Dr. Quendt Dinkelchen with Milk Chocolate, 3 oz (85g)

Little spelt crispbreads, half of the pack is chocolate. Dinkelchen are small, very crunchy biscuits made from spelt rather than wheat, then coated in milk chocolate at 50% of the finished weight — so you get as much chocolate as biscuit.

Spelt gives them a nuttier, slightly darker flavour than a plain wheat cookie, and the bran left in keeps them properly crisp rather than short. Spelt flour and bran make up 33% of the base.

From Dr. Quendt in Dresden, the same bakery behind Russisch Brot. A coffee biscuit rather than a children's one.
