I made these for the DS's recreation music group were they were well received but I think I really made a mistake in using a rich dark chocolate to coat them (my personal preference - I think they would have preferred a milk chocolate but it was all I had). I got 21 large biscuits from the mix and baked them for 10 minutes at 150C fan forced oven and only used 200 grams of chocolate to coat (melted a 100 grams at a time in the microwave). Thank you Tisme, made for Aussie/NZ Recipe Wap #39 April 2010.

Expect these to disapear! I really did not expect for these to come out that good after I baked them but I was wrong! My family loved them. Lucky for me I took a quick photo before they ate them all.
