Delicious, scrumptious and highly addictive little shortbread butter biscuits with chocolate in the middle.

I have had this recipe on my ‘to-bake’ list for over a year and since I first tasted them at my friend Peter Church’s book launch. He is the author of two books. The first is  ’Dark Video‘, the second ‘A Bitter pill’ – both edgy thrillers set in and around Cape Town, and worth a read if you haven’t already.

You find the best recipes in the most interesting places.

After biting into these soft and crumbly shortbread biscuits and then experiencing the unexpected joy if finding a lump of chocolate in the middle, I was sent directly to food heaven.

I hunted the recipe down. I took a photo of the recipe. I lost the photo of the recipe. I had to hunt it down again.

The recipe came from one Peter’s children’s school cookbooks. The ones where various parents contribute their favourite recipe. You know the ones? I totally love these books because people always put their best tried-and-tested recipes forward.

The recipe is short and the instructions easy, so Peter was able to tweet them to me.

I used some Cadburys milk chocolate  and some Valrhona Guanja which gives these biscuits a more sophisticated taste. Use whatever chocolate you prefer.
