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 shopping was 5 packets of white chocolate buttons, 1 packet of strawberry laces and 2 big vanilla fudge bars, plus a Milky Bar Choo for reference: the Co-op sold the sweets at 3 packets for £1, and the fudge came from Londis for £1.30 after the first shop had none. Finding only oversized bowls, the makers wrapped clingfilm around a squash bottle to make a mould of the right size. The chocolate was melted over boiling water; white chocolate went in first to cover the mould, then the softened fudge, and the second white layer barely covered it. Left to set during a film it was still soft, so 10 minutes in the freezer finished it rock hard. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4 · Source 5 · Source 6 · Source 7

I sat down under the weight of my idea, to take a breather. After regaining thought, i searched through the many cupboards for a happily sized dish.

5x White Chocolate Buttons
1x Strawberry Laces
1x Milky Bar Choo
2x BIG Vanilla Fudge Bars

Five bags of white chocolate buttons and two vanilla fudge bars laid out on a chopping board

We decided to create a Milky Bar Hooge Choo!!!! Only to impress all you Pimp Mystros.

So I took my wallet (as usual) and my lady took the choice of the ingredients using her "Cooking Brain", and popped through those automatic doors at the Co-Op.

Once inside we found 3 packets of assorted sweets for £1, picking up 5 packets of White Chocolate Buttons and 1 packet of Strawberry Shoelaces.
After searching the many isles we found zero FUDGE! So off we went down to Londis (the green shop) to pick up 2 BIG BARS OF FUDGE for £1.30. Returning to my humble abode to create this masterpiece.

I sat down under the weight of my idea, to take a breather. After regaining thought, i searched through the many cupboards for a happily sized dish. Only to find Oversized bowls, I sat and pondered over my dilema. But my darling revealed to me another brilliant idea, "It was obvious… Clingfilm" she said. I was amazed. Of Corse, After using a bottle of my favourite squash to wrap the clingfilm and make a more capable sized mold for the dream of mine.

Looking at other ideas i decided that the best way to melt chocolate was over boiling water. It was very efficient.

Well the hardest bit was yet to come we had to pour the white chocolate first making sure we covered the mold completely, followed by the melted(ish) fudge.

It turned out like this:

A thick strip of melted fudge spread along the white chocolate base in a lined mould

It was ok you see, Then we tried to place the other layer of white chocolate over the top of the fudge. It barly covered it.

It looked like this:

Melted white chocolate poured over the fudge filling in the cling-film-lined tin

And here we decided to watch Sean Of The Dead whilst it set. Once we came back it wasn’t anywhere near hard. So we placed it in the freezer for 10 minutes. Only to get it out rock hard.

The Final Result Turned Into This:
