Chocolate Crackle-top Biscuits

So my husband LOVES all things CHOCOLATE! and I however....do not! (except a block of chocolate...yeh id eat the whole thing!) So to keep myself from not having to enter the biggest loser later in my life, I like to make alot of chocolate goodies, so I wont eat them!!

Heres a yummy and very easy recipe for the weekly baked goods bowl:

1. Placer butter and 50g (HALF) chocolate in a heatproof, mircrowave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered for 1-2minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth
2. Using an electric mixer, beat egg and brown sugar in a small bowl on high speed until thick.
3. Stir in chocolate mixture.
4. Sift flour, baking powder and cocoa over chocolate mixture and mix well.
