ie if they weren't selling at that price they wouldn't be able to keep charging it
As with all things with supermarkets - they do what will earn them the most profit.
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.
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.
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.
