The Dark Chocolate Knight

As described by one person 'crumbly and melts in your mouth' Also ideal snacking when you need to do some brooding in Gotham. 


Makes 24 - 26 Biscuits

150g Butter
100g Caster Sugar
50g Cocoa Powder
1tsp Cinnamon
225g Plain Flour, plus extra for dusting
100g Dark Chocolate, broken up
100g Milk Chocolate Chips
½ tsp Baking Powder

Topping
175g Dark Chocolate

1. Preheat the oven to 180c/160 fan assisted. In a food processor mix the butter and sugar together. Then melt the dark chocolate in a bowl over boiling water on the hob or in the microwave. Once fully melted add to the food processor and mix.

2.  Add the flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon and baking powder and give another mix til everything had combined. Finally mix in the chocolate chips. The mixture should be solid. If runny add more flour and if too dry add some melted butter. Put in cling film and but in fridge for about 10 minutes.

3. Put some greaseproof paper and put on trays. Take the dough and put on floured surface. It will be easy to roll out as the chips will stop you rolling out too thin. Should be the thickness of a pound coin. Once rolled out take either a batman butter or a round cutter and cut into shapes and put on tray.

4. Put in the oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Melt the other dark chocolate. Then dip each biscuit in the chocolate to cover one side of the biscuit. Put on a wire rack for the chocolate to cool.
