Chocolate pots are so simple to make yet when people eat them, they cannot believe that there are only a few ingredients. I also think that home-made ones are so much nicer than the ones you can buy in supermarkets. This version used half milk chocolate and half dark chocolate but you could equally use all dark chocolate. Ingredients (to make 4 pots): - 100g milk chocolate - 100g dark chocolate - 300ml single cream - 2 egg yolks - 25g butter - 50ml gingerbread rum - butterscotch pieces Method: 1. Heat cream in a saucepan until hot (but do not let it boil) 2. Break chocolate into pieces and add to ... Read the complete review

==Baby Cheesecakes== This recipe is inspired by my mum's love for cheesecakes and the ice cream factories at Pizza Hut. These baby cheesecakes would be good for party foods particular in the summer. I think kids would like this recipe as well because they can get their creative caps on and the majority of them overall have a sweet tooth. Just looking at the equipment list you can see it's very hands on and you don't need to use a machine or count any measurements. I've haven't mentioned sugar in the ingredients because I think there already is enough sugar in them. I think it will be easy to clean up after doing this recipe because it's most likely only ...
