You can get any number of chocolate-coated biscuits, but dammit I just want a simple chocolate shortbread or near offer. Hell, I'd settle for a giant Tiny Teddy, though those too are a bit industrial.

Just give me a pack of bourbons without the cream in, that'd do fine.

Is this some terribly rare niche interest all of a sudden? Am I really the only person in this country who would buy such a thing?

Yes I know I can make my own, it's just tedious - and the lack of demand for anything like it confuses and enrages me.

Florentines are the greatest 'choc' biscuit, imho. (Usually need to go to Italian mercato style places to get good ones)

Could have been Kingstons on the top, but they're 42% sugar, it's just too much.

PS. You may want to try Mcvitie's Digestives for a simple choc biscuit.

Both Kingstons and choc Digestives are regular biscuits with chocolate coating/filling, so they're not what OP is looking for.

They are excellent - but yeah, I'm looking for cocoa powder in the dough vs chocolate applied afterwards :)

OK, gotcha.

You may have to put that 'El Dorado' to bed and settle for Florentines :P

Otherwise, we have had success finding quality flavoured shortbread biscuits at the farmer's markets type places. If they don't make a choc flavour, you can at least talk face to face with the person who chooses and makes the flavours for the next week.
