Chocolate Fondants (makes 12-14 small sized)

This decadent chocolate dessert is sure to be a hit with all your friends.

We decided to try out our slight adaptation of Gordon Ramsey’s recipe after watching Jake & Elle make fondants on My Kitchen Rules. Unfortunately I forgot to get a photo of the inside (was too excited to eat it!) but it was very gooey and fondanty! Delicious!
