So for a friend's birthday, she decided she wanted me to make her a special cake of some kind. Knowing she loves kit kat chunkys, especially peanut butter ones, so I figured what better birthday treat than a big, special, kit kat chunky.
For this you'll need a hell of a lot of chocolate (I think I went throuh 28 big bars), a bag of ice cream wafers and a jar of peanut butter.
You'll wanna use a mould that's as close to the shape of a kit kat chunky as possible. I used a long rectangle mould but it was a little fatter than I would have liked. Melt some chocolate and allow a layer of about 1-2cm to set in the bottom of the mould by putting it in the fridge for a little while.
When that has set, start building up the filling of your kit kat. I'd put down a line of wafers, then a VERY thin line of melted chocolate, then another line of wafers and finally a pretty thick layer of peanut butter. Once you've done that, repeat until you've nearly filled to the top of the mould.
Once the filling is complete, melt the last of the chocolate and completely fill up the mould. Set the bar in the fridge and once it's finished it should be good to take out of the mould.
Final stage that I did was cutting in the Kit Kat logo and then glossing the bar with sugar and water so it was shiny. The picture was taken before the glossing so it still looks pretty rough but you get the idea.
