    If it's for a cheesecake base, you can't beat hobnobs!

    Get thee to a PnS forthwith woman!

    Oh, and get the PLAIN ones for the base. If you get the chocolaty ones, you have a lot of lickin' to do!

    No, completely different. They're oaty and crunchy and crumbly. I never use digestives for a cheesecake bases; it has to be hobnobs, sometimes with toasted chopped hazelnuts mixed in. *swoon*

    Just checking a fav base (23cm tin), I use 175g Hobnobs, 50g melted butter and 50g coarsely chopped toasted hazelnuts.

    If I HAD to use digestives () I would up the amount of butter to probably around 75g.

    thanks, will definitely consider it. but would have quite a different taste than using graham crackers...
