Afghan biscuits

Despite the fact that the all blacks keeps winning the games, I still love these kiwi little snacks...Afghan biscuits.. the colour of my Afghan biscuit is darker than normal because I added more chocolate into it and sprinkle some almond flake on top as well.. A lovely friend, Kathy from Brissie introduced these biscuits to me many years ago..
