Pimp That Snack

Ferocious Flake

Well I am very pleased with myself, my first two pimps get onto the leaderboard.
(Please vote generously on Billionaire’s Shortbread & Colossal Cookie) Inspiration
for my third attempt had to come from the ice cream man, ice cream, no too
runny and sticky, waffle cone, no point without the ice cream, chocolate
flake. Bullseye.

Large Cadbury Dairy Milk bars laid out on the worktop around one ordinary Flake

All that is needed for this one is ten 250g bars of chocolate and a custom
made mould.

First step. Line the mould with cling film, I took the ends off to make access
easier.

Melted chocolate spread in long ripples along a sheet of cling film

Next melt some of the chocolate, only about half a bar at a time and pipe
it into the mould in rows. Send it to the fridge to set.

The cling film sheet lowered into a long narrow foil-lined trough, chocolate ribbons running along it

The next row should be zig zag to allow air and to support the weight of
the following layers of creamy goodness. Again back to the fridge.

Thin chocolate drizzled in criss-cross scribbles over the chocolate sheet on cling film

All thats left to do now is repeat, repeat, repeat, alternating between straight
rows and the supporting zig zag ones leaving it to set in the fridge inbetween
each row.

Layers of drizzled chocolate building up inside the lined trough mould

The mould filled to the brim with tangled ridges of setting chocolate

At a glance this pimp appears to be quite simple, however the time and dedication
needed to create this monster is well quite a bit. ( The recovery time after
eating it all in one sitting is longer though)

Long slab of rippled chocolate turned out on cling film beside a wrapped normal Flake

Giant flake built up into a domed bar, an unwrapped normal Flake alongside for scale

Giant Flake snapped in two showing its layered interior, a normal Flake broken in front
