Deus Ex - Chunko-honey Candy Bar

There was supposed to be a different post this week but it was swiftly changed after much complaining from a certain someone who was demanding a snack to eat while they played through the new Deus Ex that’s out on Friday (screw you, USA). So I obviously obliged when I discovered the Chunko-honey Candy Bar and managed to stop laughing at THIS video. I’ve sadly never played Deus Ex (shocking, I know) but I’m very much looking forward to getting in from work and not moving for the entire weekend. Although my lack of movement will probably have something to do with ingesting enough of these to feed a small country… then I could always use my Chunko-honeys to bribe small children to carry me around.

This recipe serves 8-10.

What you will need:

A deep square pan, baking/greaseproof paper.

Ingredients:

200g Chocolate (At least 70% Cocoa)

100g Unsalted Butter

1 Tablespoon Golden Syrup

3 Teaspoons Honey

100g Salted Peanuts

150g Cinder Toffee (Or Cadbury’s Crunchie)

Making the Chunko-honey:

1. Prepare the square dish by lining it with baking paper.
2. Smash the nuts and the cinder toffee into decent size chunks (not too big, not to small but just right) and put in a bowl.
3. On a low heat, melt the butter, golden syrup and honey in a pan. Once combined, remove from the heat and set aside.
4. Break the chocolate up into small chunks and melt it over a bain-marie.
5. Add the butter and syrup mixture to the chocolate and stir to combine, pour it over the nuts and cinder toffee and mix well.
6. Pour the chocolate mix into the prepared tin, then place in the fridge to cool and set for a few hours.
7. Once cooled, cut them into rectangular bars.

(Edit: I just realised upon further inspection of the Chunko-honey wrapper that it should indeed, and luckily does, include chunky chocolate and a honeycomb centre!)

OH SWEET JESUS.
