Chocolate & Peanut Butter Bikkies

17/05/2015 By Caralee 8 Comments

Cookies choc PeanutbutterIt’s been a bit of a chilli, stay at home kind of Sunday afternoon and I just felt like a bit of a sweet treat so I made this batch of delicious biscuits. I love the combo of chocolate and peanut, there is something so yummy about it. When I was in New Zealand I purchased a gigantic jar of Pics Peanut Butter, which is 100% natural. The peanuts are sourced from Kingaroy, Qld and the peanut butter is made in Nelson, New Zealand. So it is a bit of an ANZAC product, just like me!

I was pretty happy with how these bikkies turned out and they definitely hit the spot. Perfect with my cup of tea!

      Hi Gemma. In this recipe you really can’t taste the dates so maybe give it a go but if you were really not keen you could try coconut sugar instead. x

    I know how you feel. I’ve been mixing my Pics with vanilla ice cream, it’s easy and instant. But your bikkies heated topped with vanilla ice cream, mmmmmm bring on Sunday.

    Hi. I made these and they didn’t harden at all. I baked them another 10 minutes but still soft. Cooled them in fridge. Still soft like a dough. What do you think I could do to fix? I assume they’re supposed to harden like a biscuit? They are very yummy.

      Hi Liz. They are not really super crunchy and hard like a shop biscuit. Maybe if you made them a bit thinner you might get the desired effect. I am glad that you thought they were yummy though 🙂
