Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Butter a 1 litre capacity ovenproof dish.

Sift flour and cocoa together into medium sized bowl. Add superfine sugar and mix through.

Combine the melted butter and milk in a jug. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir through the chopped Mint Aero and pour the pudding batter into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Put the brown sugar and cocoa together into a jug and pour the water from a recently boiled kettle up to the 1 1/4 cup mark.

Pour over the pudding mixture, it may help to pour the liquid over the back of a spoon to prevent the pudding batter from displacing too much.

Place the dish onto an oven tray to prevent spillage and pop into the oven for 40-50 minutes, taking care not to burn it.

Serve on its own or with ice cream or cream.

Additional Information

Note: The original recipe for this uses chocolate covered honeycomb (eg. Violet Crumble or Crunchie bars), I just loved the mint version I made of it so that's why I've used Mint Aero in this recipe. That said, you could go crazy with different versions of this pudding, using an equal amount of white chocolate, chocolate covered caramels like Rolos or something, or maybe chopped Mars or Snickers bars if you want to try for a peanutty version. When it comes to chocolate, my philosophy is pretty much go wild! :) Enjoy.
