Choco buttons

This recipe for choco buttons isn't from the Edmonds Cookery Book but is similar in style. I remember my mother baking these when we were kids and we would dig into the bag of chocolate buttons while she was putting the rest of the mixture together. They are really easy to bake at the same time as cooking dinner, which is lucky as they nearly were our dinner tonight!
