Under 80 days to go until Christmas here in Australia.

Never heard of it. Looks good.

Look at the prices...them are high quality too. ROFL

These must be some luxurious chocolates.

For our family, we always have pie for the holidays. Sometimes apple, but always pumpkin.

 

[Josho]

$20 a kilo?? Huh?

Americans are metric illiterate.

Oh 1kg = 2.205 pounds

I was afraid to look at the prices. I’m one of those who buys Godiva half price after Holidays. :)

It's Christmas pudding and sometimes Trifle here.

I did see a show a few years ago, someone was on the search for expensive chocolate, and paid something like $100 for a block of chocolate lol.

I was joshin' with you (American term for joking, hehe). But I really don't have much of a clue when it comes to metrics. When I was young, there was a push to convert the U.S. over to the metric system, but it didn't take.

I make the same quality...we both were trained by the same people at the same school. (CIA)
I just don't charge for mine...
Mine are gifts.
And I only do it for Christmas.

So, what ingredients are in Christmas pudding? Maybe someone can share a recipe.

You were trained by the CIA to make chocolate, lol??

Oh I could pay more...I just don't see a need to. Not when the formula is acceptable and the cocoa butter content is also good.

I don't have much idea, but chocolate is probably an obvious ingredient, maybe some raisins, when we get it, we usually get it from a supermarket.

But mum makes trifle.

Christmas pudding has chocolate in it? I'm surprised.

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. Hey, you are welcome to send me some chocolates if they're as good as Godiva!

Maybe not in all, but it does sometimes taste like it hahaha.

Traditional Christmas pudding

Yum! That looks delicious. After telling me that it has chocolate in it, I can tell that you haven't made it.

Here's another one.

Chocolate Christmas pudding

@Rita @Pearl would know better about Christmas pudding. It did originate in the UK after all.

I think I have had the ones before where they put chocolate in the middle, you warm it up, dig your spoon into it and chocolate comes spilling out.
