The Biscuit Apprentice

[Brom]

Anyone else see last nite's Apprentice? The task was to come up with a new biscuit idea, make it and design all the packaging and then pitch it to 3 major supermarkets.

The question is... as we on this forum are probably the Web's most unofficial officianados of the humble biscuit... what would you come up with???

I thought both the offerings were pretty poor.

Mind you, after extensive research and sampling, I have yet to find a better biscuit than the Sainsbury's in-store bakery white chocolate and raspberry cookies. They are sublime. Even better than black cherry Pims (which are like Jaffa cakes but with a black cherry bit rather than an orange-y bit, and white chocolate rather than dark chocolate.

But if I were to be forced to come up with my own biscuit... (scratches head thoughtfully)

Oreo-type biscuit (really dark chocolate-y and crisp biscuit bits, anyway), and not too sweet
Two of those sandwiched together with the white oreo-type cream which has bits of freeze-dried crushed strawberries and raspberries in it
Half of the biscuits in the pack to be dipped in white chocolate; half in dark chocolate.

What would I call them? Dunno. But I think the strapline on the packet should be something like "Too good to share".

"Othello"?

Chequers? "Our Chequers will make you chubby"?

I think two chocolate hobnobs sandwiched together with toffee/caramel cream. Works for me anyway

Oh. My . Dog.
I have to start shopping at Sainsbo's.

White chocolate & raspberries are my two very favourite things in the world.

Don't blame me if your circumference increases!

Anything for an increased circumference
