink and green come to mind. Round biscuits, about 9/12 in a pack, sort of macaroonish texture (thinking coconut macaroons not the posh French ones). Am I on my own there?

Ranty, should there be some flour in your recipe?

I submit for your approval: The Jam Cream. The best of both the jammy dodger and the custard cream, and easy to seperate the halves.

Fuzzy nope! no flour :)

It is the easiest recipe ever.

Were they always called Mikados though buzz?

Maybe there's been a fight over the name cos <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.caterersearch.com/assets/getasset.aspx%3Fitemid%3D21369&imgrefurl=www.caterersearch.com/Articles/2009/05/01/327672/Mikado-chocolate-biscuit-sticks-from-Kraft-Foods.htm&h=150&w=150&sz=11&tbnid=V3BsAUNHQUA4dM:&tbnh=96&tbnw=96&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmikado%2Bbiscuits&zoom=1&q=mikado+biscuits&hl=en&usg=__4h6chiGCYhULijzyOlWTMyGvPwU=&sa=X&ei=PSNHTcvXBcSohAemvrGhAg&ved=0CB0Q9QEwAw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these are the current version it seems.

I just look at the fanjos biscuits in the packet- sort of social sight reading

No they a re Mikados in Ireland which is where the company and the biscuits come from, they changed the name in the UK to Jam Mallows. Do you even have chocolate Kimberlys in your god-forsaken country?

Has anyone ever tried that trick with australian tim-tims? or penguins?

You bite off 2 corners diagonally opposite to each other (small bites)

Then dunk and hold one end in tea or coffee so one hole is under the liquid and suck through the other hole like a straw.

Hot tea melts the filling while biscuit stays intact for a while inside the chocolate coating.

Then eat hot/melty biscuit.

Is heavenly with caramel tim-tims.

I luurve chocolate Kimberleys!

Can find them very occasionally in big supermarkets, especially in areas with a large Irish population. Not seen any for ages

The Mikados are in the ethnic food section of my local Morrisons

Beachholiday, we used to do that with chocolate fingers in coffee. Have to time it right so they don't disintegrate into the cup

First one to post a picture of these magnificent sounding biscuity friends gets a prize!

I want to see a Kimberley

I haven't lived!

Oi and TrollyMc I spend longer than was neessary today browsing the aisles for the FLAVOURED Jammie Dodgers...

Not a whiff of them...

Where, o-where might they be?

I didnt know there were other jammy dodger flavours either! I will have to try them.
My technique for jammy dodgers is to nibble round the jammy part, or to lick the jam then eat the biscuit
