  Okay, way too sweet for me and there was a lot of very runny sauce, I have another recipe which is far better and probably won't make this one again.

  AMAZING!! I was a bit skeptical about this as its quite a strange method which I haven't come across before but it turned out perfect! Unlike the previous reviewer my sauce turned out quite thick, maybe a touch too thick, but still lovely. Its just like the posh chocolate puddings you buy in the supermarkets but miles cheaper and very easy to make. You just have to remember to prepare it at lunchtime/early afternoon so you can cook it at night. Def make again.

  This recipe is really nice and worked well for me. I didnt really understand the reason why it needed to go in the fridge for 4-5hrs as I have made chocolate self saucing puddings before and this has not been necessary. Although, Im on the hunt for a recipe to add actual chocolate to give a richer taste. But over all the recipe is great and really simple!

  Has anyone tried halving this recipe? A recipe for 8 is far too big for my family, but I'd really like to try it any! If anyone has could you please tell me how it affected th cooking time? Thanks!

  Really easy to make and delicious. I prefer puddings to be a bit more rich, so I might add some chocolate chunks next time.

  I didn't have time to leave the pudding to chill and it still turned out fine. If I made it again I would use light muscovado sugar in the topping instead of dark as is tasted a bit too treacly but overall it was quite good but not spectacular!
