I'm not sure if you have this product in your country but I'm sure you have something similar

Would anyone like to come up with a neologism for the phenomena when you get the biscuit / chocolate ratio wrong.

Essentially you could come up with 3 neologisms

running out of biscuits but still having chocolate
running out of chocolate but still having biscuits
getting the ratio of chocolate/biscuits spot on

Very good , I am always guilty of Under Browning because Over Browning is like a confectionery faux pas to me , I'm still waiting for that perfect browning moment :D

I've a natural conspiritorial attitude, so would under brown at the outset, so I can over brown nearer the end.

What I'd really like to do is drill holes in the biscuit and fill them with the chocolate spread, then dip them. Or have a jar of nutella to hand for brown out emergencies.

It's funny you mention Nutella as that's what I was eating just before the post , luckily my GF just finished hers and said don't worry about being stingy on the chocolate as there's plenty :lol: It's the first time I've tried the Nutella version and the biscuits are thinner than the choco dip and seem a lot tastier.
As for drilling holes , I like your style , that's not a bad idea but due to the fragility of them you would need the patience of Job.
Unfortunately for me the only emergency chocolate I had in the cupboard was a jar of chocolate orange spread which is not that nice but I am reluctant to throw it out.
i feel like I'm rambling now :lol:

Rambling is fine by me! In my imagination there is already a fantasy in place to make the holes in the biscuits - a miniature biscuit lathe.

On a serious point, there are little lathes available for watch makers, but the cost of one would mean that you would have to be very very serious about that particular food ritual to spend so much money.

I'd sooner cut back to a cheaper food ritual, - variety is the spice of routine in my world.

Oh, once you had the biscuits pre holed, you could then put nutella in them using a syringe.

"Browning" would be good. Trouble is that its already used in cooking to mean "frying something in a skillet until it is brown". Isnt it?

Here's my made-up words:
running out of chocolate: underchockifying
running out of biscuits: underbiscuifying
equal chocolate-biscuit ratio: chocobiscuegalitarianism

Well I tried to sleep but failed miserably obsessing over ways of drilling biscuits and using hypodermics :D

Apart from shelling out on a specialist biscuit lathe :D , the only other option I came up with was making your own and I stumbled on this patent on google http://www.google.com.pg/patents/US4613508 , haven't read it all yet as my eyes are too bleary for that much txt.

Yes it does mean that , but isn't a new use for an old word a neologism ?

I like em , underchockifying is a disaster , underbiscuifying is bad but not so bad , chocobiscuegalitarianism is something you'd need to update your status on social media with and for some strange reason reading that word conjured up the old kinder egg advert from the 80's in my head and "chocadoobie" is bouncing off my skull , me scruble now , nogo , weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
