1/2 cup ground walnuts
100g dark chocolate
2 tablespoons corn glucose syrup
3 tablespoons full-cream milk
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets in Suva or Nadi, particularly in the baking supplies aisle. If corn glucose syrup is unavailable, a high-quality light corn syrup makes a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, plain flour, sugar, margarine, and ground walnuts until a smooth dough forms.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (moderate heat).
- Grease and lightly flour a baking tray.
- Shape the dough into small, uniform balls and place them onto the prepared tray.
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden.
- While the biscuits are in the oven, prepare the filling: melt the chopped dark chocolate with the corn glucose syrup, milk, and butter in a bain-marie.
- Stir continuously until you reach a thick, smooth, and uniform consistency.
- Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool until lukewarm.
- Once the biscuits have completely cooled, sandwich them together in pairs using the chocolate filling.
