ANZAC Biscuits
Choc Coconut Cookies
Honey Cinnamon Butter Biscuits
Vanilla Butter Biscuits

Where can I buy Arnott’s Simple Batch?

Simple Batch but simply delicious.

Last and final review of these Simple Batch Biscuits : Review will be for The Amazing Anzac Biscuits.
LOVE Love love the simple ingredients that go into these delicious biscuits. They really do taste like homemade and are crunchy and munchy. Very moreish indeed. Like the Woolies ad goes shopped and dropped …I will be purchasing many more of these yummy biscuits.

Just like homemade.

This is my forth and final review of these Arnott’s Simple Batch Biscuits. I have enjoyed them immensely and loved the fact that they contain simple ingredients that I use at home. These Amazing Anzac’s are crunchy and have that delicious home-baked taste. They are perfect for a snack any time and are so great crumbled over fruit to made a quick and easy crumble dessert. These Biscuits bring back memories and with a packet in the pantry one can reminisce any time and where. PERFECT.

Couldn't stop at just one

They make the perfect afternoon snack with a coffee or a cup of tea. The only thing is you can’t just stop at one…. before I knew it the packets were gone in my house before I even got a photo! We have already been back to the shops to buy more they are need a weekly staple food item on our shopping list.

Loved this!

I have tried all the flavours in the Arnott’s simple batch range and I have to say my favourite by a mile was the vanilla butter flavour. It was such a rich creamy vanillary buttery flavour, I could have polished off the entire packet. It was such a tasty store bought bikkie. I also love the other flavors too, top job Arnotts.

Simply Delicious

The honey cinnamon butter biscuits didn’t last long in my house. They were definitely a hit. The Anzac biscuits were enjoyed more by the adults than the kids but they were just as lovely.
Both felt like you were eating homemade biscuits and I love how simple the ingredients are. Will definitely be adding to my shopping list when we need biscuits.

Loved by all the family

We really enjoyed the Honey Cinnamon Butter Biscuits. The name doesn’t do them justice. I enjoyed them so much more than I thought I would. They melted in your mouth like the best shortbread but had the right touch of cinnamon to make it extra special. They were loved by all the family and gone in a flash

Yum! The vanilla Butter biscuits are seriously delish, when I first opened them I literally ate 5 in about 10 minutes! My son said it was the nicest biscuit he’d ever had lol! In fact, I loved them so much I decided they were good enough for an up coming morning tea so pre-ordered 20 online!!!

Simple batch simply the best

The honey cinnamon butter biscuits are so buttery they melt in your mouth and the delicate taste of cinnamon leaves you wanting more. The Anzac biscuit has a beautiful crunch that turns to a soft chewiness and the golden syrup provides just the right amount of sweetness.
Exactly like homemade, and you can’t stop at one. Highly recommend

Just like home made!

I absolutely love the ingredients list for the Arnott’s Simple Batch range. I am always striving to ensure my family aren’t consuming foods with artificial colours, flavours or preservatives so these were a great option for us. I usually make our treats from scratch but when I saw these on special I decided to give them a try. We had the Choc Coconut Cookies and they taste great! My 2 year old couldn’t believe his luck when he asked for one and I said yes. Such a great option to have when you don’t have the time or motivation to bake. Will purchase again when they are on special, I am keen to try the other flavours!

Crunchy and delicious

The Arnott’s Simple Batch biscuits are some of the nicest biscuits out there currently. Crumbly, moreish and delicious, they are the perfect biscuit to accompany your afternoon cup of tea. Great to keep a packet (or two!) in the cupboard, these will be a crowd pleaser to just whip out if you have guests over.

I really enjoy the arnott’s simple batch biscuits. I’ve bought these several times times and enjoy them every time. They are such a simple yet delicious biscuit and I’m happy to give these to my two girls as I know there isn’t any random preservatives hidden in them. I highly recommend these biscuits they are so so yummy!

Anzac's perfect anytime.

Well I am at the end of my reviews now …only the Amazing Anzac Biscuits to review. So here we go:
OMG these Anzac’s are amazing, they have a great crunch and certainly have that delicious home baked flavour. I have enjoyed experiencing all these simple batch biscuits and simply love the fact that they use ingredients just like one would use at home (with out the nasty’s so many store bought biscuits contain) . Arnott’s you have my tick of approval with these simple batch.

Children's Fav.

So this is my third review and I am reviewing the choc coconut cookies this time. These cookies were the children’s favourite. The chocolate and coconut was a marriage made in heaven. As a mom I liked the addition of oats in these cookies. These divine cookies go sooo well with a frosty glass of milk or so the children tell me. lol Personally I much prefer to dunk mine in my steamy tea.

Yummy Anzacs!!

Really loved the Anzac cookies and ate them between three of us in one sitting. Definitely tasted home made, and loved the basic ingredients! None of these extra additives
I’d love to buy them again, and found them the yummiest of the two types I bought. I think you’d like it too-just like mum made!!
I took them to work and was a great snack for us. Didn’t make it home!

Different reviews from kids vs adults

The kids preferred the crunch and taste of the ANZAC biscuits and polished off the packet before I could take a photo! These were a bit too crunchy for me (I prefer soft bikkies) but I loved the softer smooth textured honey cinnamon flavoured which was nice and subtle, and melted in the mouth.

Great for kids

My children loved them! They couldn’t get enough so I had no choice but buy more. They are so good with coffee and the honey ones melted in my mouth
The favourite on our house was Anzac
We have now tried all of the flavours and the adults love vanilla and the kids loved the Anzac and honey ones.
They are not expensive either which made me happy when I did the shopping.

Good simple but tasty old-time recipes.

Love Love Love these.
Our favourite at the moment is Chocolate/Coconut. But will try others soon.
They are brilliant & taste much like my mother’s fabulous baking in the 60s/70s/80s.
Wonderful pure ingredients & great combinations you can really taste the authenticity.
PLEASE make bigger packets as we simply cannot get enough.

Simple and Tasty

I have tried the Vanilla butter biscuit and I like it they are not very fancy like other biscuits but they tasted fresh, just like home made. They are made of simple ingredients which is a good thing. Very creamy and buttery in taste but not very sweet. Its just that they are expensive as compared to the quantity of biscuits inside the packet. All in all a good experience.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
Some platters and serving dishes
Candles
Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

Soft and hard cheeses
Cured meats
Sandhurst Kalamata Olives
Fruit selection
Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes
Dips and crackers
Sandhurst Baby Capers
Nuts and dried fruit
Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

Certainly most welcome for summer, and would be wonderful for the festive season. I can see this platter on the table Christmas Eve, when we get together with our neighbours.

Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

  Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen

    Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed

Charcuterie Boards and Antipasto boards are so good. I love them, i love the variety of foods you can put on them and they are so great for entertaining and enjoying with family or friends. It is something i like to make whenever i have friends over as you can enjoy and pick away while you are catching up. Great entertaining option.

I absolutely adore an antipasto spread. There’s nothing better than having a colourful plate of charcuterie and antipasto shared with loved ones. I grew up with my Mum making the most lush, long table of nibblies on celebrations and it’s something that my siblings and I carry on today. It brings us all together.
