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.
