When you need a little 'pick me up' nothing can beat a homemade chocolate biscuit accompanied by a fresh and flavoursome cup of jasmine green tea! I made these biscuits yesterday using plain white organic flour from Doves Farm and Montezuma's 73% cocoa, very dark organic chocolate. Both companies are family owned and passionate about what they do - read their stories using the links below. 

Neatly stored away in a Kilner airtight jar. A perfect gift for a biscuit lover and I have just the person in mind!
