Approx cost: £7.00

During number ones easter holiday, number two came over and decided to help make a Giant Yorkie. Why a giant Yorkie? Well as far as I could see, the last one was pimped back in 2006 and…it’s SO EASY TO MAKE!

To start with, we both went and raided Sainsbury’s of the basic milk chocolate. (Being students and all, we are poor.) We chose Sainsbury’s because number two had a staff discount card so this pimp probably cost about £10 in total.

Any who, lets get pimping.

To start with, the ingredients list:

Chocolate
Chocolate
Oh, and some more chocolate. (12 bars to be exact.)

Ingredients on a worktop: bars of milk chocolate, a normal Yorkie, plastic tub and foil trays

Next comes the fun and very long task of melting it all.

Chunks of broken milk chocolate part-melted into a smooth pool in a metal bowl

And some more melting.

After 30 mins or so, we were ready to pour melted chocolate into the dishes…so we did.

Molten chocolate poured level into three foil takeaway trays lined up on newspaper

Due only owning a small fridge, we decided to leave them to set in my garage and go grab some grub to eat. Yummy.

Foil trays of setting chocolate with black card covers laid over them on the worktop

After returning, we went and grabbed some finally set, GIANT YORKIE BLOCKS! Only problem whilst making this Pimp…we ran out of chocolate, so only made 3 blocks of it. *sad faces* 🙁
