Notes
Note:
You could add chopped nuts into the batter when you add the dark chocolate chunks/chips. Even some dried fruit like cherries or dates work well also.
To make it additionally indulgent bits of candy bars like mars and twix would also work well in this recipe. Ensure not to over bake the pudding, as it may seem to wet when you remove it out however it will set as it cools down. Also, the time may vary based on the heat distribution in your oven hence after 25 mins keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t get over cooked.
