METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. To make the biscuit base, combine the flour, sugar, coconut, salt and melted butter. Firmly press a tablespoon or so of mixture into the base of each cupcake liner.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden. Allow to cool.
  4. To make the filling, crush the graham crackers finely and mix them with the Nutella. Spread a tablespoon of Nutella mixture over each biscuit base, until it almost reaches the edges of the liners.
  5. To make the topping, melt the chocolate in the microwave oven until it is of a spreadable consistency.
  6. Spread a tablespoon of chocolate over each cup, so it reaches the edges of the liner. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt.
  7. Refrigerate till the chocolate sets.
