Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line three baking trays with parchment.

Spread chocolate on the base of each biscuit and mark a zigzag with a fork.

Melt butter, sugar, and syrup in a pan over gentle heat.

Stir flour, fruit, peel, and nuts into the melted mixture.

Spoon 18 teaspoonfuls onto trays leaving space for spreading.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden-brown and transfer to a cooling rack.

Temper half the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until it hits 53°C.

Stir in remaining chopped chocolate until the temperature cools to 26°C.
