Snicker's Pie follow-up

by Nicole Weston, Posted Feb 7th 2006 @ 8:45PM

snickers candy bar Columnist Tim Dowling of the Guardian undertook the challenge of making a Snickers Pie, also known as the unhealthiest recipe ever, to see how it tasted. According to the comments from our last post, many readers think that the pie should taste fantastic - an opinion based solely upon the fat and calorie content of the dessert. Mr. Dowling's article supports the fact that this is not always the case. The dessert, which baked into something of a cross between a quiche and a souffle, was not more than the sum of its parts. In fact, he said that not only did the Snickers bars not improve after 30 minutes in a hot oven, but "quite apart from anything else, it has peanuts in it." Chunks of nuts in a melting, not quite homogenous mixture just doesn't seem to work as well as the endorsers of ultra-decadent desserts would have liked to believe - even with a high fat and calorie content.

I thought the candy bars would melt throughout the pie but they stayed in little chopped chunks and with the peanuts it just wasn't good.
