Jean, try it with Valrhona the next time. I know it is pricier and snootier sounding, but it is NOTICEABLY better. Also, the best unsalted butter you can get your hands on. Because guests eat so little, it should be okay to splurge a little on the chocolate…glad you liked it!

Hi MM, I made this dessert yesterday out of curiosity, using Hershey semi-sweet baking chocolate. You’re right, this is deadly (what with 2 cups of butter !!!) but it tastes heavenly. Am sure chocoaddicts will love this dessert. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I think in the future, for parties, I’m going to make/serve them in indiviual mini glass containers. Thanks again.

Hi Marketman! I tried this last weekend and it was a hit with our guests. We weren’t able to source any broas in Tokyo though =( But my mother in law sent us pastry called ugoy-ugoy from Silay that worked just as well. Thanks for the reminder about the butter, i placed it near the heater while I was working; i remember, the last time I made sansrival in winter was a complete disaster! Haha!

Hi MM,

Long time no comment for me :) Happy new year, MM. The vanilla speak reminded me of my mad dash for this ingredient shortly before Christmas>> grocery shelves were all bare of vanilla, real or otherwise. Even the brands I won’t normally go for! Everyone was cooking up a storm.

I hope they’ve re stocked by now :)

Imagine if you tinker with it by adding orange liquer/grand marnier/baileys…
