  These were very tasty and healthy for lunchboxes. Next time I shall cut the sugar by half as the syrup and coconut provide enough sweetness.

  I can't wait to try this. These were my favourite biscuits as a child. I received some in a hamper from Australia last Christmas and the taste really took me back to my days growing up in Oz.

  Really nice - they are almost like hobnobs - I think that they might be nice dipped into some dark chocolate.

  I've used this recipe several times and they taste delicious although they turn out differently each time from soft and chewy to quite crispy.

  A wow with everyone I have offered them to. So easy I will make them instead of buying biscuits! (And much nicer even if I say so myself)
