Lets #BakeTogether - The Monte Carlo

Arnott’s believes There is No Substitute for connecting with family and friends over the sharing of a biscuit, and there has never been a more important time to do so. What better way to connect with those you live with than by baking an Arnott’s classic biscuit… at home!

That’s right, for the first time ever, Arnott’s will be releasing home inspired recipes to some of your favourite biscuits. Bring your own flair and baking style, so that whilst these biscuits might not turn out exactly like the ones in the shops, they’ll be full of the fun and memories you’ve spent baking over a delicious Arnott’s creation.
