(Makes 12 generous portions)
Ingredients:
- 1.4kg milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 8 regular-sized chewy, filled chocolate bars of your choice (Snickers or Mars), roughly chopped
- 100g marshmallows
- 180g Maltesers
- 100g dried apricots, roughly chopped
- 100g raisins
- 100g Cornflakes
- 100g chocolate vermicelli
Method:
1. Put the milk chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.
2. Put the chocolate bars, marshmallows, Maltesers, apricots, raisins and Cornflakes in a large bowl and pour in the melted chocolate. Mix with a wooden spoon until everything is well mixed and the dry ingredients are evenly dispersed.
3. Press the mixture into a baking tray (33 x 23 x 5cm tray, lined with greaseproof paper), using a tablespoon to flatten and compress it. Sprinkle the chocolate vermicelli all over the top. Leave to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
