Coffee & Marzipan Biscuits with chocolate on top

Hi! :) 

Do You like biscuits?

This one I baked for our 4th anniversary for my boyfriend.

 Usually I bake a cake, or cupcakes for these events, but this time I decided to bake heart shaped biscuits. I think they are cute enough for the occasion. :D

 He likes coffee, I like marzipan, and we both adore chocolate, so this recipe needed to happen. :) 

(I got roses from him, and also we decided to live together, so it was a big event. :) ) 

The biscuit got a lot of good complaints, so I can recommend this to You as well. :)
