Note
Low Chemical / FAILSAFE
When honeycomb comes into contact with air it goes soft and gooey, which makes the top of these biscuits very yummy.
Best decorated on the day you want to serve them, but last quite well for 2 - 3 days. The biscuits keep extremely well and can be made days or weeks in advance and stored in an airtight container.
You can use any biscuit dough, but I use this one; my favourite combination is made with chocolate and wholemeal flour variation of the biscuit dough.
The number of biscuits made depends on the size of the cutters used.
