List of Vegan Biscuits I’ve made my feelings on Hobnobs perfectly clear when I gave them a 19th place positioning in this list, but with the addition of chocolate, they’re an entirely different ballgame. Chocolate makes everything better. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, all of these mealtimes can be improved with chocolate. So can a biscuit as weak as a Hobnob reclaim some dignity with the addition of a chocolate coating? It absolutely bloody well can, yes. Chocolate Hobnobs taught me to love again. They are delicious, albeit a bit crummy in their aftermath.

The original, chocolate chip and gluten-free Hobnob biscuits are what you would call ‘accidentally vegan’. That means that although they are suitable for vegans, they were not intentionally made to be vegan-friendly. Are there any vegan chocolate Hobnobs?

Despite the fact that the original Hobnobs are vegan, there are no animal ingredients in them, only vegetable oil derived from palm fruit, which is highly controversial for its impact on the environment and animal lives. Palm oil has a bad reputation, which is due to its use in pollutive mono-crops that kill animals, and the fact that it is necessary for critical habitats (rain forests) to be bulldozed. Between 1999 and 2015, 100,000 Bornean orangutans died as a result of the demand for conventional palm oil.Welcome to Smart Cities, the future of urban living and how Scotland's magnificent seven are leading the way Plain Chocolate [Sugar, Cocoa Mass, Vegetable Fats (Palm, Shea), Butter Oil ( Milk), Cocoa Butter, Emulsifiers (Soya Lecithin, E476), Natural Flavoring] So I am going to carry on baking and sharing recipes with you.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the oats, milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth. 4. NOTE: when I say biscuit in this post, I’m referring to the British word for cookie. I think of a biscuit as a certain type of cookie: one which is thin and always dry and crunchy, never soft or chewy. What I do not mean by biscuit is a scone-type-thing. Okay. Cool. Let’s proceed.

A court decision was also required to determine whether a Scottish Snowball is, for VAT purposes, a cake.

Thankfully, the chocolate in the chocolate chips is made with soya instead of dairy, meaning these are accidentally vegan. Yay! Using a 1/2-ounce cookie scoop (or 1-tablespoon measure), scoop the dough onto the prepared pans 2 to 3 inches apart. 6.

It would be rude not to include another childhood favourite, pink wafers, on the list. If the pink ones are a little too, um, pink for your liking then Manner’s neopolitan and hazelnut wafers are also vegan-friendly and high on the flavour scale. 11.
