Preheat oven to 180C/Gas 4.
Melt 85g chocolate over a pan of simmering water in a mixing bowl or in the microwave.
Add the butter, sugars, vanilla and egg until and beat until smooth
Stir in  three-quarters of both the nuts and remaining chocolate, then the flour  and bicarbonate of soda.
Heap 12 spoonfuls, spaced wide apart, on 2 baking sheets (don't spread the  mixture), then poke in the reserved nuts and chocolate.
Bake for 12 mins, then leave to cool on the sheets. They will be soft when they come out of the oven and you might think they need longer, but they'll crisp up whilst cooling.
Enjoy!
