A block of dark chocolate
Sweetened condensed milk in can

do you have recipe?

[MrsBexie]

I'd make choc puff pastry crossaints (sp?)

Get a sheet of puff pastry, cut it diagonally so you have 2 triangles (or again for 4 triangles) melt the choc, then spread it all over the triangles.
Roll the pastry up from the tip of the triangle until you have a long roll then just bend it round to be a crossaint shape and bake! I put a little bit of melted butter on it just to brown it up...

If that makes any sense, they are really yummy! I do it with nutella too...

oooooh nice, how do I thaw out the puff pastry well enough to roll?

[MrsBexie]

just leave it on the bench or I put mine in the microwave for like 15-20secs...

Put the oven at about 190 degrees... (fan forced)

Ooh, probably a bit late now, but here's one for future reference:

8 slices of white bread
butter (optional)
strawberry jam

Butter and/or spread strawberry jam (you can use raspberry or whatever you fancy!) on one side of each slice of bread. Cut them into triangles (crusts are also optional, I leave mine on because I'm lazy lol) and layer them in a deep dish.

In a saucepan, place:
150g dark chocolate
1.25 cups milk
200ml cream
and stir over low-medium heat until chocolate is melted.

In a separate container, stir together 1/4 cup caster sugar, 2tbs cocoa and 3 eggs, then stir that into the chocolate and cream mixture.

Pour the custard mixture over the bread triangles, smoosh it down a bit and bake uncovered in a 180C oven for about 35 mins

It's soooo yum, a lot of choc bread and butter pud recipes are really bland so I like the addition of the strawberry jam I've just eaten a big bowl of it while watching a movie and it's delicious - sorry I didn't get back to you quick enough but give it a try another night!

Method

1. Combine crushed biscuits and melted butter.
