sticky toffee pudding
(2 ratings)
this is an English dessert that's called pudding, but it's really ugly cake. Just try this dessert I beg you. The toffee sauce alone is reason enough, and the cake rocks too. I think that dates are one of the most underrated treats out there. They are so good to eat straight as a snack. they're so sticky, sweet and pleasurable. But dates are actually pretty good for you, they contain fiber potassium and folate.Source: Unknown
