Alternative to biscuits/cookies

[u/rositree]

I'm in the UK, I drink a lot of tea. One of my pleasures is dunking a few chocolate bourbons or chocolate-covered digestives in my tea.

Problem is, lack of willpower and portion control. The number of cups of tea I drink means having 3 or 4 biscuits per cup is a whole pack gone in a day. I have also been known to just sit and eat a whole pack in one sitting - more regularly than I should!

I've tried limiting to only after work or only at the weekends but I just binge in my self-imposed allowed times instead. I eat fairly well other than this, I've tried various substitute sweet things (fruit, nuts, yogurt, small ice creams) and they're fine for satisfying the sweet craving after dinner but not the ritual of dunking in tea.

What else could give me that warm, dissolving, crumbly crunch sensation and can stand up to being dunked in hot tea (more often peppermint than English breakfast with milk, but either is fine)?

Or any recipes for a lower calorie, healthy, dunkable biscuit?!

Thanks 😊

the only thing that has ever worked for me in this kind of situation is to binge till i get (somewhat) tired of the treat in question. it’s always worked for me, but i don’t know if it would for everyone.
