Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi everyone, I have some packets of biscuits that I've opened and not finished and now they're no longer crisp.. no fun at all to eat like that.. Rather than throw them away I wondered if you had any good ideas for using them up.. I know I could use them as biscuit base for something like sweet cheesecake or flans, but living alone that's going to have to make a LOT of cheesecakes and I have limited freezer space (I'm off grid) I wondered if you had ideas for yummy recycling of these bikkies.. Some of them have chocolate coating (digestives) Waste not, want not! ;0) Louisa MARKETPLACE Going Green: Your resource for green living Going Green: Your resource for green living Switch to: Text-Only, Daily Digest .

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 I think you are talking about what is known in the USA as cookies? Just wanted to clarify because you are going to get a lot more replies calling them cookies as well. Not so many ideas from me, except for the one where you could simply grind them up, add a little sugar/butter and press into a pie pan to use as a cookie pie crust. Or a biscuit pie crust if you are Brit or Aussie. , brghtcrystl <brghtcrystl wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I have some packets of biscuits that I've opened and not finished and now they're no longer crisp.. no fun at all to eat like that.. > > Rather than throw them away I wondered if you had any good ideas for using them up..

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 What about some slices using them, although I guess that poses the same problem. I made one the other day using crushed bikkies, condensed milk and clinkers except I then found out clinkers are not veggie friendly cos they contain gelatine. Here are some recipes http://tinyurl.com/ykrbpvf http://tinyurl.com/yjw9ch8 http://tinyurl.com/y96d5ez http://tinyurl.com/yzpcnjx http://tinyurl.com/ykj424g Virginia West Aussie > I have some packets of biscuits that I've opened and not finished > and now they're no longer crisp.. no fun at all to eat like that.. > > Rather than throw them away I wondered if you had any good ideas > for using them up..

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 You can refresh them in a low (250F) oven. ________________________________ rosetalleo <rosetalleo Sat, December 5, 2009 4:29:16 PM [veg_grp] Re: Recipes for slightly stale sweet biscuits?
