Then my friend, realising that our supposed M&M was completely deformed decided to take to it with a hedge trimmer to cut the damn thing into the correct shape. As to whether this worked or not is debatable
Now it was time to make the coloured shell of the mega M&M. after much thinking and deliberation the internet gave up the answer. a simple recipe of just flour, sugar and glucose syrup. So it was off to ASDA for about the 5th time on this pimping adventure in search of copious amounts of sugar.
No luck. ASDA don't stock glucose syrup, not surprising really though because there is a very real health risk of eating just that much glucose. It was a chemist that gave us the answer in the form of glucose powder - . Just add water and away you go. You would think it was simple, but no. I added way to much water and it was way too runny, so we preceded to add mammoth amounts of flour to the mixture to thicken it up a bit and to keep the taste the same amount of sugar was put in. Once it was at the right viscosity we preceded to pour it over the top.
The plan was to do a layer, let it dry and harden then do another, building up a nice thick shell. A week later and TWO layers later and we decide that it'll do.
Now for the finishing touch, the magical M. We just had to stencil the M thanks to an image found by our good friend Google image search,We cut round some icing and stuck it over the top. We added the silver balls for good extra pimping measure. To pimp this daddy to the max. Ridiculous? Yes. Expensive? Yes. Tasting Awesome? Probably not. Nevermind, we had a good time.
