Make Biscuits
Make Chocolate Icing
Tip
These are quite a soft crumbly biscut due to the high butter content. They are both crunchy from the cornflakes and will melt in the mouth at the same time. Please handle with care whilst icing them.
If using salted butter leave out the additional pinch of salt in the biscuits.
If these are required for school lunches and need to be nut free just omit the walnut and replace with a freckle or some coconut.
If you need these to be egg free, just omit the egg and increase the butter to 100gr.
If these need to be dairy free use Nutlex instead of butter.
