Method
- STEP 1First set out all the utensils, which includes:
- STEP 22 pans,
- STEP 31 glass bowls,
- STEP 41 plastic tuppaware,
- STEP 5some cling film,
- STEP 6spatular,
- STEP 72 wooden spoons,
- STEP 8weighing scales,
- STEP 91 wooden rolling pin,
- STEP 101 large plate,
- STEP 112 table spoons and
- STEP 121 tea spoon.
- STEP 13Secondly, measure out the caster sugar and the golden syrup, then add to a small pan and turn on the heat.
- STEP 14While the sugar mixture is heating up, weigh out the chocolate and water then add to a glass bowl. Then use the double boiler method. (To make a double boiler, you have to put water in to a pan then let it boil. After that you add the bowl of chocolate and water.)
- STEP 15While the water is boiling stir the sugar mixture until smooth and runny. By this point there should be no sugar grains in the pan. Then take off the heat and add biocarbanate of soda.A fizzing reaction should appear. Then put the cling film inside the tuppaware and gently, using the spatular scrape out all the mixture. Now leave to set.
- STEP 16Return to the boiling water and place bowl on top of pan. This should instantly start to melt the chocolate. Now turn watere temperature down to a simmer heat (low). REMEMBER : keep the water on a low heat. If heat is high, chocolate starts to thicken.
- STEP 17If chocolate starts to thicken, don't worry: just add another tablespoon of water to the chocolate. This should make it runny again.
- STEP 18The sugar mixture should be hard. If not leave it to set for another 15 minutes. Next, carefully pull each side of the cling film up and this should ease the mixture up and out of the mould.
- STEP 19Next, get out the rolling pin and hit the mixture so it will crack into pieces.
- STEP 20Finally put the heat back on the chocolate so it's warm. Now dip the Crunchie pieces in to chocolate and lay flat on your large plate.
- STEP 21Leave to cool and eat!
