Very impressive Cheryl. They look delicious. I must have a look for the fluffy marshmallow in the supermarket, I don’t recall seeing that before. Have a great BH weekend and hopefully the sun will continue to shine. Xx

[@WhatsForTea]

Hiya 😊 you’ll find it in most supermarkets Mary…usually in the same isle as the jams & spreads. Have a lovely evening 💕

[@Mazza240]

@@WhatsForTea thank you, I’ll keep an eye out. Xx

[@bostonrailfan2427]

check the ice cream toppings area of your supermarket if it’s not among peanut butter, jams, jellies, and preserves… whatever you do, please don’t use melted marshmallows in place of the fluff/creme as that will seize firmer and is stickier and denser. i made that mistake once and it wasn’t pretty 😳

[@judedeshawn7200]

Hello how are you

[@WaysideArtist]

Oh! I'd really love these. Delish, Cheryl!! 😋

[@heatherdickie1177]

Cheryl, I live in Canada and I often buy items from either an "English" store or the "English" specialty section in some stores. Ever since I was a kid I loved Tunnock's Snowballs, they also have the Tunnock's Tea Cakes but they never appealed to me until I watched your video a few weeks ago. I went out and bought them they were very good. I liked that they had that fluffy mallow middle like the Snowballs. We have a dessert (Mallow Cookies) that look like these tea cakes but are smaller, my parents used to buy them but these cookies had a true marshmallow filling and do not compare to the Tea Cakes. I enjoyed your video but it was a lot of work.. I love the channel thanks.

[@deborahrussell1609]

I will give these a go cheryl..thank you.

OMG you got Fluff way over in Scotland! It was invented in New England where I grew up and it's a household staple. My great grandparents made those tea cookies as well as my grandparents. They came from Scotland.

[@chellagirl3664]

These remind me of the Marshmallow Pinwheels (US) that my mom loves. I never really liked them, because of the stodgy marshmallow in them. I think I would enjoy these, because of the creamy fluff.

[@lisag5085]

Wow - those look yummy!!!

We all love Tunnocks tea cakes in our house! Yum. 😋 X

[@housewife1543]

M&S do lovely mini ones too

[@shadodragonette]

The closest we have in the USA I can think of would be "Moon Pies", which are flatter, but similar in filling. Yours probably taste better.

Oh I've tried a moon pie :) I like the banana one 😊

Lakeland....Ooooh there's posh! 😂

Lakeland is a dangerous place for me...it's a bit like the £ shop, you go in for one thing.....🤣

[@2H80vids]

Never seen jars of Fluff before Cheryl but, to be fair, I've never looked. These looked like fun to make but I'll need to get the moulds first. It's Jacobs that put a drip of jam in their's I think. A wee suggestion for lovers of such things; try Tunnock's 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌 chocolate ones(blue + gold wrapper). Same for the caramel wafers too - both are superb.👌😁

[@donnaadams8902]

Thank you for this fun recipe! ❤

[@gigidodson]

fluff is AMAZING. Im abig fan of a sandwich called a fluffernutter. Its buttered white bread with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff grilled. Like you would grilled cheese. its so good. not healthy, but delicious

[@melissalambert7615]

Lived on Fluffernutters as a child. Never grilled them. Have grilled peanut butter sandwich tho. Yum!

Hi Cheryl, thank you very much for your recipes. Your videos are so well done and the content is amazing.

I’ve loved Tunnocks since my little days…many moons ago. I came across your video after having a few tea cakes after tea. Can I just say your video was very informative and interesting how they are made & I will definitely be making these. Thank you for your video & can I say you have a beautiful accent.x

[@captainaverage721]

I'm an Uddingston boy and worked for four summers in Tunnocks when I was home from Uni in tye 90's I worked on the mallow flat (where the teacakes were made. I remember the mallow being made in giant metal bowls and mixers I'm sure some of the ingredients were egg whites mixed with a glucose solution

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Here in the States, we have a similar cookie / biscuit. They're called "Pinwheels". BTW, I hope (and expect) that Mr. "What's for Tea" appreciates how lucky he is to have such a sweet woman and such a good cook.

[@WhatsForTea]

Aw thank you so much 😁 Let's hope he does Kevin! 😅

[@marianlawrie8614]

Kevin in Scotland we have a similar marshmallow chocolate biscuit .we call them “Wagon wheels “ your pinwheels sound similar .

[@kevinbyrne4538]

@@marianlawrie8614 -- Yes. "Wagon wheels" consist of two vanilla-flavoured biscuits with a layer of marshmallow between them; the whole thing is then coated with melted chocolate. "Pinwheels" consist of a vanilla-flavoured biscuit (with a hole in the middle) which is topped with marshmallow; the whole thing is then coated with melted chocolate.

