If the biscuits are no more than a month expired, then yes, it is safe. If the biscuits are completely dehydrated and still inside the original package, then they are still safe to eat. If the biscuits are stored as instructed, then they will usually be safe to eat. Dry, room-temperature (68-72 degrees Fahrenheit) biscuits are a hostile environment to live pathogens like bacteria. Of course, any biscuits, no matter how old, may still hold endospores.
In short, if the biscuit does not show signs of having been affected by its surroundings (dampness, mold, dirt, et cetera) it is still safe to eat, far past the expiration date. however the chances of a biscuit not being affected by its environment are rare, if the biscuit has come packaged in a thin membrane like wax paper or certain plastics.
Biscuits are considered non-perishables for this reason.

You can eat expired Corn Flakes if they look and smell okay. The date on the box is not actually an expiration date, it is a best if used by date. The Corn Flakes are not as fresh after that date.

For the most part yes, though I do suggest caution as some may go stale and the taste of stale nuts simply disgusting, just ate an oats and chocolate one myself that was almost a year past date and it was perfectly fine

Don't eat foods that are past their expiration dates. Cereals just taste like cardboard and might make you sick. Never ever eat canned goods past their expiration dates.

Ignore the idiot who said you'd die if you did, the majority of expiry dates are only on food because they are required by the government on food products, just ate a granola bar a year out of date myself, it was just a good as one that's not "expired"

This depends on the length of time they have been expired. If they have expired for under four months, then it is usually safe to use because all herbs have strong preservative properties. Anything longer than four months means that fungi might have developed within the herb, and the kinds of fungi that develop within herbs are definitely not safe to eat.
