    So quick and easy to make - I won't bother buying buscuits anymore! Really popular with everyone who tried them and great for dunking in tea! I only used 75g sugar instead of 100g and they were perfect.

    Made the first batch which were very dry and crumbly and the bi-carb after taste was horribe, so, I made another batch. Used an extra tablespoon of water and extra bit of golden syrup and only 1/2 tsp bi-carb. The result was much better. Tasty and more-ish. YUM

    These were lovely and light but like others found the bicarb left an unpleasant aftertaste. They were very similar to ones i made from an Annabelle Karmel recipe which were better. That recipe added choc chips which made them even yummier.

    very easy to make - even if they appear gloopy, turned out yummy (though that may be because I added a few chopped cherries :-)
