Chocolate Self-saucing Puddings
| The winter months are certainly upon us. (That is if you are lucky enough to live in Aus or elsewhere in the southern hemisphere). What a great time for chocolate pudding, or is there any time that isn't. This is a very easy to make, tasty self saucing chocolate pudding made in 5 minutes prep time plus ½ – 1 minute cook time in the microwave. I make this one when I want something quick and easy, or when anyone feels like having a tasty chocolate dessert |

Make this dish even easier using the KitchenAid artisan stand mixer. It really is the ultimate in kitchen stand mixers
- I had a customer this week who asked for a stand mixer demonstration. One of the many things she was most impressed with was how quiet it runs.
- The stand mixer can handle the toughest mixing procedures and, as this lady said, even at full speed you can easily talk over the top of it
- See for yourself. Come in store and let me give you a demonstration
