Snickers pie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Snickers pie is a chocolate dessert whose ingredients include five Snickers bars, and both mascarpone and soft cheese. The recipe appeared on the BBC cookery show Saturday Kitchen, where it was made by Antony Worrall Thompson.[1]

The Food Commission called the Snickers pie "one of the most unhealthy recipes ever published".[2] Antony Worrall Thompson said the pie was intended as a treat for children and was not meant for regular consumption.[3] The recipe was initially removed but is still available from the BBC website.[2][4]

A serving of the pie contains over 1,250 calories, the equivalent of 22 teaspoons of fat and 11 teaspoons of sugar.[3]
