Mars Bar Caramel Crisp


This is probably one of the best and easiest desserts ever. It is decadence personified!!!!!! I am not kidding you, if you have a heart condition or are a diabetic this is something you will want to steer clear from. There are options ofcourse to change a couple things to reduce the caloric intake and sugar intake, but in all honesty life is about living and enjoying everything you can. I will be honest with you I would rather die on a happy stomach then an empty one and if it comes to that I would sure as hell hope I have this in my stomach. 

So this is my take or version on the classic bakers peppermint crisp. If you live in South Africa you are probably familiar with the bakers tennis biscuit packets that would have the recipe on the side. I love that recipe as it takes me back to having dessert at a the end of a huge family get together. 

All you need is 10 minutes and you are good to go. If you have a super busy day ahead and planning appertisers and mains for your guests, this is a quick and easy dessert that you can prepare the day before a big party.

Ingredients: - (this makes enough to serve 10 people)

2 Packets bakers tennis biscuits 200g each (if you cannot buy it from a South African store you can use any other really thin coconut biscuits) 
2 Mars Bar (OR Bar one if you do not get mars bars in your country) 
1 Tin of caramel fill
1 500ml Fresh Cream 
1/2 Cup Chopped almond nuts

Method: - 

Mix the fresh cream and the caramel fill together until light and fluffy. Place a thin layer of the mixture at the bottom of your dessert bowl. Now place a layer of your biscuits (it does not matter if there are gaps between them as it will get filled with the mixture) and cover with another layer of mixture, place chopped pieces of mars bars and almond nuts. Continue to layering process until you have come to the last and final layer which would be your biscuit covered with the caramel mixture and topped with chopped mars bar and almond nuts. Keep this refrigerated until you are ready to serve. Needs atleast 2 - 3 hours for the caramel mix to soak through the biscuits. ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY!!!! Much love CC :)
