  Brilliant. They went down a storm with my family. Only gripe is that they didn't cut into bars well once the biscuits cooled, as the nuts got in the way and some cut okay and others crumbled. Maybe the way round it is to score lines in the dough in advance and then put nuts within the lines, that way they would cut perfectly. Will make again for xmas for family & friends.

  far far too much chocolate, the only way i could have used it all would have been to completely cover each bar. i threw away quite alot of the plain and although i melted less milk choc i still had too much. other than that lovely.

  I posted an earlier comment and made them again last night, so have learnt by previous experience!! I have found the best thing to do is cut them into bars as soon as they are out of the oven. This is much easier, as the dough is warm & pliable, as well as the nuts (they slice like butter). Then let them cool, separate them slightly and drizzle the chocolate on top. (I too think the amount of chocolate is too much so held back on that).

  Tasted better when made somewhat thinner. also only used a little dark chocolate and that small amount was more than enough for just the taste of chocolate you want to go with it. I've even been asked to make some more already!

  These were great, very easy to make. I used "mixed spice" instead of cinnamon and increased the amount of 3 tsp which I preferred as 1st time round you could hardly taste the spice. I didn't go by the recipe for the amount of chocolate I just melted some a bit at a time. I gave them away as presents and got lots of compliments on them.

  Very easy to make especially with food processor. Used 2 1/2 tsp of cinammon and flavour was just right. Made them for work colleagues but I don't think they will make it to the gift bags! Would definitely recommend these.
