White Choc & Raspberry 'cheesecake' Finger Biscuits --- Mmmm

Submitted by JinxTheCat

"These are really great luxury biscuits. Simple to accomplish but just perfect for a night in, picnic, kids lunch boxes or to show off at the next coffee morning! ;P I usually make these in an 8x8 square tin and (when done) cut into 8 long strips, then half each strip - i.e. you should end up with 16: 1 inch wide x 4 inches long, fingers. If you cannot find any freeze dried raspberry pieces then you can use just the sauce for the biscuit, but use an extra teaspoon to get the flavouring. Enjoy!"
