Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 150 C / 300F Gas 2
  2. Make the first shortbread , sift together the flour salt and sugar.
  3. Cut butter into small cubes.
  4. Mix in blender until the mixture combines.
  5. Knead lightly, wrap in cling flim then place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  6. Follow the same step for the second shortbread but include the cocoa with the flour (put in fridge for 30 minutes)
  7. Roll out both doughs on a lightly floured surface into equal-sized rectangles about 1cm (1/2 in ) thick.
  8. Place the plain shortbread on a sheet of greaseproof paper , place the chocolate shortbread on top of the plain one and then put the chopped chocolate onto the middle of the shortbread and scatter the smaller shards over the rest of the surface.
  9. Carefully roll the shortbread like a swiss roll, as tightly as possible, using the greaseproof paper to support it.
  10. (Don't worry if it breaks or the chocolate pokes through.)
  11. Once rolled, pinch both ends together to prevent the chocolate falling out.
  12. Then using both hands, squeeze until it is 22cm long.
  13. Using a very sharp knife slice the roll into 1cm (1/2 inch ) slices.
  14. Lay well spaced on to a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
  15. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the plain shortbread has darkened slightly to a light golden colour.
  16. Do take care as these can burn quite easily if not watched.
  17. Cool completely on a wire rack.
