Hazelnut and Chocolate Biscuits

Delightful hazelnut and chocolate biscuits produced to a traditional recipe and recalling the Victorian ritual of afternoon tea. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, or presented as a gift for any biscuit lover. Afternoon tea as a social institution is generally credited to Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, who in the 1840s began requesting a light meal in the late afternoon to stave off the long gap between luncheon and dinner, a habit she soon began extending to friends, establishing a new and enduring tradition of sociable refreshment. The pairing of rich nuts and chocolate in biscuits and confectionery became fashionable in the later Victorian period as improved trade routes brought hazelnuts from continental Europe and high-quality chocolate from newly industrialised confectionery houses, transforming afternoon tea into an occasion of considerable culinary refinement.
