Reading comments, I reduced the sugar by half. About right, but left the chocolate a bit too strong a flavour. Next time I would add in some raisins to add another texture and possibly a small amount of syrup to moisten the pears a bit.

This just didn't turn out well for me. It was far too buttery and sweet (and I normally have a sweet tooth) and the textures didn't seem to work well. The breadcrumb mix was just not very nice, and I wish I had made a pear crumble instead!

Cut the sugar by at least half. I love sweet stuff but this was way too much.

A quick but yummy dessert. I would make this again.

Loved it, used honey instead of maple syrup. Really rich and filling. Had it on its own but will make some chantilly cream next time
