If you've got an electric whisk - either a hand one or a freestanding mixer - this is very low effort indeed, but it is a real showstopper. There's something quite extraordinary about the greedy silence that falls over the table as you put these out.
The glitz is provided by their utter fantabulousness and the scattering of honeycomb over the top. If you don't want to use a Crunchie bar, of course buy some honeycomb or make Hokey Pokey, or else scatter with finely chopped pistachios. You will lose the sugary-glitter look, but you will still have brought to life an elegantly voluptuous creation.

I just love this recipe! It's easy, fast and incredibly delicious! Although Nigella says it serves 8 portions, in my case it served 14! I also changed the glaze, instead of hers I used Nutella and it is Heaven itself, though I've tried her glaze and it's delicious too :) Thank you Nigella!

I made this last night for a family dinner and it was delicious! A few wanted to share with others then ended up asking for their own after a few bites. I used (85% Cocoa) Lindt Chocolate and put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on before drizzling the glaze over. Everyone was more than excited when they reached the Crispy Crunch pieces (a must)!!

These are delicious and so light and fluffy. I made the mixture up the day before, put it in the ramekins, covered them in cling film and popped them in the fridge. I took them out of the fridge about an hour before I wanted to cook them. Everyone's face lit up when I served them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. I also drizzled some of the chocolate sauce on the plate, which looked effective. All made noises of complete satisfaction!! As the mixture makes 8, they are ideal for a dinner party and so easy to do.

It's just irresistible. I put some raspberries on top. The acidity mixed with soft chocolate is the sensation you want to have. Thanks so much for the recipe!!

OMG they are a dream. I made them this afternoon and after a long day this is exactly what I needed. Chocolate heaven! Nigella is a genius.
