Hi, Today I am sharing some Nutella Cherry Biscuits that i’m sure you will not be able to resist 🙂
I used mixed chocolate chips in my biscuits but you can also just use one type or even roughly cut some chocolate and use that instead.
You could also use glacier cherries instead of  maraschino cherries.  Maraschino cherries have quite a big flavour but lets not pretend thats not a good thing 🙂  You can add a whole cherry to your biscuit but then I would suggest that you make the biscuits a bit bigger in size.
These Nutella Cherry Biscuits do not take long at all to bake and they may remind you a bit of a brownie in texture too, they are really tasty.  Be careful when melting the butter and nutella that you do not burn the mixture.  Keep your eye on it and keep stirring and remove from the heat when all the butter has melted and the nutella has warmed through.
I think we are going to have some good weather this weekend but I am not sure what we will be getting up to 🙂  Have you got something planned?
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, enjoy xx
