KitKat Chunky: the archived recipe
Condensed from the original account by Tom, Matt and Paul, published 2006-08-14. The quantities and method are the contributor’s; this is not a new kitchen test.
Ingredients recorded
- 10 x 250g Dairy Milk
- 2 x packets of pink wafers (100g packets in the photograph)
- A grease-proof-paper-lined mould of your own making
The chocolate is counted in 250g bars, 2 melted per layer; the wafers are 2 packets, and the Crawford’s packets in the photograph are marked 100g. The finished bar measured 25cm by 14cm by 7cm and weighed 2.5kg.
Method recorded
- Melt 2 packs of the chocolate.
- Pour the chocolate into the lined mould, lay on the first layer of pink wafers and leave to set in the fridge, or the freezer if you are impatient.
- Lick out the bowl or saucepan.
- Repeat the melting, pouring and wafer layers for as many layers as you want, and finish with a layer of chocolate.
- Once the chocolate is hard, turn it out; the account warns that a night in the fridge makes it hard enough to need a hammer and chisel.
