Kiwis are proud to call this chocolaty, crunchy classic their own.

An NZ favourite, Afghans are rich, chocolatey biscuits with a satisfying crunch from cornflakes. Topped with a generous dollop of chocolate icing and a walnut, they’re simple to make and always a hit. Perfect for filling the biscuit tin or sharing with friends over a cuppa.
