Sugar – Light brown soft sugar is best overall for hobnobs. If you switch to caster sugar they will spread more when baking and become a darker golden colour. The name Hobnob comes from the verb 'to hobnob', which means to spend time being friendly with someone who is important or famous. [7] Channel 4's Secret World of Biscuits programme claims that the name comes from the two words " hob" (suggesting home-cooked on a stove) and "knobbly" referencing the texture.

Golden syrup is an invert sugar (like corn syrup) that prevents sugar crystals from forming, so they’re used in caramel and candy-making. Like its name indicates, golden syrup has an amber, golden color. Golden syrup, unlike corn syrup, has a rich flavor that’s not pure sugar; it tastes caramel-y and buttery which makes it a great addition to baking recipes. While golden syrup used to be super difficult to find in the US, it’s pretty easy to find online or at higher-end stores (I think possibly because of the popularity of Bake-Off). If you can’t find it, you can absolutely substitute a mild honey. That said, I do think it’s worth the effort of finding the golden syrup.
