Recipe- Chocolate Nera Cookies Specially For Kids

Nero or Polo? Both! Because Nero & Polo are an inseparable biscuit duo which sweeten our Advent in two delicious ways! The chocolatey shortcrust pastry is quickly made, piped onto a baking tray and baked. Next, Nero & Polo are dipped in chocolate before resting on baking paper to dry and are then ready to be enjoyed by you! Try it our Chocolate Dipped Biscuits!
