4. Here I hit a problem; I was unsure where the actual ‘light crispy rice’ came into the equation. We decided to mix the rice pops into the melted chocolate and then just smear it over the bar. It was only later we found the old avert on the internet, which clearly shows a cross section, and the rice is actually in a layer just below the surface chocolate. I was a bit gutted by this, as now I appeared to have made what is in essence a Toffee Crisp.
5. Feeling like a bit of a failure, I went for gusto with the Scooby snacks. The little jelly sweets I picked up came in two varieties, with 5 of each, which cheered me up no end because I am an obsessive compulsive freak, and they made a perfect alternating pattern on top.
6. Now, a cross section. That toffee was actually very very chewy, and the chocolate was about an inch thick at the base. It took a massive bread knife to chop that mutha open.
7. I tried to make a wrapper with cool creepy writing on it, and the legend ‘five frights to a bar’ (based on the advertising tagline for the 54321), but whilst I’m pretty good at making pictures and stuff, I am clueless as to how t print them out to the right size. After I used a whole ink cartridge trying, I gave it up as a bad job. This is the graphic I was going to use, which I reckon would have looked ace if I had any sort of sense.
8. So, we’ve got a huge hallowe’en themed chocolate bar. So how best to spread the word of Pimp That Snack whilst children come to the door wearing a cheap Scary Movie ‘doped-up’ face mask begging for treats? Give ‘em a lump of retro goodness, wrapped in tin foil with the following label!
9. You may be wondering why there aren’t any photos of cute kids in costume smiling with their 54321. The truth of the matter is, the couple of photos I got were too dark to see anything on, because I am a fool and was so excited about the effect of our glowing pumpkin lantern, I forgot to turn our porch light on.
