Some people will pay it....others will buy loads more when they are later 'on sale' for a lower price (because it's a bargain innit?).
As with all things with supermarkets - they do what will earn them the most profit.Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0 -
Because they're yummy? (when on offer...)0

The glass ramekins are not cheap compared to other packaging options.
Not checked but they are likely to be using high quality ingredients.
They are likely to have a decent margin. If they went cheaper they may sell more, but they will erode the margin.
Not sure if GU are independent or owned by another dessert manufacturer.0 -
If you've a Nisa near you they're about £1.80 for 2 at the moment.Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0

yes please! 'easy' is my 2nd favourite word (after FREE!!)
we had the Gu puds on a BA flight and thought they were yummy, until I looked at the price. I might nip over to our local Nisa to see what they have in, but still pretty pricey.0 -

250 grams dark chocolate
75 grams muscovado sugar
75 grams butter (melted)
40 grams plain flour
5 eggs
Melt the chocolate in microwave or bowl over low simmering water.
Combine all other ingredients.
Pour in the melted chocolate, and mix until just combined.
Grease and sugar 6 ramekin moulds of approx 150ml capacity.
Half fill the moulds, the mixture is fairly runny.
Cook at 180 degrees for 10-12 minutes, then serve with ice cream. They should be just set on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside.Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman0
