Triple Chocolate Biscuits

Triple Chocolate Biscuits

Our kids love chocolate hazelnut spread and when we saw some on sale, we decided to grab it. They love eating it straight from the jar, so I had to get in quickly to grab some to make these biscuits.

With these biscuits, placing the mixture into the fridge for 20 minutes is a part that can’t be missed. This helps the dough to roll into balls easier and the icing sugar to stick better once rolled.

After baking, you could decorate the biscuits by drizzling with melted white chocolate and then sprinkling with chocolate flakes or 100’s and 1000’s. Our personal choice is to have them plain or sometimes, drizzled with a little white chocolate.
