Alyson & Cherry’s Famous Chocolate
Crunch by Gareth Hobbs
Everybody has a food or drink that, when you taste
it, transports you instantly to your childhood. For me
it’s chocolate crunch.There was nothing like coming
home from school, walking through the front door
to have the instantly recognisable sweet smell of
chocolate crunch. This crunchy chocolate cake is by
no means healthy, and not something I’d recommend
in your daily balanced diet, but wow does it taste
amazing. My Mother and her best friend, Cherry,
used to make this for us as kids when we were well
behaved enough to deserve a treat. The next thing
I’m going to do after writing this is knock up a batch
of this amazing cake, and transport myself back to
1988 and good memories.
