- A summer-holiday project with the children after the Jaffa Quake segment on Gordon Ramsay’s F Word, chosen after a lengthy tasting session. For each Jazztastic: 2 x 100g bars of chocolate and 1 tub of hundreds and thousands, about £2.50. A dinner plate was lined with cling film; the chocolate was melted over hot water, a combination of eating chocolate and cooking chocolate being easier to handle; the bowl of the plate was filled with melted chocolate and refrigerated until set, with no time given. The disc was turned out onto a board, spread with a little more melted chocolate and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5 · Source 6 · Source 7

The original account
Having watched Gordon Ramsey’s F Word and the segment on the Jaffa Quake, and it also being the school summer holidays the kids bugged the heck out of me to let them ‘pimp a snack’ for the website. After careful consideration on the merits and disadvantages of their favourite sweets (this necessitated a lengthy tasting session of all their favourites) before we came up “Jazztastic”, our pimped version of that old favourite Jazzies.
Approximate Cost £2.50
You will need for each Jazztastic the following:
X 2 100g bars of chocolate
X 1 tub Hundreds & Thousands
1. Line the inside of a dinner plate with cling film.
2. Melt the chocolate over hot water, using a combination of eating chocolate and cooking chocolate makes it easier to handle.
3. Fill the inside bowl of the dinner plate with melted chocolate and refrigerate until set.
4. Turn out onto a board when set. Spread a little melted chocolate over the top and sprinkle with hundreds & thousands.
Hopefully the kids won’t be throwing up after eating all that chocolate!
