The Final Mixture mixture you make is another separate bowl with the ingredients listed. You mix this bowl separately as well. 

Then you add both the “Chocolate Mix” and “Flour Mix” into the Final Mixture bowl and mix it together. Then you put tinfoil on top of the bowl and let it chill for 1 hour.
