This is an unmistakable biscuit with its sprinkled sugar topping and crisp texture. Nice have been a family favourite since 1922. Named after the city in the south of France, Nice were considered to be a sophisticated treat to have with morning or afternoon tea." http://www.arnotts.com.au/our-products/products/plains.aspx Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: Ransom on March 13, 2015, 07:43:40 PM Always pronounced it as NICE, despite being about 85% sure it should be pronounced NEECE.
Nice biscuits are second to last in the biscuit tiers IMO, slightly ahead of Malted Milks.

Hobnobs Custard creams Rich tea Bourbons Morning coffee Ginger nuts Yes, I know that's 6. I had trouble stopping. Jammy dodgers.

They were my favs. I can't now eat biscuits to any great extent as they give me acid in the stomach. Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: RED-DOG on March 13, 2015, 08:08:24 PM What were those ones rectangles with a light brown coffee topping? No idea. I think you've imagined them.

(https://thisisbeaudacious.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/nice-biscuit-main1.jpg) It depends whether you dunk them or not.

It would be carnage. Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: titaniumbean on March 13, 2015, 09:04:21 PM they come in a plastic tray, 10 biscuits per pack, no other packaging except for the outside.
I demand a 2nd opinion Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: RED-DOG on March 13, 2015, 09:09:03 PM they come in a plastic tray, 10 biscuits per pack, no other packaging except for the outside. I demand a 2nd opinion So they have a tray and wrapping on the outside? You're having a laugh aren't you? Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: titaniumbean on March 13, 2015, 09:15:17 PM modern day packaging bro, they most definitely aren't individually wrapped though so I must defend them!

I thought that was a pic of just one biscuit. Fox's melts are back in.

Haven't had them for a while, but they used to sell them in Waitrose/Tesco.

Haven't had them for a while, but they used to sell them in Waitrose/Tesco. Never seen this before. Would I be right in saying they are like a harder toffee filled jaffa cake? Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: Simon Galloway on March 14, 2015, 03:14:51 PM 6. Custard Creams
5. Bourborns 4. Ginger Nuts 3. Hob Nobs 2. Crunch Creams But the winner is....

Biscuit base, with a soft(ish) toffee topping, that's coated in milk chocolate. Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: Omm on March 14, 2015, 03:46:02 PM For the last couple of months I've been rather taken with just Plain Digestives usually dipped in a cup of tea, such a great taste for a simple biscuit.
Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: Junior Senior on March 15, 2015, 09:21:25 PM No such thing as a bad biscuit tho.
FTR Fox's Classic are the absolutely King of biscuits. I wont be swayed otherwise. Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: The_nun on March 15, 2015, 09:38:43 PM Always pronounced it as NICE, despite being about 85% sure it should be pronounced NEECE.

Hobnobs Custard creams Rich tea Bourbons Morning coffee Ginger nuts Yes, I know that's 6. I had trouble stopping. Jammy dodgers. I actually spent the morning baking and biscuits were top priority. You cant tell Reece that any biscuits beat my plain old butter ones. Title: Re: Nice biscuits Post by: The_nun on March 15, 2015, 09:40:49 PM All thats left after a full batch.
