  I also changed golden syrup to maple - a lot cheaper! - and added crystallized ginger instead of ginger stem, and mixed dried fruit instead of apricots- DELICIOUS!

  mmm lovely! Didn't have golden syrup, but found malt extract, worked well! Used cranberries instead of cherries.

  The family loved these. My son took them to school in his lunch box. I used mixed dried fruit instead of the apricots and ginger and cranberries in place of the sour cherries. Whilst delicious, they were too big so when I make them again I will make them smaller.

  Very yummy...........played around with the ingredients a bit each time I have made these to suit what I have in the cupboard, and they have always been really good. Fantastic for lunchboxes.

  these were really good. i changed the ingredients a bit by adding apricots and chopped up dates and a few bran flakes as well as the oats. mine turned out thicker than the picture which meant they were more like an oat cake but were really nice to come to after a cold walk out with the dog!

  These were nice but they came out a little "cakey" as they rose quite high! Maybe I didn't make the balls small enough but there were 19 so it should have been fine.

  Well done to all those who's biscuits were a success! I am not the best cook, I forgot the baking sheets, although trays were buttered, this meant that all the biscuits were welded on to the tray and burnt too. What biscuit I could scrape off tasted very nice indeed, but in the end I had to put the trays out for the birds to peck ! will be buying new trays soon. I added sunflower seeds as they taste very nice toasted. I don't think I will try this recipe again, I think I will stick to my usual biscuit recipes!!!
