Chocolate Self-saucing puddings

Here are two recipes for Chocolate self-saucing puddings. 

One is a microwave recipe which is great if you don't have a lot of time, but beware, it is very messy.  Make sure you put a plate under the pudding dishes to catch the overflow.

The other recipe is a normal oven recipe.

Both make delicious puddings.  Enjoy!
