Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (convection).
Cream together the butter, light syrup, and sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cocoa, and salt, then beat it into the butter mixture.
Divide the dough into two portions and roll each into long logs. Place the logs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them as they will spread slightly. Flatten the dough gently with your fingers and sprinkle with pearl sugar.
Bake in the oven for about 14 minutes. Let the slices cool slightly, then cut them into bars. Store the chocolate slices in a cookie tin once completely cooled.
Enjoy!
