Thank you for letting us know vintagekitty. I looked at them In Countdown but have been disappointed so many times by bought gingernuts I usually make my own. Will give them a try soon.

Everyone in our family loves thehomebrand gingernuts, they are easy for the kids to eat without just about breaking their teeth like the other brands.

I used them recently as a cheesecake base and was very impressed.Very gingery, easy to smash and everyone kept asking me what the lovely base was.

I buy Countdown own brand gingernuts all the time & agree with vintagekitty they are value for money, nice & gingery & sugery on top. Don't have to 'dunk' ! Iv'e even used them in ginger truffles instead of the usual wine biscuits ground up. Also buy the 'chocolate sandwich' biscuits, Countdown brand again , cheaper than Tim Tams.

I got some couplands ones a while back and they were nice as well, but thanks for the homebrand advice as well, we don't buy bikkies very often, but thats good to know.

Thanks VK.When I was young there was a brand of ginger biscuits that were less hard than the Griffins ones and I loved them.Eating a Griffins one nowadays would be very costly in terms of the dentist's bill so I will certainly try these ones.

I was wondering about Griffins Gingernuts. I hadn't eaten them for a few years but I bought some late last year and just thought my older teeth couldn't 'hack' it with Gingernuts anymore.

Thumbs up!They're more like Spice biscuits with the cinnamon in them but they're still yum.

Thought the hardness of the gingernut was a non issue because most people dunk them?
I am not a dunker, but figured most others were - how wrong can I be?
