Dark Chocolate & Walnut Biscuits
One of the things that I love more than anything about baking biscuits is that you don’t have to worry about the whole batch looking like one, uniform bake. You can enjoy the fact that each biscuit has it’s own personality, shape and feel to it!
And that rings true with these particular biscuits. To me, each one should be it’s own character for friends and family to enjoy! Little splodges of heaven.
