Melt the butter and chocolate together, and then add the breadcrumbs and the milk.

Separate the eggs and cook up the yolks with the sugar, then combine this with your chocolate mix.
Whisk your egg whites and then fold them into your chocolate batter.
Line a pudding bowl with butter, and pour in your mixture.
