Sticky Date & Chocolate Chip Pudding
This is a moist, delicious pudding with the rich addition of chocolate chips. Sticky date pudding was a favourite in our house growing up and me being me, just couldn't help to tweak it here and there. I have tried it out with both white and dark chocolate but we prefer dark over white. Both are very nice however and it comes down to your preference of chocolate. Its a winner because its so easy to make and who can turn their nose up at enjoying a mix of caramel and chocolate?
