Start the new year with chocolate...

Well, it's been a while and I am still busy recovering from 'real life' after a wonderful relaxing holiday. When I feel depressed, I find that chocolate normally does the trick for me and makes me feel a little better. This is (or was) actually a Golden Cloud recipe that I had to modify so much because I started mixing before checking if I had all the ingredients. If I can give you good advice, don't start mixing any ingredients before you have made sure that you actually have everything that you need. This is a very rich pudding and not for the faint hearted! Go on, have a second helping...
I'm going to call this one chocolate surprise pudding.
