What is hide and seek biscuits?

The Hide & Seek biscuit is a small, flat-baked sweet biscuit manufactured and marketed by Parle Foods. It is a version of the ever-popular chocolate chip cookie, wherein little chips of chocolate 'hide' in the biscuit. They have a strong chocolaty flavour that goes down well with kids and adults alike. However, with just the right amount of sweetness, these biscuits don't cloy.
Such biscuits are usually made with melted chocolates or cocoa powder and a chemical leavening agent such as baking powder. Apart from plain chocolate chip cookies, the Hide & Seek range also includes orange and coffee flavours, as well as a new cream-centred variant (Fab).

Crushed hide and seek biscuits

The biscuits are crushed either with hand or by placing them in a cloth and pounding them with a hammer for a few seconds. The latter procedure tends to impart a finer crushed product than the former.

Powdered hide and seek biscuits

You may powder the biscuits in a dry grinder or by placing them between a cloth or plastic sheet and pounding them with hammer. They may be powdered finely or coarsely as per the recipe requirements.
