Cadbury Hot Chocolate Caramel Sponge Pudding

I had one of these this week at a friend's house; she always has something sweet and cake like in to have with a cuppa and I can NEVER resist. She told me that they are currently on special offer at Tesco for £1 (2 puddings) which is half price. I nicked the cardboard sleeve from her with the nutritional information on and unfortunately it only gives amounts per 100g - 320 calories and 15.1g of fat. Each pot is 129g so that is erm... work it out for yourself. Lol. Sorry. Lazy brain!! Anyway, far too many calories for a pudding of this size.

The puddings are packaged in a black plastic pot with a film cover, inside a cardboard sleeve so mostly recyclable packaging.

To make them hot simply pop the black pot in the microwave for said amount of time, ours were around 1 minute and ... ping!!! Uptunr the black pot on to suitable serving bowl and the sponge will easily pop out and covers itself in the hot sticky caramel sauce. It smells delicious. Absolutely delicious.

Mine was served, with great care and attention, accompanied with vanilla ice cream, the steaming hot and ice cold combination was perfect.

The caramel sauce is amazing, very very sweet but not too sweet for my sweet tooth in need of sweet stuff! It is thick but drizzle-able. The sponge is quite dense and very chocolately and is fabulous steamed.

Overall I loved this dessert and they are available at a great price at the moment. All that is missing is a blob of melted chocolate in the middle.

Summary: for a treat only from now on... this diet will never work otherwise!!
