A tendency/necessity to spend our days at work trawling the internet for hilarious websites led us to PimpThatSnack.com
A combined fondness for candy and not overly ambitious but well executed projects led us to partake of the snack pimping process.
Firstly we needed a snack. We noted that the majority of snacks on the site were of an international nature, yet we decided to go with a kiwi classic: the Squiggle.
Squiggles (sometimes mistakenly referred to as Squiggle Tops) are a delicious combination of biscuit, icing, hokey pokey pieces (honeycomb), and chocolate – blurring the lines between cookie and confectionary.
With our goal set, we started.
The Ingredients:
Cookie dough (flour, sugar, butter, baking soda, baking powder, eggs)
250ml cream
2 Crunchy bars
700g white chocolate buttons
700g milk chocolate buttons
Yellow food colouring
$22NZD =~£8.65
Oven tray size restrictions resulted in the decision to bake two identical, still giant but not super giant, squiggles. Nothing too exciting here.
For the delicious centre we used a white chocolate ganache, with a touch of colouring.
Hokey pokey. We cheated. We hacked up crunchy bars. So what. Calm down.
Chocolate coating. Pretty self explanatory.
The next step was pivotal – the squiggles. White chocolate, piping bags, and our magic weapon – cake decorators’ pigment powder. We were unashamedly sToked with how well this worked out.
The grand results:
Haha. Choice. One each.