You always get a view and a like from me but when I saw Tunnock's I Stopped. I gotta watch. Bet they taste better than the box made. I found a recipe for Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies in an old Better Homes and Gardens cook book that taste better than store bought. Thanks for this little slice of paradise. Luckily we have a source locally, in Denver.

[@namnmd6237]

Hihi do u still happen to have that mianos recipe? Are u Able to share? Thanks

[@karinberonius8799]

Aha! So that's how they're made! Maby now I'll finally get to taste one! I messaged Tunnock's in 2021 when a KZbin crafter had made a brilliant christmas ornament with the teacake wrapper. (If I see something great, I feel the need to share it.) In December I got a suspicious looking parcel from Scotland. Tunnock's had sent me a christmas card and an apron! Which I of course will be wearing when I make these teacakes.

[@marijones9918]

Morning Karin....The KZbin Crafter you mentioned there could possibly be Sam Calcott (she's brilliant by the way, take look at her channel!) she is totally mad on the Tunnock biscuits. Yeah and I watched the box she made for her Tunnocks!. Hope she looks out for your recipe on these Cheryl, sure she'd have a go at making them, they look so good! x

[@lisamoore6804]

These look so good. I chuckled when you said that if we want an extra job we could make our own fluff. I never do any more than I have to when it comes to baking or cooking. The less I do, the less dishes I have to wash afterwards.

Exactly Lisa! 😆

[@mytartanbahrain]

Hello from Bahrain! I can safely say that the shops here sell Tunnock's tea cakes and wafers in both milk and dark chocolate varieties. My old favourites from home, so I can easily get my fix here when I'm feeling nostalgic for the homeland. We also get the marshmallow fluff in the supermarkets here, so can easily try the recipe too. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇧🇭

these are a great gift at christmas if you make as shown........then when upturned you can pipe white chocolate splash on top and it will look like a christmas pudding....you can add tiny holly leaves & berries made from sugarpaste (sit them onto white choc before it hardens).....you can also add different flavours to mallow fluff

Oh Cheryl they looked amazing. They were my favourite treat until 18 months ago when I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes so for now they are a no no! I wonder if Kate will make them.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Just made these to take for Easter dinner. My first time working with chocolate so they aren't as pretty but they turned out really well thanks to Cheryl's instructions. One thing I would suggest: if you are using salted butter for the base, I would suggest reducing the salt to 1/4 tsp. The dough was a bit saltier for my taste although that probably will be balanced by the sweet in the marshmallow and chocolate.

[@littlebear853]

Love those! Thank you!

[@bostonrailfan2427]

never expected Fluff to be used in a recipe, unless the US maker(Durkee-Mower) works with a UK maker that stuff came from just down the road from me so it is a nice treat seeing something so close appear in your video 🤩

[@gidget8717]

😯 those look so good! I love marshmellow fluff. A spoon full on a cup of hot chocolate is over the moon delious and of course a fluffernutter sandwich is the best! 😋

[@texgirl4208]

We have a similar snack popular in the American south called Moon Pies. Yours look way more delicious though, especially with the addition of the jam. Recently learned from DNA test that I’m 57% Scottish so I’ll have to give these a try! 😋

[@sandracarrillo8061]

Brits call Moon pies, wagon wheels. They are delicious too.

[@bostonrailfan2427]

the difference is two cookies instead of one, otherwise it’s the same and not so surprising considering how many Scots emigrated down south

[@lindae1116]

I always wondered what moon pies were, now I know 😄

[@alphaandomega7465]

Possibly closer to a mallowmar cookie by Nabisco ☺️

[@JP-js4gx]

Yeah, Moonpies are not the same as Tunnnocks tea cakes at all, the moonpies are actually quite dry in comparison and as mentioned just like (a dryer) wagonwheel. I do like both treats though especially the banana moon pies bit you just cant beat a Tunnocks teacake. You can get the Tunnocks tea cakes in World Market if you have that store in your area but they are around $5 a box.

[@MsMamabo]

Very interesting to see these made. I must be one of the few Scottish people who doesn’t like Tunnocks TeaCakes….so very sweet and I’m not a fan of the sticky goo. We used to get Lees Teacakes when we were little….much smaller with a springier mallow and a wee bit of jam (perhaps where Mr Whatsfortea gets the taste for that?)…I liked them much more. I have no idea if they still make them? Interestingly Lees Snowballs are full of the same fluffy stuff as the Tunnocks TeaCake…blecch!! Love the style of your delivery…so calm and soothing!
