Let me tell you, it’s a good one! Justin Holloway (24 June 1999). "Keeping up with the Jonesness". Salon. Archived from the original on 28 October 2004 . Retrieved 28 January 2007. Plain Hobnobs are made at the Tollcross factory in Glasgow. The chocolate variety is made at the Harlesden factory in north-west London. [9] The basic ingredients for Hobnobs are oats. Once the chocolate is two thirds melted, don't heat anymore - just stir until it's completely melted. The tagline "Chocolate now has Hobnobs underneath" was used for the introduction in the UK of chocolate Hobnobs.

In a small saucepan over a low-medium heat (or in bowl in 10 second intervals in the microwave) melt together the butter (125g | 1/2 Cup + 1 tbsp) and golden syrup (1 tbsp) then set aside to cool. Oats – Real hobnobs use a combination of jumbo oats and rolled oats. Either will work great on their own though. The name Hobnob comes from the verb 'to hobnob', which means to spend time being friendly with someone who is important or famous. [7] Channel 4's Secret World of Biscuits programme claims that the name comes from the two words " hob" (suggesting home-cooked on a stove) and "knobbly" referencing the texture. [8] Manufacture [ edit ] Hobnobs get their flavor from oats and a lovely ingredient called golden syrup, a British baking staple. Golden syrup is an invert sugar (like corn syrup) that prevents sugar crystals from forming, so they’re used in caramel and candy-making. Like its name indicates, golden syrup has an amber, golden color. Golden syrup, unlike corn syrup, has a rich flavor that’s not pure sugar; it tastes caramel-y and buttery which makes it a great addition to baking recipes. While golden syrup used to be super difficult to find in the US, it’s pretty easy to find online or at higher-end stores (I think possibly because of the popularity of Bake-Off). If you can’t find it, you can absolutely substitute a mild honey. That said, I do think it’s worth the effort of finding the golden syrup. Flour – Self raising flour is best but if you don’t have any, you can use 125g of plain flour and 1.5 tsp of baking powder instead.

Sugar – Light brown soft sugar is best overall for hobnobs. If you switch to caster sugar they will spread more when baking and become a darker golden colour.
