"There are several versions of this recipe. This one has evolved from rainy autumn afternoons in the company of a coup of tea, a film and a friend. It works just fine without the dark chocolate, which also can be substituted with basically any chocolate of your preferrance. However, the cocoa is essential; add as much as you please. Enjoy!"
