  Easy to make but far too rich for "cake" or pudding (I can take a lot of sweetness but found this only edible in small fudge-chunk pieces). Cant see why it needs the extra sugar at all, if I made it again (which I cant justify having just spotted the horrific calorie content!) Id definately leave that out.

  I made this and thought it was absolutley lovely. It is VERY rich, but if you like dark chocolate, then this is a winner. My boyfriend loves this. You do only need small slices, but it is great for serving with coffee at a dinner party.

  Very rich, but was a hit! I think next time I would put digestive biscuit in it to give it a bit more crunch. Probably won't do again for a while as so calorific, but a nice treat!
