Talk about selling it short. The Chocolate Hobnob is the King of Biscuits. It was specifically invented to tempt diabetics off the path to low-carb righteousness.

Have googled pictures of the "famous Hobnob", its like our version of an Anzac biscuit - (which is also yummy)....

We found Hob Nobs made for the French market the other day complete with picture of a guardsman and union flag on the packet The explanation on the packet made me laugh
L'authentique recette anglais aux flocons d'avoine dores au four (c'est le 'Hob')

They seemed much smaller in diameter than those I remember but they were actually 2 mini hob nobs sandwiched together with chocolate cream (8g carb). OH says they are very nice. Probably much too slow for a hypo.

Do you remember that they used to be a plain biscuit?

Then came this;
"Good news. Chocolate now has Hob Nobs underneath"

I wonder if they still make those snack hobnob bars with a cream filling and smothered in chocolate? They were a whole pack thing to me.
