Three delicious ways to recreate the flavour of caramelised biscuits
Scroll down to check out our deal of the day and top swap items SUN SAVERS Three delicious ways to recreate the flavour of caramelised biscuits Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRITAIN'S gone crazy for the flavour of caramelised biscuits. From market leader Biscoff to own-brand supermarket products, you can get the sweet taste in ice creams, cookies, cheesecakes, sponge puds and – increasingly – in liquid form. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Enjoy the caramelised biscuit taste as part of the drink itself with our easy tip Credit: Getty Enjoy the treats for less with these sweet ideas . . . DRINK UP: Dunking may have had its day. Instead, enjoy that biscuit taste as part of the drink itself. For a Biscoff latte, stir a tablespoon of spread into a quarter cup of strong coffee, then top with hot milk. For a more decadent drink, add whipped cream. For a cooler treat, blend a scoop of ice cream with half a cup of milk, a ripe banana and then a heaped tablespoon of Biscoff spread. SUPER SPREADERS: The main ingredient for these tastes can come from a 400g jar of Biscoff, down from £3.35 to £2.60 at Waitrose. You could also try Asda's caramelised biscuit spread for £1.99. As well as eating it on toast, you can make chocolate chip cookies, putting a dollop of the spread on top of the cookies before baking. For brownies, make your usual recipe and pour half the batter into the tin. Put random teaspoons of Biscoff spread over the mixture then cover with the rest of the batter. Make DIY Biscoff ice cream by stirring swirls of the spread into low-cost vanilla ice cream. You could crumble some of the biscuits on top, too. UP YOUR GAME: A pack of caramelised biscuits can be used for next level desserts. They are a triumph in no-bake cheesecakes, using crushed Biscoff instead of digestives in the base. Whisk a couple of heaped tablespoons of the spread into the topping mixture, too. How to cook the perfect biscoff apple crumble and it's the best thing you'll ever make in the air fryer They also transform a tiramisu. Use a double layer of biscuits instead of sponge fingers. Dip in coffee before using them to cover the bottom of a dish. Spoon over mascarpone whipped with cream and top with grated chocolate. All prices on page correct at time of going to press.

'I've found a linen dress that 'skims mum tum' and is 15% off'
The London-based retailer Boden has slashed the price of its latest womenswear collection by 15% - and the discount code is available to use now. And there's one piece that's been a hit with shoppers The celebrity-adored fashion label Boden has cut a 15% off their new-in womenswear just in time for summer. And there's one particular number that's been turning heads, with customers raving about the shower of compliments they've received, particularly noting how the dress 'skims the mum tum'. Ideal for summer weddings, getaways and any event you could imagine this sunny season, the Anya Sleeveless Linen Dress is being coveted by fashion fans. Boasting a chic and effortless style perfect for sweltering days, its sleeveless design and short hemline will ensure wearers stay breezy and graceful no matter the temperature. Crafted from a blend of 80% linen and 20% recycled linen, complemented by a soft cotton lining, this frock was originally priced at £126, but can be snapped up for a £107.20 with a discount code. Anyone who uses JM7D at the virtual tills will see £18.90 shaved off the price tag. However, if this Boden number isn't quite your cup of tea, or out of budget, there are loads of other linen dresses up for grabs on the high street, such as this Green Abstract Linen-Blend Palermo Mini Dress, available for £55 from Nobody's Child. Elsewhere, Next also has this Cream and Green Palm Floral Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress on offer for £38. Despite its higher price point, the Boden number has earned its stripes with praise for its 'flattering' fit-and-flare design. It even features a self-tie belt which brilliantly cinches in at the waist while elegantly draping over the midriff. One customer said: " So flattering. I got so many compliments on this the first time I wore this." Another added: "I'm 5'4", size 14, mid-40s mum-of-two and my stomach shows it, but not in this dress. Really flattering, and whilst I'd prefer a V-neck, it skims the mum-tum and fits well and is well made and fully lined,' reports the Manchester Evening News. Coming in a size range from 4 to 22, it features discreet side pockets and a gently