This particular
dessert deserves a place of honor on the list of the worst foods you can eat. Snickers Pie, an ultra-rich dessert
developed by Chef Antony Worrall Thompson (pictured), has
over 1250 calories per slice and over 100 grams of fat. Though the chef himself has written a book advocating healthy
eating and a healthy lifestyle, he insists that customers willingly and knowingly put taste before healthy in
restaurants and that they deserve to "get their taste-buds tickled." He insists that the dessert is meant to
be an occasional snack for children, but with over half the recommended daily amount of calories for an adult in each
serving, it still seems difficult to recommend it. It's easier (and healthier) just to eat a Snickers bar alone.
Nevertheless, here's the recipe for those who are curious.
