It was my good friend Laila’s birthday this weekend – and as we all know, the lady LOVES Curly Wurlies…

Tim Ward and I made her a giant one to keep her sweet:

read on for the details…

The ingredients:

First, we put all the toffees in a bowl and melted them down in the microwave:

Then when all the toffee was nice and soft, we moulded it into a curly wurly shape:

Then we put some chocolate in a bowl and melted all that down:

Then we spread it all over one side of the toffee which we put on a cooling rack so all the excess chocolate would drip down:

We used a special tool (which might have just been a kebab stick) to poke all the chocolate through:

Then the whole thing went in the fridge too cool down:

When it had all set, we covered the other side in chocolate and let that cool down too – until…

…le voila! – the burly curly wurly was complete – hurrah!!:

It took Tim Ward and I the whole of Saturday to make it – but it worked out even better than we had imagined

Wes was so taken by it, he left his birthday party half way through the night to take it back to the safety of his own fridge. Apparently some girls tried to mug him for it on his way, so he hit one of them round the head with it and ran off!!

Read on to see how we made it…

The ingredients – total cost was about £20:

The mould:

(literally blood, sweat and tears went into making this, as I accidentally stabbed myself in the thigh whilst cutting up the tube!)

The toffee bit:

The divinity fudge filling:

We then put it out in the garden under a tea towel to cool down!

Taking the bar out of the mold:

Adding the chocolate:

This shows the finished chocolate bar’s weight in grams – that’s equal to 7 pounds, 2 ounces!!:

And finally – in it’s wrapper!:

We worked out it’s probably about 16000 calories in total – good luck with that then, Wes!!!
