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 makers give the weight as 10 kg, or 22,04 lbs, the length as 40 cm, or 15,75 inch, the cost as €60, or £47,14, and the calories as 59500 kcal. They started with 25 chocolate bars and 19 bags of unsalted peanuts, melting some chocolate, then more, and adding peanuts around 50/50 with the chocolate; the mountain was built up, with more chocolate and more peanuts, until it could not grow higher without support, so towels were used, and it went into the fridge to set solid. The next day the aluminium foil was removed, more chocolate melted and peanuts added to reach the 10kg goal, and the mountain modelled into its final state.

Production of a chocolate peanut rock … or in this case Mountain!

We also wanted to pimp a snack and we noticed nobody has ever tried to pimp a chocolate peanut rock. So our mission was to pimp a chocolate peanut rock into a chocolate peanut mountain!

We started our pimp with 25 chocolate bars and 19 bags of unsalted peanuts:

Rows of supermarket milk chocolate bars laid out beside a dozen bags of salted peanuts

Step 1: Melting some chocolate…

Step 2: Melting some more chocolate!

Chocolate bars melting in a large pan over a bain-marie, stirred with a wooden spoon

Step 3: Adding the peanuts around 50/50 with the chocolate.

Peanuts stirred into the melted chocolate in a saucepan, discarded foil wrappers piled behind

Step 4: Birth of the Mountain!

Step 5: Melting MORE chocolate.

Step 6: MORE PEANUTS! You can’t have enough peanuts 😉

Step 7: Check the quality of the substance.

Step 8: Rise of the Mountain.

The peanut and chocolate mixture tipped out of the bowl onto a foil-covered table

Step 9: At this point the Mountain couldn’t grow higher without any support.. in this case we used towels.

Step 10: We put the mountain in the fridge to make it solid as a rock 😉

The mixture spread in a foil sling propped on towels, setting inside the fridge

Step 11: The next day we removed all the aluminium foil.

Step 12: Melting moooore chocolate and adding peanuts to reach our goal of 10kg.

Step 13: Modelling the Mountain to its final state.

AND THERE IT IS…. THE ONE AND ONLY CHOCOLATE PEANUT “ROCKY MOUNTAIN!” 😉
