I developed an obsession for the GU chocolate souffles a while ago and was very annoyed that Asda had run out of them this time I wanted to buy some. Actually they had sold out of most of the GU range so I decided to try these. I paid £1.94 for a box of 3 puds. These chocolate tortes can be eaten cold (chilled straight fromn the fridge) or hot (heated in the microwave for 15-20 seconds). They are suitable for vegetarians but contain eggs, gluten, milk and soya and may contain traces of nuts. Each mini pud is 50g in size and will give you 211kcals, 2.8g of protein, 15.8g of carboydrates of which 13.3g are sugars, 14.5g of fat of which 9.3g are saturates, ...  Read the complete review

Along with the 3 little pots of GU "ganache" that I have previously reviewed I also picked up a box of these chocolate "Tortes" whilst they were on offer in Tesco. What makes these different from the other ones is the fact that you can serve them hot as well as cold. The picture on the front is reminiscent of the "Marks and Spencer melt in the middle chocolate pudding" that was advertised on the television so for that reason these had to find their way home with me. Packaged in the box shown above , the packaging for all the different varieties available seems to be the same apart from these have a pink end, these are described ...  Read the complete review

Gu products in general I find are a good example of what I call the 'Emperor's New Clothes' marketing strategy....in that they're marketed as a top-end product sold at relatively high prices, but what's inside all that fancy matt-black expensive-looking packaging isn't, in eating terms, usually all that good. I still succumb to purchasing this stuff every so often, and I've tried all sorts of variations on the Gu chocolate pudding theme. There're the would-be posh soufflé thingies you buy I think in little glass pots; the godawful, bitter-tasting Gu 'tidgy chocolate puds', and now, these chocolate fondants. I know only one thing about chocolate ...  Read the complete review

I do enjoy a good naughty treat every now and then so imagine my delight to find these Gu puddings on offer in Tesco today - BOGOF at £1.98. I would never buy them at full price but 6 for a few quid seemed like a bargain and if there's anything I like more than chocolately yumminess, it's a bargain. These puddings are packaged in the usual sexy black Gu box. However, there are 3 in each pack. What an odd number? The first thing myhusband said when I took these out of the fridge this evening was "You only get three? I suppose that's so the wife gets two and the husband only gets one!" Well, he said it! They are tiny though so I ...  Read the complete review

In Tesco recently I saw a new product from GU and as it was on special offer at two packs for £3 I decided to treat myself. In each box you get three small chocolate fondant 'cakes' which are supplied in small paper cases. You can eat these Cheeky Little Chocolate Fondants either straight from the fridge or warm them through in the microwave for a few seconds. They are delicious eaten either way, although personally I do prefer them warm as the cake becomes much richer in texture and flavour. The cakes (well, they're not really cakes but this is for want of a better word) are very small, but they have such a chocolatey richness that I'd ...  Read the complete review
