Arnott's Simple Batch :
4.46 out of 5 based on 286 reviews.

As mums, it is important that we give our children only the best ingredients to fuel their growing bodies, however with our busy lifestyles many of us don’t have the time to pop on the oven mitts and bake home made snacks.

Which is why we are delighted to be inviting our members to trial and review the brand new Arnott’s Simple Batch Range.

The Arnott’s Simple Batch range has been developed to create biscuits that not only deliver mouth-watering taste but contain only high quality real ingredients you would recognise from your pantry such as flour, honey, oats and eggs, without any nasties.

Arnott’s Simple Batch comes in four mouth-watering varieties:

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

Where can I buy Arnott’s Simple Batch?

Arnott’s Simple Batch is available in the biscuit aisle of your local Coles, Woolworths or independent supermarkets.

  • 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.

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

  • Addictive!!

    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.

    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.

    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.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
