same here... will think about getting some.

I'm just eating the last piece now, considering I only baked it yesterday arvo it's been pretty popular!

All the choc would melt when you poured the boiling water over. Unless you added them later?

i made this today adn had my doubts that it would work, no sugar, no egg and only a tbsp of butter...oooh. But just had it for pud and it was really quite nice to be honest. I thought you had missed out a key ingredient Emma with preggie brain

I've got currents that may work but no golden syrup. Do you think brown sugar or honey would work?

Honey might work, it just wouldn't be as sweet?

Honey is fine if it's cooked in things as far as I know.

How did the choc chips go? Did they not melt with the boiling water?
I made it again tonight, it's a great recipe coz I threw it together while the sausages were in the oven then just chucked it in after and it cooked while we ate dinner. I used mixed fruit this time instead of sultanas tho.
