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: 400 grams of dark chocolate, a box of cornflakes, a box of oats, a box of sultanas, 400 grams of mixed nuts and fruits, 50 grams of cocoa, 2 cups of honey, 250 grams of melted butter and 100 grams of cream chocolate paste, such as Nutella. The method melts the cream, cocoa and dark chocolate together, although no cream is listed, and smears it across two large baking trays to cool in the fridge. The mixed nuts, fruit and oats are combined, the honey is added slowly while mixing, then the butter until the mixture sticks together. The chocolate is cut to the shape of the bar, the mixture is shaped on top, and the chocolate paste is smeared up the sides. The cornflakes and sultanas in the list are not mentioned in the method, and no setting time is given. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4

Cornflakes, oats, Nutella, cocoa, dried fruit and nuts crowded onto a dark kitchen counter

Step 2
Find as many bowls as you can, because you’re going to need a lot. Combine the mixed nuts, fruit and oats. Add the honey slowly while mixing. Don’t get yourself in a sticky situation! (aren’t i hilarious?). After the honey is mixed in slowly add the butter until all of the mixture sticks together.

Step 3.
Take out your prepared chocolate and cut into the shape of your giant brunch bar. Carefully add the mixture on top, shaping it as you go. Lastly, smear your chocolate paste up the side of the bar and VWALA – you have a giant brunch bar. So unnecessary yet so wonderful 🙂
