HOMESICKNESS

Lifestyle 

The Mars Cake is a tasty and crispy dessert. It is very easy to prepare, but generally the recipe is interpreted at pleasure by the chef with the addition of creative ingredients, sometimes not included in the original recipe. Definitely the purists of the kitchen will turn up their nose hearing a recipe of a cake made with Mars (junk food), but I think that every sweet contains at least one unhealthy ingredient and that is not the use of junk food in itself to define our health, but how much of it we consume!
I personally know a special recipe that one of my dearest friend has kindly given to me: we cooked it together last summer and during the preparation she confided to me that this dessert always reminds her of her childhood and her holidays in Tunisia, when her grandfather prepared it with much care and passion for her and her sister. He died four years ago and whenever she misses him, she makes the Mars Cake to feel a little better. Obviously there is a secret ingredient that he has handed down to her granddaughter and that unfortunately we can not reveal …


Ingredients:
· 200 grams of puffed rice
· One confection of Mars
· Chocolate
· 80 gram of butter.

Preparation:
1. Butter the pie;
2. Slice to pieces the Mars;
3. Melt the butter with the chocolate in a pot, if you want you can use the microwave oven;
4. Put the puffed rice in the baking tray with the chocolate;
5. Put everything in the baking tray in the fridge for two hours;
6. Remove from the fridge your cake and taste it!
