Ingredients<\/h3>\n

50 grams of Green and Blacks cocoa<\/p>\n

150 grams Organic Self Raising Flour<\/p>\n

150 grams Organic brown sugar<\/p>\n

1 pinch of salt<\/p>\n

I tin of prunes (pitted)<\/p>\n

A drop of vanilla essence<\/p>\n

Method\/Procedure<\/h3>\n

Drain the prunes, and then Mix all the ingredients (should be fairly moist- so gradually add the prune juice but it should not be sloppy! Sorry this is not too precise I’m a bit of an intuitive cook!)<\/p>\n

Pour in to 2 greased sandwich tins, cook on gas Mark 5 for about 20 mins or until firm.<\/p>\n

I usually make a topping using a bar of melted Green and Blacks chocolate (whatever flavour is your favourite!) mixed with some icing sugar to thicken.<\/p>\n
