Does anyone have any uses for stale biscuits?

One of the women in our office has started buying those broken biscuits boxes, great for a couple of days until they go a bit chewy. So 1/2 a box of biscuts gets slowly picked at until they are binned.

Obvious answer is - cheesecake base

Alternatively revive them by bunging them in an air fryer for a few minutes at 180C.

Two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a bowl, crumble (quite) a few of the biscuits over the ice cream.
Tastes very nice especially after a lot of alcohol and you are craving something sweet.

Single serving? There's twenty five years worth in that box. No wonder they go stale!

Clearly you've not been anywhere near a motor trade admin department. Half the women in there could eat a whole box in one go.

Cheesecake yup, but I can make a cheesecake every week lol.

Does reviving really work?

Tupperware… can a simple man suggest such a thing to a middle aged group of women?

Group of women not eating them?? Fat jabs.

Yep.

Biscuit type will depend on success, but generally you are rebaking (removing water and crisping).

Just don’t overkill.

Plain biscuits, i.e ones without filling or cream etc , can be easily and successful revived with just 5 mins in a hot oven and then left to cool.
They generally appear stale as the moisture content has gone up too much .

Dip em in a mug of tea and scoff them in one sitting.
Biscuits don’t last long enough in my house to go soft.
