With Toblerone fans outraged by their newly shrunken bars, our writer shows how you can make your own CHEAPER version

FANS of Toblerone reacted with choc-horror this week to news that its peaks were eroding.

We told readers how makers Mondelez blamed the rising cost of ingredients for their decision to stretch the space between triangular chunks.

The 170g bar now weighs just 150g and has a mere nine triangles compared to 11.

But if you prefer not to pay the same price for less chocolate, prepare to Tobler-your-own bar.

NICK PRITCHARD has put together this ten-step recipe to fill you up without emptying your pockets.

Ingredients

13

You will need the following ingredients: 170g of milk chocolate, 2 tablespoons of honey, a bar of nougat and a handful of almonds.

Step one

13

Make triangle moulds using thin cardboard.  Cut slim strips roughly 1.5cm across. Tape  the ends together to make a triangle shape.

Step two

13

Stick your triangles  to a piece of cardboard and cover  the edges with tin foil. Make sure there are no gaps for chocolate to leak through.

Step three

13

Finely chop the almonds. A tip is to lay the nuts flat on a board and run a knife through them several times until they are small enough.

Step four

13

13

Break up all the chocolate and put it in a suitable bowl to microwave on full power for one  minute. Remove, stir and repeat until smooth.

Step five

13

Break up the nougat into really tiny chunks. This can be a sticky job so use a pair of scissors if needed. Add to the melted chocolate.

Step six

13

Next, it is time to add the  chopped almonds to the mixture, along with the honey. Use a spoon to make sure the ingredients are well stirred.

Step seven

13

Now let your mixture cool slightly then spoon it into the triangular  moulds. Use a palette knife to flatten the top of each piece  so that they appear smooth.

Step eight

13

Pop the moulds into the fridge for an hour or  so until the chocolate mixture has cooled and properly set.

Step nine

13

Remove from fridge and push all the chocolate out of the  triangle moulds. Arrange in the shape of a Toblerone.
