Chop 200g of the plain chocolate into rough, chunks.

Chop the milk chocolate in the same way, and place in a separate bowl.

Break the remaining plain chocolate into a large heatproof mixing bowl.

Melt in the microwave.

Tip in the sugar, butter, peanut butter, egg and vanilla and beat with a wooden spoon until well mixed.

Stir in the flour, all the milk chocolate chunks, the nuts (no need to chop) and half the plain chocolate chunks.

Drop 12 large spoonful’s on the baking trays, leaving room for them to spread (you may need to bake in batches).
