After watching a series of Nigella Lawson episodes and her delectable desserts, I was inspired to make my own chocolate recipe. Although she uses caramel bars for this recipe, I chose to use irresistible dark chocolates. To give it an Indian twist, we sprinkled some roasted sesame seeds on these choco delights. These are great for the festive times ahead, and are easy-peasy too!
