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.

  • The ingredients were 2500 g of milk chocolate and 45 Milky Ways. About 600 g of chocolate formed the base in a paper-lined tin, and stripping the chocolate from the 45 bars took about an hour. The stripped chocolate did not re-melt cleanly because of the filling still attached, but it was used to cover the centres anyway before the remaining chocolate went over the top. The 5712-calorie figure is the contributors’ own. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5 · Source 6

Ingredients:

2500g of milk chocolate
45 Milky Ways

Multipacks of Milky Way bars and Sainsbury's milk chocolate stacked on a tablecloth

Step 1. Line a box/tin with greaseproof paper and add roughly 600grams of melted milk chocolate to the bottom! Leave to set in the fridge.

A paper-lined loaf tin with its chocolate base set, lifted from the open fridge

Step 2. Begin the tedious task of peeling the chocolate of off 45 milky ways! This took about an hour! Make sure to wash hands with cold water every few minutes to help stop the chocolate/milky way fluff stuff from melting!

Step 3. Once the chocolate has set remove from fridge and push all of the fluffy milky way stuff into the mold.

Nougat blocks packed in rows into the lined tin, stripped chocolate shells in a bowl

Step 4. We were planning to melt all of the chocolate that we had picked off the Milky Ways and cover the pimped milky way with that, but, it didn’t really work out very well! A lot of the chocolate still had bits of fluffy stuff on and it kinds of just ended up as a big chunky mess! Nonetheless we didn’t want to waste anything so we covered the fluff in that!

The nougat slab turned out onto a plate, sitting on its chocolate base

Step 5. Melt rest of chocolate and cover the pimped up milky way!!
