Hot Chocolate Teacup Biscuits

These adorable hot chocolate teacup biscuits were so fun to make.  It has a biscuit for the saucer, a marshmallow for the cup and half a musk lolly for the cup handle and to top it off, a delicious chocolate ganache on top for the hot chocolate.

Not only are these teacup biscuits so cute to make, they also taste so delicious with the combination of biscuit, soft marshmallow, chocolate ganache and the musk lolly. I'm not a big fan of musk lollies but this combination tasted so good together.

These are easy and fun to decorate as you don't need to use a piping bag.  The biscuit saucer doesn't need to be perfectly iced as you put the marshmallow on top of it and you also sprinkle hot chocolate powder over the whole teacup biscuit.

Hope you bake some soon.
