Italian inspired biscuits, apparently chocolate hazlenut spread known the world over as Nutella was invented in Italian by a gentleman named "Ferrero" , who later used this ingredient in the ambassadors favourite chocloate Ferrero Rocher. These little biscuits use chocolate hazelnut spread as their source of chocolatelyness, very easy to make and bake.They are also a perfect foil to a delicious creamy prosecco, ideally served with quality vanilla ice cream or the classic wobbly delight of pannacotta.
Ingredients
3 tbsp chocolate hazelnut spread
50g caster sugar
3 tbsp soft brown sugar
50g softened butter
1 egg
100g of sieved self raising flour
Orange rind, choc chips, raisins are all optional extras
Method
Preheat your oven to 180c
Mix all ingredients together throughly in one bowl
Place dollops of your mixture on a ungreased baking tray
Squish them slightly to flatten with a fork
Bake for 15 - 25 minus until set but not coloured, cooking time depends on the size of your biscuits
Cool on a wire rack
Dust with icing sugar when cool or alternatively you could drizzle with chocolate
These sound lovely, I love Nutella and noticed it is on special offer this week in Tesco. Looks like I'll be getting a jar so I can try these biscuits.

ReplyDeleteAww Mr Ferrero passed away at the weekend so I think we all owe it to him to make these biscuits. Well that's my excuse and I am sticking to it!!
