These chocolate-covered biscuit sticks are a nostalgic, crowd-pleasing treat that has stood the test of time in your household. Crisp, buttery biscuit dough is baked into slender sticks and then dipped in rich, velvety chocolate—creating a snack that’s both elegant and addictive. Whether made in one pan or two, they vanish quickly, a testament to their irresistible flavor and texture.
Perfect for gifting, sharing, or indulging with tea or coffee, these treats blend simplicity with indulgence. They’re ideal for family gatherings, school lunchboxes, or cozy evenings. The recipe is easy to scale, and the sticks can be customized with toppings like crushed nuts, coconut, or sprinkles for added flair.
🧂 INGREDIENTS:
For the Biscuit Sticks:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for smoothness and shine)
Optional Toppings:
- Crushed almonds or pistachios
- Shredded coconut
- Colored sprinkles
- Sea salt flakes
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line one or two baking trays with parchment paper. - Make the Dough
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated. - Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. - Shape the Sticks
Divide the dough into small portions. Roll each into a thin stick about 4 inches long and ½ inch thick. Place them on the baking tray, spaced slightly apart. - Bake to Perfection
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The sticks should be firm but not overly browned. Let them cool completely on a wire rack. - Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy. - Dip & Decorate
Using tongs or fingers, dip each cooled biscuit stick into the melted chocolate. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with your chosen toppings. - Set & Store
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or refrigerate for faster results. Once firm, store in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week—though they rarely last that long!
🌟 TIPS & VARIATIONS:
- Flavor Twist: Add orange zest or cinnamon to the dough for a subtle flavor boost.
- Double Batch: Make two pans if you want leftovers—though they’ll likely disappear by lunch!
- Kid-Friendly: Let kids decorate with sprinkles or drizzle white chocolate for fun patterns.
- Gifting Idea: Wrap in cellophane with a ribbon and a handwritten note—perfect for neighbors or holiday treats.
