They’ve risen well enough. If I try again I might put more fruit in (maybe 6 oz rather than 4) soak it for longer in whatever spirit and also up the level of mixed spice from 2 tsp to 3. They are quite a delicate flavour. It’s all there. I just think I’d prefer less subtlety!

I like how there is an extra one destroying the symmetry. I guess the ease of dividing into 16 trumps OCD!
This AM, Sam and I made a pack of these go away. - “a pleasure shared is a pleasure spoiled” as my former boss at the BM(NH) used to say, but since she’s sat right next to me, it would be crass, even by my low standards, to deny her…
Toasted one side only, and with about a quarter of a pack of salted butter they are really rather decent. They stand out as one of few mass-produced HXBs that don’t have palm oil in them, but this batch was less well spiced than the last lot, but made-up for it with fruit - lots of lovely sticky fruit!
There’s undoubtedly better out there, but these achieve entirely blameless adequacy IME.

Thanks to you, I have now started looking on packages, for it.
McVitie’s Light Digestive biscuits, don’t have any palm oil, and my wife said, ooh, these are really nice.

We decided that was the teenage jockanese one. Will prolly go 4x4 next time; more even but a little less fun.

Really cannot fault these at all. Spicing, fruiting and glazing are all on point. Remarkably good supermarket effort.

Stodge level?
Excellent mouth-feel and density without unpleasant cloying effects.
