Decadent and oh-so good with a cuppa. If you don’t have time to make the marshmallo­w filling, use a little Marshmallo­w Fluff spread instead.

Hands-on time 45min, plus chilling and cooling. Cooking time about 20min. Makes 8

FOR THE BISCUITS 175g plain flour, plus extra to dust 50g icing sugar

125g unsalted butter, chilled and chopped FOR THE FILLING

1 medium egg white 3tbsp caster sugar ½tbsp golden syrup 75g raspberry jam FOR THE COATING 175g dark chocolate, roughly chopped 175g milk chocolate, roughly chopped

1 For the biscuits, whizz the ingredient­s in a food processor until mixture starts to clump together. Tip on to a work surface and knead to bring

together. Shape into a disc, wrap in clingfilm and chill for 1hr.

2 Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and line 2 large baking sheets with baking parchment. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to 3mm thick. Stamp out 16 circles using an 8cm round cutter, re-rolling trimmings as needed. Arrange on lined sheets (they don’t spread much) and bake for 10-12min, or until sandy to the touch (they will firm on cooling). Leave to cool completely on the sheets.

3 Meanwhile, make the marshmallo­w filling. In a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, beat egg white, sugar, golden syrup and a pinch of salt with a handheld electric whisk until mixture has doubled in size and is the consistenc­y of stiffly whipped double cream, about 8min. Transfer to a piping bag (either fitted with a 5mm nozzle or you can snip the bag later) and set aside.

4 To assemble, cut 8 x 8cm baking parchment circles (draw around your biscuit cutter for ease). Arrange on a wire rack that’s set over a baking tray. Next, melt chocolates in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly. Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the top of 8 of the biscuits. Snip a 5mm hole in the end of your piping bag, if needed, and pipe a spiral of marshmallo­w over the jam of each base, to cover. Top with the remaining biscuits, so you have 8 sandwiches. Smooth the sides with a small palette knife, if needed.

5 Dunk the base of each sandwich into the melted chocolate and then place each on a parchment circle. Transfer remaining chocolate to a jug and pour over the sandwiched biscuits, using a palette knife to ensure all sides are evenly coated. Chill in fridge to set. Peel off base parchment before serving.
