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.
- Ingredients: 300g butter, 300g plain flour, 150g sugar, 2 x 400g jars of chocolate spread, a tsp of cinnamon and lots of spare time. The sugar and butter were creamed before the rest went in, and the biscuit was shaped on a baking tray to look like a Viennese and cooked slowly for an hour; no temperature is given. Far too much grease was used, and the biscuit turned into a pool of grease in the oven; the makers warn never to use that much. The recovered pieces were filled with 2 jars of chocolate spread, which held the biscuit together but made it hard to manoeuvre. By the makers’ figures the original weighs 6.2g with 85 calories and the pimp 1kg with 7576 calories. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5 · Source 6 · Source 7

We are women, so we can cook (though i’m not so sure anymore) and we did it properly – creaming the sugar and butter then adding the rest – GET US! We then put the beast on a “baking tray” to cook slowly for an hour.

The original account
We are vet students who have far too much time on our hands – so we decided to pimp an apple pie, however this seemed too hard so we actually did a biscuit, not any biscuit a FOX’s CHOCOLATE VIENNESE!!!!!
Ingredients:
300g butter
300g plain flour
150g sugar
2 x 400g jars of chocolate spread
tsp cinnamon
lots of spare time.
This pimp is minimal on ingredients, but in retrospect following a proper recipe would be good – as you will see later, butter is bad!

We tried to make it look as much like an actual Viennese, check out the artistic skills. Note – DO NOT USE THIS MUCH GREASE – EVER!!! It is a health hazard.
We told you so!!! Butter is bad! Fear not – the pimp continued, regardless of the fact our Viennese turned into a pool of grease when ovened.
However, we recovered the operation, and you can see the resemblance – if you squint and have drunk a bottle of vodka.
Now, fill with 2 jars of chocolate spread – this will help keep the biscuit together, but proves difficult to manoeuvre when building the biscuit. NOTE – do not eat too much of the spread as you go along – health hazard no 2.
A success?!
A resemblance? In closing, this pimp should not be eaten by 1 person in 1 attempt, distribute among the friends you don’t really like that much, or alternatively dare a drunk person to eat it all and watch them throw up.
VITAL STATISTICS.
