These proved rather a challenge! The recipe was easy enough, and even the piping of the fingers was fine. What Mary does not mention is that they are incredibly fragile.
The first challenge was to get them off the tray in one piece. Although they were not stuck to the baking tray, several of them broke as the slice moved them!
The next challenge was to dip them in chocolate. After a few unsuccessful attempts to dip ( and several more breakages), I decided to spoon the chocolate over.
As you can see from the carnage below, there were lots of viennese casualties. In fact the 7 in the top picture were the only surviving complete ones. The irony was however, that I put them in the fridge to set the chocolate, and the chocolate then stuck to the plate, so most of them broke anyway as they were removed from the plate! On a positive note, they were delicious and melted in the mouth. They scored
8.75, but be warned, to say that they are "short" is an understatement! Handle with care!
