What the original account establishes
These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- Ingredients: 30 x Sainsbury’s Luxury Belgian milk chocolate, 3 x ScotBlok chocolate-flavour cake covering and 6 x Loacker Quadratini chocolate wafers, with a wallpaper dipping trough as the mould and the KitKat logo cut from a sticky-backed vinyl floor tile and stuck to the bottom in reverse. Day 1: about a third of the chocolate was melted and poured in. Day 2: after setting overnight, the wafers were laid in five layers along the chocolate, and the rest of the chocolate was melted and poured around and over them; it was too big to lie flat in the fridge. Day 3: still not hard in the morning, it went into the fridge on a slant and was hard enough at around 6pm. The finished bar measured 59cm x 17cm x 12cm, came to 45,888 calories by the makers’ count and cost £36.42; a video follows on the next page.

Day 1.
We cut out the KitKat logo from the floor tile and stuck it to the bottom of the trough ( in reverse ). Melted about 1 third of the chocolate and poured it into the mould.
The kids have never seen so much melted chocolate before!
Day 2
The chocolate set over night. Next stage was to arrange the wafers in five layers along the chocolate.
Then melted the rest of the chocolate and poured it carefully around the wafers, then over the top.
The house was starting to smell like Cadbury World. MMMMMMMMM! Could not fit it in fridge flat, cos it was far too big.
Day 3
Woke up early to check the BigKat. Still not Hard enough!
Had to put it in fridge, but on a slant. Finally at around 6pm our creation was hard enough to be born!
It turned out surprisingly easy.
ANYONE FOR A SLICE OF BIGKAT.
HAVE A BREAK, HAVE A (SLICE OF) BIGKAT.
