  Nice, bit like a hobnob, but not as good, needs a layer of chocolate? Not worth the calories! Who measures golden syrup by weight?

  These were awful! Completely tasteless and bland - I wondered if perhaps there was some ingredients missing like sugar or spices/vanilla - even my children didn't like them . .very disappointing as they looked and sounded lovely ..

  We loved these! I used honey instead of golden syrup so they had a delicious flavour. My children couldn't get enough of them!

  Easy to make and everyone loved them. Great to add to a lunchbox.

  Disappointing - the overwhelming taste was the bicarb of soda - never a good outcome when baking. I imagine they would be better with only 1 tsp of bicarb, but really can't be bothered to make them again as there are nicer recipes with butter, syrup & oats!

  Made these with the children in our school cookery club. They loved making them and the reports back from parents were very favourable! It could just be the way our children work but the biscuits did turn out on the (very) large size!

  The biscuits looked lovely when baked, but were unfortunately a great disappointment when it came to the taste! All the family thought they needed to be sweeter, and the bicarbonate of soda was too overpowering. Won't be bothering with these again :(

  So easy to make and taste lovely! Not as overly sweet as some recipes that use golden syrup. I did end up with 40 rather than the 20.... and watch out for the cornflakes when flattening, they're rather sharp!

  Wouldn't rush to make them again, they were OK but nothing special.

  I made these with my 6 year old daughter. She loved making them as she was able to do the whole receipe herself, just needed a little help weighing out ingredients. When cooked, we were really disappointed with them, as they didn't have much flavour and Daddy said they weren't sweet enough. So I made up a batch of icing from icing sugar mixed with water and drizzled onto the top of the biscuits. Much better but still not as good as expected. The biscuits also went soft by the next day so we didn't call them syrup crunchies then!

  Mixed reactions here. Husband loves them and is having trouble stopping himself eating an obscene amount of them (I doubled the recipe.) Children found them lacking in flavour. I really like them. The strongest flavour, in my opinion, is of the custard powder, and perhaps a little of the bi-carb soda. I imagined they'd be a lot sweeter, more like an ANZAC biscuit, but the custard powder seems to have reduced that golden-syrup sweetness considerably. I got tired of rolling into balls, so put half the mixture into a slice tin - much easier. I would make these again but would reduce the bi-carb soda to around half. Also, mine weren't at all crunchy; not sure why but I'm happy with that as we prefer a softer biscuit.
