The Perfect Chocolate Biscuit

Posted by on Aug 14, 2007 in Cooking, Ramblings | 0 comments I have created the perfect chocolate biscuit. The first batch I made were good, but pretty fudgy. This last batch? Ooo-la-la, boy oh boy, BABY! They were truly a biscuit. You could close your eyes and take a bite and your first thought would be “Mmmm, that’s a good biscuit.
