Triple Chocolate Biscuits – Simple Living. Creative Learning http://livelaughlovedo.com/sustainable-living/triple-chocolate-biscuits-simple-living-creative-learning/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/sustainable-living/triple-chocolate-biscuits-simple-living-creative-learning/#respond Sun, 07 Sep 2025 03:08:48 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/09/07/triple-chocolate-biscuits-simple-living-creative-learning/ [ad_1]

These Triple Chocolate Biscuits are so easy to make and taste delicious – chocolate, crunchy on the outside with a soft middle.

Triple Chocolate BiscuitsTriple Chocolate Biscuits

Triple Chocolate Biscuits

Our kids love chocolate hazelnut spread and when we saw some on sale, we decided to grab it. They love eating it straight from the jar, so I had to get in quickly to grab some to make these biscuits.

With these biscuits, placing the mixture into the fridge for 20 minutes is a part that can’t be missed. This helps the dough to roll into balls easier and the icing sugar to stick better once rolled.

After baking, you could decorate the biscuits by drizzling with melted white chocolate and then sprinkling with chocolate flakes or 100’s and 1000’s. Our personal choice is to have them plain or sometimes, drizzled with a little white chocolate.

  • Chocolate hazelnut spread
  • Butter

Making Triple Chocolate Biscuits

Place the chocolate spread and butter in a saucepan or a microwavable jug.

In a mixing bowl, add the caster sugar, egg, flour, cocoa powder, chocolate chips and bicarbonate of soda and mix well.

Mix through the melted chocolate / butter mix.

Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Place the ball onto the prepared tray and press down slightly. Place the balls about 6 cm apart to allow for spreading.

Bake for 12 minutes for softer biscuits or 15 minutes for crunchy biscuits.

Remove from oven and allow to cool on tray.

Decorate with melted chocolate, chocolate flakes and sprinkles if you wish.

Storing Chocolate Biscuits 

Place cooled biscuits in an airtight container and store on the bench for a few days. 

For longer storage, place the container in the fridge or use a freezer safe container and store in the freezer.
