Pick nuts and biscuits (5,8)

I believe the answer is:

cream crackers

'biscuits' is the definition.
(cream cracker is a type of biscuit)

'pick nuts' is the wordplay.
'pick' becomes 'cream' (synonyms).
'nuts' becomes 'crackers' (synonyms).
'cream'+'crackers'='CREAM CRACKERS'

'and' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
