These taste rather like posh Florentines. The mix of milk and dark Divine chocolate makes for an extra special tea-time treat. Created by young chef Sam Stern. “This could be the richest, easiest chocolate cake ever. You don’t need to cook it. And it tastes a bit like posh Florentines. You can customise it to suit your tastes: vary the type or amount of fruit, nuts, or biscuits. And the mix of milk and dark Divine Chocolate makes for just the right base”.
