Great tasting and very souffle like, as previously reviewed. Prepared as listed and used a 53% cocoa dark chocolate for the cake and a Hersey nugget dark chocolate w/ a almond inside for the molten center.

Wonderfully rich and almost like a souffle without having to separate the eggs! I used dark cooking chocolate for the cake/pudding mix and organic fair trade dark chocolate infused with orange oil for the molten centres. Yum - will certainly make this one again. Made for ZWT3.
