Recipe by Meg Rose.
Melting Moments are one of those biscuits you bite into for the first time and wonder why it's taken you so long to jump on the Melting Moments bandwagon. Usually laden with added sugar this recipe not only offers a sugar-free alternative but offers that melting moment experience with a chocolate hazelnut filling, what's not to love!
