2. Brush the sides of 2 ramekins with softened butter. Set aside until needed
3. In a large bowl, stir together the chocolate spread and the egg yolks until well combined
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff
5. Add roughly 1/3 whisked egg whites to the chocolate/ egg yolk mixture and fold until loosened

7. Transfer to ramekin dishes and place on a baking sheet in you preheated oven
8. Bake for 17 minutes, until risen. The soufflés will still jiggle in the middle when moved
