It costs £19.99, which might seem expensive to some, but at almost 1.8kg, you're getting a lot of chocolate.

Not only this, but this cracker contains snack size bars, rather than tiny miniatures that are consumed in just one bite. 

If that wasn’t enough, you’ll be pleased to know that this cracker contains a mixture of brands, with family favourites from Mars, Nestle and Cadbury.

The cracker is full with nine 31g Toffee Crisp bars, six 25g Twirl bars and nine 35.5g Snickers bars.
