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 400g of digestive biscuits, after a serious misjudgement bought 1600g, 4 packets of marshmallows, 125g of Anchor butter and 500g of Dairy Milk, £10.89, made while avoiding the football. The biscuits were crushed, butter added and stirred, and the mix squashed into tins and set in the freezer; chocolate was melted, some consumed, and a layer added to each biscuit and frozen again to make supersize chocolate digestives. The marshmallows took 25 minutes to melt in a bowl on the hob and glued the makers’ hands together, so the microwave was used next time, 20 seconds. Pink marshmallow was spread on one side and white on the other, it set quickly, the halves were stuck together and prised open again, the monster unearthed from its tins looking like a saggy spaceship, trimmed down and pronounced delicious.

Haven’t heard of a smore? If you’re ever out on a camping trip with some biscuits and marshmallows, squash these two together in a sandwich and you have the perrrrfect delicacy!

So normal size smores are excellent, but what about a giant big daddy smore?! We couldn’t bear to watch the football (and indeed we did lose), so we (Bez and Loz) decided to find out.

Supersize Smore Ingredients:
400g of digestive biscuits (serious misjudgement = buying 1600g!)
4 packets of marshmallows
125g Anchor Butter
500g of Dairy milk (hopefully we won’t die of salmonella now)

Step 1

Crush biscuits whilst taking sneaky peaks at the football. Great stress relief whilst watching those penalties…

Add butter and stirrrr….

Squash those Portuguese- I mean biscuits- into tins and shove in freezer TO DIE!! …Er, I mean, set.

Biscuits crushed to crumbs in a big blue bowl with the end of a rolling pin

Buttery biscuit crumb stirred with a wooden spoon in a huge stainless steel bowl

Two round tins of pressed biscuit base held up at the open freezer to chill

Step 2

Melt yummy chocolate, consume (to ease football sorrow), oh and also add chocolate layer to biscuit and freeze again to make supersize chocolate digestives.
Try not to eat too much!

Sitting on the kitchen floor with a bowl of melted chocolate, licking the spoon

Step 3

Melting the Marshmallows (aka the War on sweets)

Pink and white marshmallows tipped off a wooden board into a large saucepan to melt

We decided to melt the marshmallows in a bowl on the hob.

This however took 25 minutes, glued our hands together and to several other appliances, so us being the impatient people that we are, decided to try the microwave the next time around… which only took 20 seconds. Typical!

So we spread the pink marshmallows on one side, and the white on the other. Sound simple? Think again.

Stretchy melted marshmallow poured onto the biscuit base in its tin, held steady by hand

Look at this super speed blurry action! Marshmallow sets darn quickly! Stick together, and prise open. Again, not so simple as it sounds.

Pressing the second biscuit disc down onto the marshmallow layer to close the sandwich

Finally unearth monster from tins, to find it looking like some kind of saggy obese spaceship.

So after some more wrestling with the Smore, (forget supersize, try super sticky!) We finally manage to trim it down, and get a finished result! Hooray! Back to watch Dr Who.

The giant s'more beside a normal-sized one for scale on the kitchen worktop

Only one thing left.. the Taste Test!

Both makers giving thumbs up behind the finished giant s'more and its normal-sized counterpart

And the proud new owners prepare to take a bite…
We Pronounce the Giant Smore… DELICIOUS!!

So try it, and enjoy!

Possible side effects may include slight jaw and belly ache. But it’s darn tasty! Pimp Complete.
