The combination of chocolate and coconut is what makes Romany Cream biscuits so irresistible.

There are some biscuits that hardly need an introduction. Romany Creams are one of them.

The chocolate and coconut combination has been a familiar treat in South African homes for years, and making your own batch is easier than you might think.

The dough is mixed, rolled and cut before baking; then the biscuits are joined with melted milk chocolate. The trick is not to get carried away with the chocolate when sandwiching them. A little is enough.

It is tempting to add plenty of chocolate when putting the biscuits together, but it does not take much.
