I work near a M&S so more often that not when I can't decide what to have for lunch or generally feeling a bit peckish I will wander in and see what catches my eye. Years ago I remember having these fab desserts at my friends house and it was the most gorgeously chocolate dessert I had ever tasted! When browsing the aisles in M&S recently I spotted a pack of 2 melt in the middle chocolate puddings and decided to treat myself....yumm what a treat indeed!

- The Dessert -

These are essentially round chocolate sponge cakes smothered in a rich, milk belgian chocolate sauce, and once you cut through with your spoon you are greeted with a gorgeous, spillage of delightful warm chocolate sauce. Mmmm! To cook them is really easy, I am lazy so they come in small black plastic pots with a film cover. Simply remove the film cover, place the pudding face down on a plate/bowl and place in the microwave for about 60 seconds. Voila! Remove from the microwave, lift off the plastic casing and the pudding will stay upright on the plate/bowl and it's ready to serve.

- My Opinion -

Without even a slight exaggeration or hyperbolic effect these cakes look and taste absolutely amazing! You can smell the rich, chocolate aroma emanate from the cake as soon as you take it out the microwave and you know you are in for a treat. I like to leave mine for a minute or so to cool down, as I have been too eager to eat this on many an occasion and burnt my tongue in my greedy anticipation...ouch! The cake itself is rich and moist, and melts in your mouth heavenly. The sauce is really chocolate and thick and for chocolate lovers out there you will find yourself wanting to lick your bowl clean! It looks exactly like in the picture above and tastes so good you will find yourself giving evils to anyone asking to taste a bite (my other half has been on the receiving end of this look on more than one occasion haha!

- Overall -

In all honesty, I am no big time chocoholic, I can eat the odd bar now and again, but these puddings are just something else and I love them. A pack of 2 costs £1.89 or M&S usually do deals where it is 2 packs for £3 but sometimes having 4 makes me feel a bit sickly as it can be a chocolate overload. These are lovely as a decadent treat and eating one a week is a nice reward for all the hard work I do (lol!). I would definitely recommend these, and I am now thinking to go reach for one after writing this review!
