I had been having trouble with my self saucing pudding - for some reason it hadn't been working all that well.  This recipe is from my pressure cooker book but at the last minute I realised my dishes wouldn't fit so I bunged them in the oven.  The result was just perfect.  The extra chocolate made them.   You could also use milk chocolate or any of those yummy flavoured chocolate (orange mmmnn) for a Jaffa flavour
