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 account gives a Munchie as 10g and Sir Munchalot as over 1000KG, off the scale, at an estimated cost of £3.15 and thousands of calories. The ingredients are 4 big bars of chocolate at 200g each, a pack of digestives, a pot of single cream, 2 knobs of butter, a spoonful of sugar and a couple of tablespoons of golden syrup. Two-thirds of the chocolate was melted and half of that poured into a rectangular mould, the only one to hand, then frozen for 10 to 15 minutes; a plastic container was set on the base and the rest of the melted chocolate poured round it for the sides. Half a packet of digestives was pulverised with a club, mixed with melted butter rather than low-fat spread, which the account says tastes rank and discolours, shaped into a large biscuit and chilled. The container was prised out by brute force, the cooled caramel poured in and frozen, though the caramel’s cooking is not described; a second shop was needed for more chocolate. The biscuit went on top of the caramel, the remaining chocolate was melted, poured over and levelled, and the whole returned to the freezer to harden.

Having returned to our humble abode we set about melting 2/3 of the gargantuas quantity of chocolate required, then poured 1/2 of this into the Munchie mould.(Due to the impulsiveness of our pimping project, only a rectangle Munchie mould could be found, but you do get more Munchie for your money this way.) It was then placed in the freezer for 10/15 minutes. To make the sides of Sir Munchalot, we needed to place…

Arise Sir Munchalot!
The Knight of the Munchie has arrived.
Prepare to be conquered by this ‘Knight of the Square Chocolatey Table’.Sir Munchalot is undefeated, even Guinevere couldn’t resist falling for his chocolate log, and neither can you.
The legend begins in a very clean kitchen…….
We started our epic journey to Tesco Express at the hour of 9:30, arriving a whole minute later. We traded our hard earned pieces of silver for as much chocolate as possible, ignoring the funny looks we recieved, remembering it was all for a worthy and honourable cause.
Having returned to our humble abode we set about melting 2/3 of the gargantuas quantity of chocolate required, then poured 1/2 of this into the Munchie mould.(Due to the impulsiveness of our pimping project, only a rectangle Munchie mould could be found, but you do get more Munchie for your money this way.) It was then placed in the freezer for 10/15 minutes. To make the sides of Sir Munchalot, we needed to place a plastic container inside the mould, and on top of the base recently frozen. Next we poured the rest of the already molten choclate around the sides of the plastic container. Beware our story is about to get messy!!!
Place him gently back in his icey lair.
Now heres the fun part…..
We pulvarised half a packet of digestive biscuits, using this opportunity to vent any pent up aggression, with a club. If one of these is not available a rolling pin will do! Next we mixed the crumbs with melted butter. NOTE TO ALL: DO NOT USE LOW FAT MARG IT TASTES RANK AND GOES A WEIRD COLOUR. It was moulded into a large biscuit shape on put in the fridge.
We removed the Munchie mould from the freezer and used brute force to entice the plastic tub from the chocolatey grip of Sir Munchalot. The cooled caramel was then poured into the mould and placed back into the freezer.
We used this opportunity to sit back and have a cuppa while watching Neighbours (eh hem or rather we popped to Tesco as had underestimated just how mighty and chocolatey He was going to be).
The remaining chocolate was then melted, while this was happening, we released Sir Munchalot from his icey lair and placed his crunchy biscuit heart on top of his soft caramel centre (admit it every knight has one!). He was almost complete……
The molten chocolate was poured on top and leveled. He was returned back to his place in the freezer as his armour needed to harden, before he could be displayed in his full glory.
A warrior was born! We had reached our CARAMELOT!
munch……..munch……..munch……..munch……..munch……..munch……..munch……..munch
(WARNING! Remember to stop munching when you feel ill, nobody should attempt to eat this beast in one go.)
Enjoy.
