METHOD to create the Caramel Mallow Crunches

  1. Prepare the caramel by whisking 150g unsalted butter with 150g of soft brown sugar over a medium heat (use thick pan base where possible) until it’s smooth and combined. Add a 397g tin of condensed milk then mix using a wooden spoon on a slightly higher heat, until you achieve the smooth caramel look. Once ready, pour into a heat resistant dish to prevent any further cooking. 
  2. Create the crunch base by melting 400g of milk chocolate in the microwave, then add 100g unsalted butter, reheat and mix until combined. Add 6 tablespoons of Golden Syrup then 200g of Cornflakes. Once mixed thoroughly, using a tablespoon, add to the paper cases to just over the halfway point when compressed. Put in the fridge to set.
  3. To create the mallow. Place a large bowl over simmering water on a medium heat, add large egg whites, 150g Caster sugar, 50g Golden syrup, half a teaspoon of salt and half a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using a whisk (electric if you have one) whip for around 10 mins until you get a thick consistency and the mix will go to the more recognisable white colour. Once mixed, using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment mix on high speed until you achieve a stiff meringue consistency.
  4. Bring the crunch mix paper cases out of the fridge, remove from the paper cases. Add a teaspoon of caramel, using a large piping bag pipe on the mallow fluff creating a domed top. Melt 800g of milk chocolate then dip the mallow crutches into the chocolate then place onto a cooling rack, drizzle some white chocolate to finish the decoration. Note that Paul added some extra cornflakes and chocolate mix as an optional decoration.
