Heat the oven to 180c/160c fan/gas 4.
Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and creamy. Ad the flour and drinking chocolate or cocoa powder, it will make a soft dough. Bring the dough together with your hands then roll into about 12 balls.
Place the balls of dough onto 2 ungreased baking trays, allowing room for them to spread when baked, and flatten each slightly with a fork.
Bake the biscuits for 10 minutes. Then leave to cool on the tray.
Meanwhile, make the icing. Melt the chocolate and butter in a bowl over a pan of just simmering water. Stir until smooth, then beat in the cream. Cool slightly and use to sandwich the cooled biscuits
