Looking to make 2 new flavours for myself, a biscuit and custard and a biscuit, banana and cream but with the mixes very biscuit heavy. So im looking for advice on making a really nice biscuit base, not overly sweet like cakes but more like a digestive biscuit.
So any ideas and fav mixes that you like that fit the bill would be great.
Cheers!

Biscuit Eater from www.Flavour-Boss.co.uk can be brought as ready mixed 30ml for £5.99 or as a Boss Shot with all the favours pre mixed in the included 500ml bottle for £14.49. (Just add nic/pg/vg into supplied bottle which has amounts needed to make either 3mg or 6mg printed onto label) Mixing doesn't get any easier than this but add a 28mm cap and twist off top for 0.25p to your order to make filling your bottles easier.

Perpetua do you actually use the Chefs Choice (Cupcake world) Digestive? I have heard so many bad reviews of it I have in the past yes Q . . . . . prior to there being quite the selection of biscuity flavours that we have now to choose from I'll admit. For my tastes, it was a good authentic digestive flavour - although on the weak side, like a number of the CCW flavours have the tendency to be. ( Just my opinion of course, but my feeling is that many mixers don't use a high enough ratio for these concentrates - which in turn gives the range a not necessarily deserved bad rep. ) The next time I come to use it, I'm going to try using with some of Inawera's Biscuit just to see how they combine and blend ( or not ) together.

CCW Digestive was the first biscuity one I bought and I like it too, not quite McVities but I mixed it with toffee and custard I think and it was good

I have some CCW digestive but was not too sure about it, what % you suggest using as a stand alone to get a better feel for it?
Thanks for the replies guys.
