Very rich, just as it should be! My hubby loved it. Easy to do and comes out perfect. (I blended the dates and tea after the soaking) - 27 Dec 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
My husband is a huge fan of sticky toffee pudding and he absolutely LOVED this! found it difficult to chop the dates as finely as I would have wanted, so after the soaking, I whizzed the dates - 08 Dec 2011 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
