65g standard bar and the bars in 4pks are 8pp. Is half the duo 50g? 6pp maybe? Different size bars on esource x

Nairns Dark Choc Oat biscuits just 1pp each & delicious!!
They are more filling than a regular biscuit & as they are oat based they are slow-release energy woop
Bonus - wheat free! (not gluten free)
I have 2 with a banana & a coffee as a 2pp filling snack
(the app won't let me post the photo! But they stock them near the belvita in our Sainsbury's... will try again later with the pic!)

I think I'm going to check this one with my leader this week, every single bit of reference material I can lay my hands on says 6 points for a standard one and 8 for a duo. If all their books/esource/iPhone app etc are wrong, they need to know.

On the app - it gives a couple of 'bar' size options. Maybe there was a 50g bar? The 65g bar is def on esource xx

Let us know what your leader says. I've checked on my calculator 3 times and it comes up as 8 each time. Wouldn't be the first time the books/esource are marked up wrong to be honest. I don't often use my books etc, always work it out myself to be on the safe side x

Our leader tell us always to go with whatever the calculator works it out as, the book is often for one specific brand and can be different for alot of stuff. But the bar itself from Cadbury is 8pp for a standard bar. I've worked it out from the bar and from my fitness pal with the calculator. xx

Yea the leader always told (even on the old plan) to check EVERYTHING with your calculator as the books are only a general guide.. And almost every brand will have a different PP value as they each use diff ingredients..
I mean the most basic "error" is the value the book gives for bread. It says 1pp for 1, n 3pp for 2.. But the majority of breads I've pointed are 2pp each and 5pp for 2 slices.. Tho I have found a nice tasty one thats 1pp for 1, n 3pp for 2 But the majority are more so in reality it shud giv the higher PP's in the book.. Ai know loads of ppl that never checked their breads until it was pointed out to them so they had been under pointing each time.. It is a pain but the book is just a guide...
