    Make the ganache filling: Combine chocolate and olive oil in a small bowl. Microwave in 10 second bursts, stirring regularly, until chocolate is smooth. Stir through the peanut butter.

    Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper.

  3. Step 3

    In a large saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, margarine, sugar, golden syrup, water, and salt. Stir until mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.

    Scoop dough into prepared trays to make 40 biscuits – approx. 1/2 tablespoon each.  Leave a bit of space between biscuits for spreading, and gently flatten the tops with a wet finger.

  6. Step 6

    Bake 8 minutes or until golden. Cool completely on pan.

  7. Step 7

    Turn half the biscuits over so the bottom is facing up. Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of ganache onto each up-turned biscuit, then sandwich with remaining biscuits. Let set at room temperature, or store in fridge.
