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 6 bars of 200g Tesco chocolate, a 4 pack of Flakes and Askeys ice cream cornets, crushed. Noticing nobody had done a Time Out, Martin and Dave made one they reckon is about 24x heavier than a normal bar, their first pimp. The chocolate was melted and the base poured, the crushed cones added as the wafer layer, the 4 Flakes laid on top, even more melted chocolate layered over, and the bar left to cool for a few hours in the fridge before cutting.

3. Add the 4 flakes on top.

Flake bars laid side by side in rows across the wafer layer in the tin

4. Layer with even more melted chocolate.

A final layer of melted chocolate poured over the Flakes, sealing the top

5. Allow to cool for a few hours in the fridge.
