"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)."

"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."

"I made this dough at the weekend and divided it in 2, so half for chrismassy biscuits and half for the choc nut bars recipe that is on this website. A roaring success!! As per previous comments I didn't have the oven temperature so worked on 160 fan oven (180 normal oven) and they came out fine. Will make again for xmas to give away to pepole as pressies."

"I made these to try them out as a possible alternative to mince pies for Christmas. They taste wonderful and have gone down a storm with my work colleagues and family!! I substituted the mixed spice with a couple of teaspoons of cinnamon instead to give them a Christmasy feel. I will be making them again for Christmas."
