Chocolate Rocks...!


Poor lad was getting hungry, so had to do some baking specially for him

Chocolate rocks..

250g dark chocolate
100g butter
1/2c castor sugar
1t vanilla ess
2 large eggs
1 1/2c flour
1/2t baking pdr
1/4c cocoa
about 1c icing sugar

Oven at 170.

Heat butter and chocolate gently in pot, stirring often until mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat.
Add vanilla ess and castor sugar. Mix with wooden spoon. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing between each.
Sieve in flour, baking pdr, and cocoa. Mix until well combined.

Put mixture into fridge or freezer until cold enough to make into small balls - about 1/2 hr in freezer.

Sift the icing sugar ino large, round flattish bowl. (unsifted icing won't coat biscuits properly)

Working reasonably quickly divide mixture into four. Then divide portions into 20 small balls. Roll each in icing sugar until fairly thickly coated, then place on tray covered with baking paper. Don't knock off excess icing sugar.
Leave 4-5cm between them as they expand while cooking,

Bake for about 10 mins.

Handle and store carefully to prevent icing sugar falling off!

These look great, but are average tasting! I will only bake again if Miss and Master enjoy!
