180g dark chocolate buttons
650ml milk
250g caster sugar
120ml water
4 large eggs
2 egg yolks
Extra 75g caster sugar

STEP 1 Preheat oven to 160ºC. Put choc buttons in a medium heatproof bowl. Put milk in a small heavy-based pan and bring slowly to the boil. Pour hot milk over chocolate and stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside for 5 minutes.
STEP 2 Put sugar and water in a medium heavy-based pan and stir over a low heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook, without stirring, until mixture is a caramel colour. Pour caramel into a 20cm ceramic ovenproof dish and swirl around the sides to coat.
