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: at least 7 bars of milk chocolate of 100g each, more for thicker chocolate or a bigger tin, 1-2 jars of peanut butter at about £1.20, the makers using one jar, and optional red Dr Oetker Designer Icing, with a large flan tray, a large pan, a large glass bowl, tin foil, spoons and a small bowl. The flan tray was lined with foil; half the chocolate was melted in the glass bowl over the pan of boiling water, poured in, spread to the edges and set in the fridge. The peanut butter was stirred in a spare bowl to soften it, spooned into the centre and spread out, leaving a few centimetres clear round the edge to seal it in, then chilled slightly while the rest of the chocolate was melted. That was poured over from the middle to cover the peanut butter and fill the gap round it, set in the fridge again and decorated. The estimated time is 1-2 hours; no setting times are given.
