Millie's chocolate and banana pots

You made these all by yourself - you did all the chopping, and the wrapping of everything in foil.

Makes enough for three. You'll need:

3 glass ramekins
a couple of bananas
whatever leftover chocolate you can find (ours was the remnants of the Easter hoard)
a handful of cranberries/raisins
a splash of rum or orange juice

Stick the oven on at about 180 degrees C.

Peel the bananas, and chop into small(ish) rings. Place on the bottom of the ramekin dishes. Smash up all the chocolate you can find, and divvy up evenly between the pots. Sprinkle over whatever dried fruit you fancy (cranberries or raisins are good).

If the pot is for a grownup, they'll appreciate a splash of rum in the bottom. Children can stick to a slurp of orange juice.

Cover the pots with foil, sling them on an oven tray (makes it much easier to get them in and out of the oven), and put them in the oven while you eat the first part of your tea - they need about 15-20 minutes.

Take the foil off carefully, and then serve with a dollop of creme fraiche, or ice cream.
