A biscuit is a wonderful thing, it’s the classic companion of a cup of tea and shortbread particularly reminds me of my Grandma who could whip up a batch with 1 eye closed.
But wouldn’t it be even more brilliant if something that brings so much delicious joy could also benefit us from a nutritional perspective? And also be just a little bit more adventurous than the classic?
Well I think it would personally which is why these gorgeous crumbly beauties use a fraction of the sugar of the regular versions, look to naturally gluten free and dairy free ingredients so all can enjoy them, and are of course dappled with divine chunks of Seed & Bean Lavender chocolate for a delicately floral and intensely indulgent flavour.
A recipe to revolutionise tea time forever.
I’ll go and put the kettle on.
