Such a fast and simple recipe that we enjoyed with dinner. I was so pleased that this is one recipe that did NOT come out of the microwave and turn hard as a rock if you didn't eat it right away, it kept it's soft, chocolaty texture. The only problem I had is didn't know what it meant by "mixed spice" so I just added some cinnamon and 1 tsp of espresso powder to compliment the chocolate flavor. Then topped with whip cream and drizzled chocolate sauce over it. A splurge - but very nice when you need something fast for desert
