What the original account establishes
These notes distinguish the recorded result from quantities or settings the contributor did not specify. Follow each source link to the original passage.
- The list is 2 bags of werthers chewy, 6 caramacs, 3 tubes of coloured icing and a steady hand. The Werthers were melted in a microwave-proof container, and a Curly Wurly-shaped rectangle at twice the width and twice the length of the original was marked on baking parchment; a toffee outline was poured round the edge, a zigzag poured up the middle, and the sheet chilled. The Caramac was melted for its authentic Burberry colour, which the account calls the hardest substance known and which melted the rubber off the base of the bowl onto the microwave plate without harming the contents; it was poured over the toffee zigzag and chilled again. The tubes of icing drew the Burberry checks. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5 · Source 6 · Source 7

The original account
Now, any good snack pimper will know there has been a lot of chat on the site about doing a Curly Wurly. There has also been some debate about whether we should just be supersizing our snacks. So far we’ve seen some of each. I say lets do both. In the true nature of pimping, I give you snack meets bling meets CHAV…!
For the Burberry Curly Wurly you will need:
2 bags of werthers chewy
6 caramacs
3 tubes of coloured icing
A steady hand
Step One:
Chuck the werthers in a microwave proof container. Get meltin’
Step Two:
Mark out a Curly Wurly shaped rectangle on some baking parchment. For sticklers for detail, this baby is twice the width and twice the length. Pour a melted toffee outline around the edges of the rectangle.
Step Three:
Pour a zig zag right up the middle. Fridge it.
Step 4:
Melt down the Caramac. Thats right, Caramac. (Well, plain old chocolate just doesn’t give you that authentic burberry colour) This is not as easy as it sounds as Caramac is actually the hardest substance known to man. It will resist. You must persist. I did. I also mellted the rubber off the bottom of the bowl onto the microwave plate. Yum! Fortunately the contents were unscathed.
Pour the defeated Caramac over the toffee zig zag. Fridge it again!
Step 5:
Get on your sovereign rings, velour leisure suit and goldie lookin’ chain and get chavin’. Or use your tubes of icing to make the all important burberry checks. Stand back in amazement as you realise you have created something beautiful.
