Gu chocolate mousses are the nicely packaged ones in glass ramikins with enticing pictures reminding you of Marks & Spencer's adverts on the front. Needless to say, they need to cover costs for such expensive packaging, and Gu chocolate mousses do not come in cheap at £2.99 for 2 puddings weighing in at 60g each.
