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 ingredients were 600g of milk chocolate cake covering and 750g of cornflakes. Cornflakes were mixed with water in a bowl, the water left to soak in, and the softened flakes fused in the hand into a single colossus cornflake, repeated until boredom set in, then left overnight to dry out. Some chocolate was melted, the giant cornflakes mixed in and left to one side; a case was made from a paper bowl as the base with concertina paper for the border, and the colossus chocolate cornflake was poured into it.
