Peanut Chocolate Sandwich Biscuit
This was going to be a blog post about my new high protein, low calorie but still totally delicious peanut biscuits. I was going to tell you about just how easy they are too make, about the fact that you only need one bowl and a spoon.
I was going to emphasise that they are made with coconut sugar and impress you with the use of peanut flour at a whopping 50% protein content. I was going to tell you about how light and crunchy they are - but then on the day I was making them for my photos I was also making my chocolate peanut fudge and as I looked from one to the other I couldn’t help but wonder what these would taste like together.
I couldn’t help but place a spoonful of the chocolate peanut fudge between two biscuits. I really really couldn’t help but taste it and then I really couldn’t think about anything but how delicious these two were together and, whilst everything I was going to tell you was still true, did anything but the sheer yumminess of these completely moreish sandwich biscuits really matter?
