First crack on with the filling. Break the chocolate into a medium heatproof bowl. Sit it over a pan of barely simmering water (a bain marie) and allow the chocolate to melt, give it a occasional stir. Make sure not to overcook the chocolate, we don't want any grainy bits!⠀
Once melted bung in the rest of the filling ingredients. Stir till fully combined. Pop in the fridge to firm up whilst you get on with the biscuits.
Put the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla and salt into a large bowl. Mix with a hand held mixer till combined. Add in 3/4 of the oats and mix again for a minute or so until the oats are coarse and stodgy. Add in the remaining oats and stir by hand till all the oats are coated-this will give the biscuits a nice texture.
On a large baking tray, put 2 heaped tbsps of oat mix into a 3 inch round cutter. Using a small spoon, spread till it's in an even layer, then push down with the back of a spoon or a small cylinder item (I used my vanilla extract bottle!) till its tightly packed. Repeat until you all 16 biscuits on 2 trays.
Whack into a preheated oven on the mid/top shelf at 180c for 15-20 mins till golden. Leave for 5 mins on the tray, then move onto a cooling rack.
Once all biscuits have been baked and cooled it’s time to fill these bad boys. Turn 8 biscuits over and grab the filling out the fridge. Roll 1.5 tbsp of the filling into a ball with the palm of your hands. Place into the middle of a turned over biscuit, push down and mould till the whole biscuit base is covered. Pop a biscuit on top and your first ones finito! Repeat, sandwich and eat. ⠀
