Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 100g 70% dark chocolate
  • 12 pepper lebkuchen biscuits

Instructions

1

Over a double boiler, melt the chocolate until runny. Set aside to cool slightly until thickened – it should be able to spread easily without running everywhere.

With a pallet knife or spoon, spread the chocolate onto one biscuit and sandwich with another. Place the chocolate sandwiches on a sheet of wax paper and leave to set for about 10 minutes.

Notes

Cook's tip: These can be kept in an airtight container for about five days.
