    sorry if this is a daft question but I am so not a cook and especially not with chilli. Can I use chilli sauce instead of chilli flakes? Please don't all fall about laughing at once:D

    I used Dairy Milk this morning, didn't need to use butter in my case it was more than smooth enough. Good Luck
