Chocolate biscuits
Description
Chocolate biscuits are crunchy, often thin cookies with an intense cocoa flavor and a sweet, slightly bitter note of chocolate, usually dark in color with a smooth or slightly grainy texture. They are crispy when bitten into and pair well with drinks and creams, creating a pleasant contrast of textures. Their taste can vary depending on the cocoa content and additions such as chocolate chips or nuts. Nutritionally, chocolate biscuits mainly provide carbohydrates and fats, with a small amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals; dark cocoa adds antioxidants (flavonoids). Due to their sugar and fat content, they should be consumed in moderation as a quick source of energy and mood enhancement. They are perfect as a snack with coffee and tea, an ingredient in desserts (cheesecake bases, layers in tiramisu, toppings for ice cream), and a base for cookie creams. They should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and strong odors; for longer storage, they can be frozen tightly packed.
