== Synopsis ==

The Channel 4 press release said:

: Some of the country's top chefs have an extraordinary challenge - to work out the secret recipes behind Britain's best-loved snacks.

: In each episode, two chefs will battle it out to see who can create the most perfect replica of one iconic snack.  They'll be taking on the Kit Kat, the Burger King Whopper and a packet of Pickled Onion Monster Munch. On completing their masterpieces, the chefs will bring their replicas to the very factories that mass-produce them, to be judged by the assembly-line workers and bosses behind the real thing.

: Each week, the chefs' culinary technical skills will be put to the test as they attempt to reverse engineer the snack, with the product's published list of ingredients as their only clue. Meanwhile comedian Jayde Adams will go behind the scenes in these enormous factories to reveal the real processes that produce millions of the nation's favourite treats.

== Trivia ==

The episode on Snickers was evidently meant to air as part of the first series, since clips from it appear in the original opening montage. It eventually aired a year and a half later as the final episode of series three - and the final episode overall. 

It's fair to say that some chefs struggled more than others - serial [[Great British Menu]] sourpuss Daniel Clifford only won his second episode against Claude Bosi after Bosi gave up and served actual Shreddies, admitting his deception only after having served them.
