The Haunted Hobnob: Prue Leith's Spooky Treat! 👻🍪

Happy Halloween, bakers! This week, Chris is in the lab putting a seasonal, brown-and-orange spin on The Great British Bake Off icon: Prue Leith's Chocolate Caramel Hobnobs! Forget your flimsy wafer cookies; these are crunchy, caramel-filled masterpieces perfect for your adult trick-or-treating party (or just hiding in the pantry).

We’re not just baking, we’re learning!

• Biscuit Breakdown: We explore the surprisingly long and crunchy history of the Hobnob, the simple biscuit that conquered the UK and became a dunking legend.
• The Horror of Seizing: We confront a true baking nightmare: seizing white chocolate! We dive into the specific science of why even a single drop of water can ruin your melted chocolate and give you tips on how to handle cocoa butter like a professional ghostbuster.

Tune in to discover if Chris's seasonal color swap is a delicious disaster or a perfectly engineered treat!
