Chocolate Mornin Biscuits
Chocolate Mornin Biscuits are a delightful treat featuring tender biscuits dipped in a rich cocoa and sugar glaze, topped with a buttery vanilla flavor. Perfect for breakfast or dessert, they appeal to chocolate lovers and those seeking a sweet, comforting snack with a hint of decadence.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine and mix it with cocoa, sugar, milk, and vanilla to create the chocolate glaze.
- Pour the mixture into an 8 x 8-inch square pan.
- Dip each biscuit into the mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
- Place the dipped biscuits in the pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 to 25 minutes until biscuits are cooked through and the glaze is set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer glaze, consider using unsweetened chocolate instead of cocoa powder. If you want a lighter option, you can substitute half of the margarine with applesauce. Make sure to thoroughly coat the biscuits for the best flavor absorption. Adjust baking time based on your oven, as some may cook faster or slower. These biscuits can also be served warm with a scoop of ice cream, similar to a dessert version of American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
These Chocolate Mornin Biscuits are delightful on their own or served with a dollop of whipped cream. For a complete breakfast, pair them with fresh fruit or yogurt. They also go well with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa, making them a perfect treat for brunch. For a fun twist, try serving them alongside Frank'S Peanut Butter Fudge for a sweet combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you prefer them warm, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it may make them soggy. For longer storage, freeze the baked biscuits in a freezer-safe bag for up to two months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular butter instead of margarine?
Yes, you can substitute regular butter for margarine in this recipe. It will enhance the flavor and richness of the glaze. Just ensure it is melted before mixing with the other ingredients to achieve a smooth consistency.
What can I do if I don't have cocoa powder?
If cocoa powder is unavailable, you can use carob powder as a substitute, keeping in mind it has a different flavor profile. Alternatively, you could try using a chocolate syrup, but reduce the sugar in the recipe accordingly.
Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to the biscuits?
Absolutely! Adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can enhance the texture and flavor of the biscuits. Just fold them into the biscuit mixture before dipping them in the glaze for an extra crunch.
