If you're a chocolate lover you've probably heard of Pods - the delicious gooey caramel chocolate inside a hardened biscuit shell.
They often fly off the shelves, but now one person has come up with their own cooking hack to make your own giant-sized Mars Bar pods, and Kiwis andAustralians are losing their minds.
In a post to the Slow Cook Recipes & Tips Facebook page, one savvy home chef says she's coming up with an amazing recipe to make your own massive pods, and it's incredibly cheap.
The post reads: "Just finished making homemade mars mega pods from my slow-cooked caramel."
"To make the caramel I put one can of sweetened condensed milk [Nestle brand] in my slow cooker, pull ring side down, filled cooker with water so the can was about an inch under water and left on high for 6 hours (also put the can on baking paper before filling with water to save it marking the bottom of the slow cooker).
"After the 6 hours I turned the cooker off and let the tin cool in the water overnight.
"This morning I warmed butternut snap biscuits [Arnott's brand] in the oven until soft, pushed a spoon in the middle of each biscuit to curve them and then let the biscuits cool. Filled the cooled biscuits with caramel.
"Then melted 150g of milk chocolate buttons [Nestle brand] in the slow cooker on high for 10-15mins just until melted and smooth and spread on top of each caramel filled biscuit. Put in the fridge to set. The caramel is so yummy I had to resist eating it out the tin with a spoon!"
