Here I'll show you how to create a delicious heap of calories made of caramel, peanuts, chocolate and more sweet goodnesses.

First of all: Sorry for the poor pictures, my mobile seems to make good pics only under awesome light conditions. Just see them as instructional stuff, not as works of art.
Based on the comic book series Dork Tower (which I have never read, only heard of ;-) ) I took the recipe of the "Igor Bars" and adapted it a bit to the products you get in German supermarkets.

Step 1 - The Brownie Base


The base of this sugary attack of diabetes is a is a fluffy brownie dough. Unlike the cookie dough proposed in the original recipe it does not cover your precious rug with crumbles... at least not with that many. In this case I took 2 Packs of "Dr. Oetker Brownie Mix and prepared it as described on the package, except for the little plastic trays which have been replaced by a super professional buttered baking tray.

Step 2 - Peanuts, Caramel and Smacks

While the dough is baking you might start this time-consuming work.
You'll need around 100 soft butterscotch candies/caramel chunks/fudges. In my case. As you correctly remember, I used products from a German supermarket, so I went for 2 bags of "Storck Durchbeißer" which contained exactly 95 pieces, 94 after I tried one, you know... just to check if the quality fits my needs and so...

Add 2 tablespoons of milk to avoid crystallization and to keep a smooth and sticky texture.

Now you apply some medium heat to the mixture check if the brownie base is already ready. If so, get it out of the oven and spread a can of salted peanuts over it, just as you wanted to show your silly neighbor what "enthropy" means.

Meanwhile the caramel starts melting... Be patient, this step takes time.

There we are! A nice smooth caramel slurp.... now QUICK!!!!

Spread it out as even as possible over the peanutted brownie dough and add some cups of Kellogg's Smacks as quick as possible and press it down gently. You might want them to be stuck in the caramel.

Step 3 - Marshmallow Fluff


Phew! That was a hell of a rush.... now after breathing in and out a few times, we apply the layer of Marshmallow Fluff... Just open the jar , spread it out evenly and enjoy the looks of it. Unfortunately my jar was a tad too small because... you know I don't have to compensate anything. My jar contained 200g but I think 300g should do.

Step 4 - Chocolate Coating and M&Ms


Now we get beck to our oven and melt the sh*t out of our caramel coating.
We're using a classic hot water bath because, you know... that's the way you're supposed to melt chocolate coating. I used 2 Bars or 400g of milk chocolate coating.
Apply medium heat and make sure that the water dies not come to a boil. Also nothing of the water must get into the precious chocolate, otherwise the result will be questionable...

As soon as you have created a smooth mass like in the Lindt commercials, remove the smaller pot from the water bath, dry it with a towel (attention, as you might imagine the heated pot is hot. duh...) and empty it on the previously created caries inducing mass. As long as the chocolate is still liquid, empty a bag of M&Ms (the ones with peanuts) onto your work and voilá! You're finished!
