I don't need an excuse to eat pudding but this one actually looks healthy!
I'll add those ingredients to my next shop and will let you know if they taste as delicious as they look.
Thank you. Yes, thank you in advance for the feedback. I have to say Sticky Toffee Pudding is my all time favourite.
It's even better it's a sugar free alternative, which means fewer calories. A little bit of what you fancy does you mentally good in moderation.
It's a feel-good factor in stressful times, particularly in Covid-19 stressful times.
