Like the best romantic entanglements a good chocolate fondant is hot and intense with a meltingly soft centre. How do you ensure success?
There's a reason why Valentine's Day menus always end with chocolate. You might know that the route to your beloved's heart is paved with pork belly or smelly cheese, but I'm willing to bet that even plasticine lothario Wallace doesn't romp around the bedroom smeared in Stinking Bishop. Cliche or not, chocolate still ticks all the right boxes where most of us are concerned and, like a bad rom-com after a few glasses of wine, it's peculiarly seductive.
