Ingredients on the worktop: milk chocolate bars, peanut butter jars and a foil-lined round tin

2. Set the large glass bowl over the pan filled with boiling water and add half of the chocolate broken up into pieces into the glass bowl

3. Once the chocolate is melted pour into the prepared flan tray and spread out evenly to all the edges, put in the fridge and leave to set

Melted chocolate spread across the base of the foil-lined tin, left to set

4. When set, spoon the peanut butter into the spare bowl and stir to soften it to make it more spreadable

5. put the peanut butter into the center of the flan dish on top of the set chocolate

6. Spread out towards the edges and even out, but make sure to leave a few centimeters round the edge to seal in the peanut butter

Peanut butter spread out to the edges over the chocolate layer with a spatula

7. Put in the fridge to set slightly whilst you melt the rest of the chocolate as you did in step 2

8. Once melted pour over the peanut butter from the middle again and even out to make sure it covers all the peanut butter and fills in the gap round the edge of the peanut butter.
