I reckon I'd make some little choc fondant puddings, which have some macerated prunes at the bottom. They go all gooey, and to get the choc right you need the prices of choc and the divine Valharoa cocoa powder. I've not found a better cocoa powder than Valharoa - seriously!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog ....
