Here’s a great dessert recipe with a cheeky adaptation. You can make your own pastry if you don’t fancy cheating, but it tastes almost as good and is a lot easier!
Get an adult to help you when melting the chocolate as the hot water could easily burn you if you’re not careful. If you’re worried, just use a microwave, but keep an eye on it to make sure that the chocolate doesn’t burn.
