Pimp That Snack

Bitchin’ Boost

Ingredients:

24 Bars of Cadburys Boost
345g Asda soft toffees
200g Cadbury dairy milk

A heap of Boost bars piled in front of a large Dairy Milk block and bags of toffees

Method:

I started off by spending a fortune on what seemed like 500 bars (actually 24) of actual genuine scrummy Boosts!! Oh and toffee, and extra choco-yummy-late!

After a tedious amount of time unwrapping the bars and individual toffees I then thought, Oh God where do I start!

As I have no idea how the fondant stuff inside the bars is made, I thought it would be best to use the actual ones. So then to get it out….

Dozens of unwrapped chocolate bars piled in a big blue mixing bowl, ready to melt down

Sporting a sexy snail plaster whilst cutting the toffee away (and part of my thumb) I dissected the innards with great care. (Every one of the insides broke until I got to the 23rd, and because I was on a mission to take it out in one full piece, I took extra care and finally managed it!! Yipee!)

Got some greaseproof paper off my mum and moulded the insides all together into one giant gooey mess! (Microwave was fab at this point because the potato masher just didn’t cut it!!)

After it cooled a lot, then came the toffee!! Well sticky!

Took a while but managed to get it to the right size (by making into sausage shape and flattening out) and then moulded it around the goo! …. Cooled again!

The chocolate mixture pressed out into a long rough log on the kitchen worktop

The log wrapped in a smooth skin of toffee, sitting on baking paper in a tray

MMMM then came the chocolate! Melted it, shaped it around and TADA!! A lovely big fat Bitchin Boost!!
