I love making giant chocolate bars and giving them to amazing people. So far we’ve surprised some of our heroes with an enormous Kit Kat, Twix, Ferrero Rocher and even a world record Snickers! This week, you’re in for a treat as you meet Topou – a professional athlete, a great leader for young people and an all-round quality guy. I had fun experimenting to get the recipe exactly like a real Mars Bar (or you might call it a Milky Way depending on where you live in the world). I hope you enjoy making your own huge Mars and are inspired to do giant things with your life.
To make this giant mars bar you will need:
A container with straight sides. The one I used was 9cm (3.54 inches) wide and 34cm (13.39 inches) long
For the caramel
1 cup or 250millilitres (8.45 fluid ounces) glucose syrup
1 cup or 250millilitres (8.45 fluid ounces) cream (35% fat)
1 ½ cups or 315g (11.11 ounces) sugar
1/2 cup or 125millilitres (4.23 fluid ounces) milk (4% fat)
Place all ingredients into a saucepan and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Wash down the sides of the pan and continue to heat unstirred until it reaches 245F (118.33 degrees Celsius). Pour into the container and immediately place the container into a sink filled with cold water. Do not allow the water to come up over the sides of the container you just want it to rapidly cool the caramel so that it does not keep on cooking.

For the nougat
90g (3.17 ounces) or 2 large egg whites
1/4 cup or 63millilitres (2.13 fluid ounces) glucose syrup
1 tsp vanilla
90g (3.17 ounces) or 2 large egg whites
1/4 cup or 63millilitres (2.13 fluid ounces) glucose syrup
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups or 436g (15.38 ounces) sugar
3/4 cup or 188millilitres (6.36 fluid ounces) water
1 1/2 cups or 375millilitres (12.68 fluid ounces) glucose syrup
1 tsp malt extract
60g (2.12 ounces) or 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
200g (7.05 ounces) milk chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup or 188millilitres (6.36 fluid ounces) water
1 1/2 cups or 375millilitres (12.68 fluid ounces) glucose syrup
1 tsp malt extract
60g (2.12 ounces) or 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
200g (7.05 ounces) milk chocolate, chopped
Combine the egg whites, glucose syrup and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer.
Place the sugar, water, glucose syrup and malt caramel into a saucepan and heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then wash down the sides of the pan and add a candy thermometer. Once it reaches 240F (115.56 degrees Celsius) turn the beaters on high to whip the egg white mixture. When it reaches 260F (126.67 degrees Celsius) remove from the heat and pour in a thin steady stream into the whites with the mixers still running on high.
Once it thickens turn the mixers down and add the cocoa powder and chocolate. Turn off mixers and fold through until the colour is even and pour over the caramel. Spread out with a spatula to flatten. Allow to cool to room temperature and then place in the freezer for 2 hours to harden a little for coating with chocolate.