tailored sleeveless top, the versatile piece can be dressed up or down with ease, making it perfect for everything from office meetings to summer weddings. The dress falls just above the knee, making it an excellent choice for both work and weekend wear. A glowing five-star review read: "I got the brown polka dot style and I love it. My husband also thought it looked amazing on. Would be totally appropriate for work with a cardigan and totally perfect to dress up and down for the summer. Love it!' "I am 5'3" and ordered 6R and 6P. I haven't ordered petite sizing before from Boden but glad I did on this dress. It fits perfectly and the length is just above my knees. Not too short and I think appropriate for work as well. It's very flattering," another customer shared. However, some customers have been left pining for a longer version, particularly those who prefer a bit more coverage. One wrote: "I would love to have kept this dress but just felt it was too short for me. Please make it in a long version. Style, quality of material and make up are excellent and I love the spotted chestnut colour. "A bit pricey but I would have paid it if it had fully suited me. Seemed to be suitable for all occasions, casual or formal. I'm 5ft 4 and size 14. It came to my knees which it's supposed to do but I would prefer it a little longer. Sadly had to return it." The Anya dress from Boden comes in five different colourways, with one shopper loving it so much she said: "I would buy this dress in all colours. Nice fabric and colour. Fits perfect." It comes in a poppy red and pink ornamental floral, as well as chestnut with polka dots, gallery blue, foliage scatter and for those who would prefer to forego a print, a plain rose pink. Fans of the frock can shop the Boden dress here.

Rochelle Humes' new denim dress from Next has shoppers swooning
Rochelle Humes' latest collection with Next has dropped, with some seriously swoonworthy pieces for summer including a maxi denim dress With a new season comes new fashion collections from some of our favourite brands. These include Poppy Delevingne's collaboration with Nobody's Child and Next's newest range with This Morning star Rochelle Humes. One dress in particular from Rochelle's new collection is making waves with fashion fans for its lightweight denim make-up and elegant style. The Mid Blue Denim Sleeveless Denim Maxi Dress, which comes in a blue mid-wash denim hue as well as a more neutral ecru colour, retails at £48. Made from a lightweight cotton-blend fabric (77% Cotton, 23% TENCEL™ lyocell), the dress is ideal for summer as it is sleeveless and has a relatively relaxed silhouette, delivering ample ventilation on humid days. Crafted with a round neckline (ideal for adding necklaces and layering), the frock has a maxi length whose raw hem adds some lovely texture and a bit of a unique look. Its sleeveless design makes it a great item to stash in the suitcase on holiday - plus, with a denim make up it's highly unlikely to crease. The dress is also available in two different lengths and in sizes 6 to 22, catering to a variety of shapes and sizes, regular and tall. This does mean that those with more petite frames may feel a little bit swamped, which is one negative of this dress. While it doesn't yet have any reviews on the Next website, the dress was posted on the brand's Instagram page, alongside a number of other pieces from the collection - including this playful White/Pink Graphic Print Beach T-Shirt, £25 - underneath which fans of the The Saturdays star shared their love for the new garments. Shop the look £48 Next Buy Now on Next Product Description One person wrote: "Ohhhh love it," while someone else stated: "My fave edits." Another shopper raved: "This brand is in safe, brilliant hands." One lovely detail that makes this dress stand out is its diagonal seam design, which adds some texture and dimension to the dress. However, for those who'd prefer a more fit-and-flare shape, Marks and Spencer's Pure Cotton Square Neck Midi Skater Dress is £45 and has a pleated skirt and square neckline that's super flattering. It's also a good option for those who'd prefer to keep their arms covered. For a more shirt-dress style with no sleeves, like Next's Roman, Next's Denim Button Through Midi Dress is £40 and comes in sizes 10 to 20. With a waist tie and v-neckline, it's a really flattering option for summer. Shoppers have described it as having 'excellent style and fits really well', others have said it's 'suitable for any age.' However, Rochelle's mid-Blue Sleeveless Denim Maxi Dress is available from Next for £48.
