Three Chilli Mole Fondue

Things are about to heat up with this gorgeous chocolate fondue.

Plain and milk chocolate combine into a rich flavour combination, with sweet and salty peanut butter running through. This chocolate chilli fondue will steal the show at any party.

Vanilla Cheesecake with Chilli Chocolate Shards

What could be more wonderfully malty, scrumptiously rich and dreamily creamy than a classic vanilla cheesecake? But wait - there's more! Elevate your cake from regular pud to oh-so-good with shards of dark, milk and white chocolate peppered with surprising pops of hot chilli. The perfect balance of sweet and spicy makes this a dangerously moreish combination - just don't say we didn't warn you!

Chilli Chocolate Truffles
