  4. Add the dry mixture to the butter and syrup mixture and combine well with a wooden spoon or spatula. Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment.
  5. Place teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to the baking sheets, leaving plenty of room for them to spread. Bake for 10 minutes until dark golden brown, remove from the oven and use a knife to push the edges in so they're not too lacy at the sides. Leave on the baking sheets until hardened, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and crisp up.

  7. Eat when the chocolate has set.
