Pimp That Snack

Crunchie 2

After a failed attempt at making a malteaser which involved boiling hot sugar poured onto one of our hands (The plan was to pour liquid honeycomb into a balloon first without a funnel when one of us got burned, then with a paper funnel as there were no plastic ones available, the honeycomb solidified before it reached the end of the funnel.)

There is the story of the pimped straw which involves lots of straws hooked together, we drank coke down a set of stairs with it, lying down and almost drowned but we survived to give you this amazing Crunchie pimp.

Before that we made honeycomb using vinegar like the scientist (and Delia Smith) told us to. That was bad. Just look at the picture below! Were not sure if that is mould or fungus please tell us what to do if we eat some because we might need medical attention.

After that failure the idea came up for a pimped Crunchie. We used a A-one, B-U-Double-Lizzy, dandy, bootylicious, swizzay, topflight, topnotch (as Snoop D-to-tha-O-Double-G might say) Recipe as told by Grandpa Pencil.

Ingredients: Golden Syrup, Sugar, Bicarbonate Of Soda, Water, DEFINITLEY NO VINEGAR!!!!!

First we melted the chocolate using the well known pimping method of putting water in a pan, and chocolate in a bowl on top and heating.

We coated our tin in chocolate, most importantly the sides, as we learned in our time out pimp. We put it in the freezer.

We Then Started on our Non-Vinegar Honeycomb.
We Put 8 Tablespoons of Sugar,
4 Tablespoons of Golden Syrup
4 Teaspoons of Water
Into a pan and heated Gently until the sugar had dissolved, and then brought it to the boil for seven minutes.

Then we poured the honeycomb onto the chocolate but realised it was melting, this turned us into a fit of panic and we quickly put the remaining chocolate over it and put it back into the freezer on the highest setting and hoped for the best.

The next day it had actually worked! It tasted great and non-vinegary! Pimp our cheaper and non-vinegary Crunchie!!
