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.
- The list names 1 packet of digestive biscuits, nearly a whole packet of butter, a 500 g packet of chocolate, golden syrup, sugar and condensed milk, but the packet and can sizes are not given. The method itself uses 25 g of butter for the biscuit base and 100 g of butter, 100 g of sugar, 2 tablespoons of golden syrup and a whole large can of condensed milk for the caramel, which was boiled and then stirred for 5 minutes until thicker and darker. The caramel set on the base in the fridge for an hour inside foil walls before the melted chocolate went on. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5

Take the biscuits and crush them in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. Then heat about 25g of butter in a pan and once it is melted add the biscuits remembering to take off the heat. If it is not all stucked together just add a couple of table spoon of golden syrup. Yep..You’re doing well. Now smush them onto a baking tray with a spoon and put into the fridge of freezer if you want it done super fast!

The original account
To make a giant Twix you will need:
1 packet of digestive biscuits
Nearly a whole packet of butter
1 500g packet of chocolate
Golden syrup
Sugar
AND not forgetting condensed milk
Okies. Here is what you do
Take the biscuits and crush them in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. Then heat about 25g of butter in a pan and once it is melted add the biscuits remembering to take off the heat. If it is not all stucked together just add a couple of table spoon of golden syrup. Yep..You’re doing well. Now smush them onto a baking tray with a spoon and put into the fridge of freezer if you want it done super fast!
Okies Now you have to make the gloopy/caramel bit in the middle. Melt 100g of butter, 100g of sugar two table spoons of golden syrup and a whole large can of condense milk in to a pan. Bring it to the boil stirring occasionally. Then once is boiled stir constantly for 5 mins until it a thicker and darker in colour. Be careful not to burn it now as this taste absolutely disgusting!
Right now you have to pour the caramel stuff onto the biscuit bit making sure the biscuit is hard before starting. You need to make foil sides to stop the caramel going over the side…see picture below! Then replace into fridge for an hour.
Last bit. CHOCOLATE Pour a small amount of boiling water into a pan and put a glass bowl over it. Then brake the chocolate bar up in to small piece and but in to the bowl. Once the chocolate is melted pour over the Twix and voila there you have a GIANT TWIX wooooo!
