Step-by-step

• Start with your chocolate, melt all 3 types over low heat, gradually stirring.
• Once finished, remove from heat, grab your rice crispies and almost mash them into the mix.
• Add raisins.
• Squash your pecans and almonds with a hammer in a bag which won't blow up.
• Once this is all mixed, put it in your triangle container (optional, this just makes it look like Toblerone) and freeze it for 45-60 mins depending on consistency; you know it's right when it feels like a chocolate bar.
• Enjoy!
