Very crisp biscuits coated in a little dark chocolate really do remind you of eating a crunchy bar. Another idea – crush a little storebought hokey pokey in your fingers and sprinkle over the chocolate before it sets.
Ingredients
| 125 g | Butter |
| ¾ cup | Caster sugar |
| 1 Tbsp | Golden syrup (Main) |
| 1 Tbsp | Milk |
| 2 cups | Plain flour (Main) |
| 1 tsp | Baking soda |
To dip
| 150 g | Dark chocolate, broken into small pieces |
Directions
- Heat the oven to 180C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the butter, caster sugar, golden syrup and milk in a heavy-based saucepan and place over low heat. Allow the butter to melt and sugar to dissolve, bringing almost up to a boil. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
- Sift the flour and baking soda into the butter mixture and stir to combine. Place large teaspoonfuls on the prepared tray, keeping as round as you can. Use a fork to press down a little.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until a dark golden colour. You will also smell when they are cooked. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- To dip, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water and melt. Ensure you have a small amount of water in the saucepan as you don't want it to touch the base of the bowl. Remove bowl and set aside. Place a sheet of baking paper on the bench top. Half dip the cooled biscuits into the chocolate then leave to set on the baking paper.
- Once the chocolate is set, store biscuits in an airtight container.
