The Ultimate Cake for Chocolate Lovers

Being an avid chocolate lover, I am always looking for ways to enhance my chocolate experience. Recently I discovered one such way by adapting a traditional recipe to make it more appealing to the taste of a friend for whom I was arranging a surprise.

Before adapting the menu in question, I took a moment to consider the favourite chocolate of my friend. I remembered that she is very fond of the Mars Bar, which also happens to be one of my favourites. Next, I considered how I could create a cake that is large enough to be presented as a gift to be shared with friends whilst remaining easy to manipulate into the shape which I desired. It is important to bare in mind at this point that I am not a professional cake maker, nor do I have a particularly extensive background in making cakes. Therefore, I needed to keep the recipe simple but effective.

When I was younger I used to make cornflake or rice crispie cakes with my mother, as I am sure most of you did. It occurred to me whether it would be possible to simply replace the cooking chocolate generally used in this recipe with Mars Bars. In theory, I could melt the Mars Bars in a pan and add cornflakes. The cornflakes would provide the substance I required and the Melted Mars bars would provide the gel to keep it together, whilst being gooey enough to manipulate. To my delight, the recipe worked a treat. Half an hour in the fridge and I had the perfect gift. So simple but devastatingly delicious. Interested in Italian chocolate also?
