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.
- Team B’s H7, one of two snacks made in an evening: 4 bags of mini marshmallows and 15 or so blocks of jelly. The jelly was made as usual but with as little water as possible for a better consistency, in a heart-shaped cake tin, and left to set somewhat in the fridge. The marshmallows were melted the same way as for the other team’s W7, then poured and spread over the jelly in the tin, and the heart came out of the fridge a couple of hours later. It proved remarkably hard to cut: a standard knife bounced off, and even a sharp knife needed considerable pressure to break into the jelly.

Notes from the contributor
Selected passages from the original account. Quantities may describe shopping, tests or the final build; follow the linked passage for its full context.
Team B consisted of four people who successfully avoided any useful camera photos of themselves. They were designated Asda as their shopping market of choice however had to abort and steal our designation of Tesco’s due to lack of availability of ingredients. They did however manage to locate the white marshmallows which our team failed to source.

The jelly was made the way any normal jelly was, except using as little water as possible to get better consistency and a heart shaped cake tin which was then left to set somewhat in the fridge.

H7 Ingredients:
4 bags of mini marshmallows
15 or so blocks of jelly
The jelly was made the way any normal jelly was, except using as little water as possible to get better consistency and a heart shaped cake tin which was then left to set somewhat in the fridge.
The marshmallows were then melted in exactly the same way as for the W7. Well, these were done first so the W7 ones were melted in the same way as this.
Once melted, the lovely goo was poured and spread into the cake tin on top of the jelly. Again it appears our photographer has taken an unauthorised break as we only have photos of the final product when it came out of the fridge a couple of hours later.
It is worth noting here that the H7 was remarkably hard to cut into. A standard knife basically bounced off and considerable pressure was required to break into the jelly even using a sharp knife. I don’t think we need much comment on the sleep deprivation that the sugar rush from the H7 caused.
So there you have it. An evening passed, two snacks pimped and many more ideas await the future.
