welcome to how to cook thati am ann reardon today we are making a giant kitkat to giveaway to a great young guy who you'll meet at the end of this video. firstly you will need some large wafer sheets,i found these ones at my local fruit shop but you can buy them online too, i'll puta link below.
coffee roasting machines for sale in australia, melt some chocolate, it doesn't need to betempered for this part just melt it and spread it out to cover the wafer completely.then add another wafer on top before that sets and continue to stack them in this waychecking how tall it is as you go. i want it to build it up to be about 4cm or 1 1/2inches so add some more layers and then cover
the top layer in chocolate.let that set and then use a ruler to measure out long fingers 5cm or 2 inches wide.use a serrated knife to cut it through those and you'll have four even fingers with waferslayered all the way through and then two left over end pieces that you can either use tomake another two-fingered kitkat or cut them up and use in school lunch boxes which iswhat we did. now to make the mold.you will need some very firm cardboard and you'll need to draw that i've got all drawnout for you on my website howtocookthat.net, i'll link to that recipe post below for you.cut out the kite shapes from each corner. then score along the straight lines on eachedge. now scoring means you just want to indent
it at the top you don't want to cut it allthe way through and the reason you score it is so that when you bend it, it bends exactlystraight on that line. now you'll see on the corners that i've cut them on an angle andthat is so when they join together they are sloping outwards just like the kitkat shapedoes. now we want to line the inside with acetateso the chocolate doesn't stick to it. now you can buy this acetate at craft stores,or office supply stores. and then just glue it into place, while it is drying you'll probablyneed to put some books on top just to keep it flat.print out the kitkat logo and cut it out of some thick plastic. for this i am using theplastic off a document cover.
arrange those pieces upside down and backwardsjust like i am doing here and then glue them into place. use a ruler to make sure thatthey're straight and then wipe of any excess glue that has come out of the sides becausewe don't want that to effect our shape. fold your corners up and tape them into placegood strong packing tape is ideal for this. and then use the same tape to reinforce alongall of the outside edges. if possible leave that glue to dry overnight.i didn't i've gone straight into it but you'll see it would be better to leave it if youcan. take some tempered chocolate and spoon itinto your mold. if your not sure what tempered chocolate isgo to the howtocookthat channel and look on
the chocolate playlist there is a video thatexplains it all for you. then tap it to get rid of any air bubbles.add then add your wafer chocolate side down so that if you actually push it down too firmlyyou won't see wafer, you'll just see chocolate. now fill the mold up with chocolate and leaveit to set. once it is set cut the tape at the corners,loosen each side then turn it upside down and remove the mold.if your kitkat letters stay in the chocolate like mine did then use your knife to findand edge and pull them off one by one. i didn't let the glue dry overnight, i think if youlet it dry you wouldnt have this problem. but i just re-stuck the letters on each time.
repeat that 3 more times so you have fourkitkat fingers altogether then cut four long strips of your thick cardboard1 and a half cm wide. place the kitkat fingers in the middle. cutthe corners on an angle so the edges angle in and tape them to make like a fence aroundthe kitkat that is sloping in. cover that cardboard in foil and smooth itout as best as you can. then remove your frame and cover the basein chocolate, add the frame back and moving quickly before it sets add in the kitkat fingers.now pipe in extra chocolate into the gaps and smooth it out. in hindsight i think itactually would be easier to half fill the frame with chocolate and then add the fingersinstead of piping it in but you can try either
way whichever one you prefer. once it is set take the frame away and usea sharp knife just to trim off that excess chocolate from the base. then wrap it in foil followed by red wrappingpaper, print out the logo, cut it out and stick it on top.and today i've got here with me jackson who runs one of the biggest youth groups in newsouth wales. jackson why do you think it is so good? why do so many people go? jackson:"we are fun, we've got a lot of people so there is massive energy in the room. and it'sa place where you can't do what we do at school or at home. this is like we are not boringwe are young we are alive and we like to have
