  1. I know what you mean about the pan! Next time I'm going with an oblong/rectangle pan. I used the correct size but it was bowl shaped. It didn't set up properly, imh. But it WAS pudding-ish. I was expecting firmer results. The caramel sauce sunk & mixed in vs. being a layer on top. Is that the way it's supposed to be? It was delicious, tho. Let's see what happens in a different pan... Made for Aussie Swap 4/12.
