    Hello angy141

    This very old thread that you've found and bumped is better suited to the 'Old Style' board, so I'll move it there.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Hiya,

    Does anyone remember the chocolate cement stuff you used to have at school. It was really sticky and literally stuck to the plate when you tried to eat it.

    I really fancy making some to bring some old school memories back

    Does anyone know what it is called and how to make it?

    Cheers :D

    Hi Wssla

    Some call it chocolate crunch and it has its very own thread with variations on recipes.

    Recipe for chocolate crunch

    I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the suggestions together.

    Edit - this thread on School dinners recipes may also interest you if you are feeling nostalgic :D

    Thanks

    Can anyone help? I remember it being like sticky and having cornflakes in it? Or is this something else?

    Sorry, i feel like I am following you about:rotfl:. It's a tricky one as you will see people call different things by different names. So one persons might be a completely different recipe and result, but still be known as chocolate crunch (or what ever)

    I suggest you browse the school recipe thread as you will see different descriptions of each recipe and get a feel for what's closest to the one you want to replicate

    If anyone else knows the specific recipe to help wssla, please jump in and help :):D

    Thanks
