I've been using this biscuit prototype for years now. While doing the crossword with Matt Jones earlier today he encouraged me to socialise the idea on the web.
You take a biscuit with a chocolate coating. Using your mouth make two slight indentations on either side at slightly less than opposite angles. Matt is pointing out these indentations with his pen in both pictures above.
You then have the perfect grip for dunking your biscuit without getting melted chocolate on your fingers.
No need to thank me.
Of course the old Australian Tim Tam trick is to bite off both ends and use the biscuit as a straw. As the hot beverage melts the biscuit you quickly throw it in your mouth.
This technique won't keep your hands completely chocolate free but it is delicious.

Great thinking. Up until now I have just worn really big gloves.

But milk chocolate is a rookie mistake.
