Ingredients

1 cup self-raising flour
1 tbs cocoa
30 g butter
1/4 cup caster sugar
1 egg
1 tbs milk
180 g dark chocolate

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
Step 2

Sift flour and cocoa in a medium bowl. Rub in butter to resemble breadcrumbs.
Step 3

In a small saucepan place the milk and caster sugar. Place over low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4

Add egg and warm milk mixture into flour mixture and stir until it forms a soft dough. Turn out on to a lightly floured benchtop and knead dough until smooth.
Step 5

Get an approximately 15g ball of mixture and roll out to a 20cm sausage. Draw the two ends of the sausage up and cross over to form a pretzel shape. Repeat for remaining mixture.
Step 6

Place pretzels on a greased baking tray. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
Step 7

Once biscuits are cooled, melt chocolate in the microwave. Dip each biscuit into the melted chocolate and then drain slightly. Place them on a lined baking tray. Sprinkle with your choice of topping and place in the fridge to set.
