Vanessa has sent me a very tempting set of recipes that are basically a heavenly chocolate fest! I was struck by the incredibly small list of ingredients required to make this fabulous array of chocolatey delights. I have put 4 bars of dark chocolate on the shopping list plus cream and eggs and I think I am going to go for it.
One problem though, cooking chocolate desserts at half-term with kids around. This did not seem a good idea especially when they had already enjoyed the chocolate shortbread earlier in the week. I knew I wasn't going to get away with it. So, I have ring-fenced the bars of chocolate and decided that I will do this next week when the children are at a safe distance back at school. Then I can concentrate on doing this properly, without little fingers diving in every second, and the chorus of "can I lick the bowl" echoing around the kitchen. They can enjoy the fruits of my labour when they return and all will be calm.......
