I've meaning to try these chocolate caramel nuggets for a while, but with seasonal baking, then the fact I gave biscuits up for lent I never got around to them until today. I originally came across the recipe on Cherrapeno's blog, then I realised I have a the same Cookie & Biscuit Bible cookbook.
Like Nic, I found this particular cookbook in a book section of a gardening centre. It was the best £5 I've ever spent. It's such a great cookbook, just a shame it's now out of print. I wish I had picked up other copies at the time to give to friends.
I don't have a food processor big enough to make these biscuits so did the first part of the recipe in my mini food processor then finished it off by hand. The eggs I was using were small so ended up using an additional small egg yolk and a splash of milk to get the dough to combine.
The result was a lovely, not too rich, biscuit with the texture and slight taste of shortbread. It was very much like an inside out Millionaire's Shortbread. Perfect with a cuppa. One problem, they are very moreish. One just isn't enough!

These look to die for! I can't wait to make them!
Oh your photo is fantastic Jules! I know these cookies are a bit fiddly to make, but they do taste great and yours look really good.
That is a great book, so many recipes to choose from.
oh goodness, these look amazing!!
I've actually been featuring this book (the US version) on my blog this month! Your cookies look great - mine didn't turn out as well, but they were still delicious!
Lovely cookies Jules, I hope you will be making some more from that cook book.
Mike - you should make some.
stickygooeycreamychewy - They are quite quick to make, but unfortunately don't last very long ;)
Nic - I'm getting better at photos now there is more sunlight in the day. I agree that can be a bit fiddly. When I put them in the oven I wasn't sure if they were going to work as the dough looked speckled and they looked like dodgy ravioli, but they turned out perfectly.
tessa - thank you :)
deborah - I'll have to check out your blog to see the other things you've cooked from this book.
Angela - I look forward to trying other recipes from it.
Fantastic! They look hugely professional! In fact, could you make some to order...? Please? ;)
They look like it's a bit of an effort making them, but well worth it. Yummy.
Yummy! I loved these on Nicisme's blog and you too have made them look wonderful.
aforkful - I could make you some, but I'm not sure they would make it to the post office ;)
sylvie - they can by a bit fiddly, but work really well.
margaret - thank you :)
Jules I have this same book and after viewing your wonderful Chocolate Caramel Nuggests I will be sourcing the recipe out in my book!
