If you have ever been to ikea they have a cake called almondy which is a cake version of the Dime bar, OMG it is to die for.

I found a recipe that hits the spot, it's totally not good for the thighs but I dont care . cocoamoi.com/dime-bar-chocolate-cake-recipe/

If you are a fan of milkshakes you'll love this, blend together a dime bar with two heaped scoops of icecream and a glug of milk to make it blend nicely (all technical measurements sorry). They sell these in our town center for £3.50 a pop:eek: Needless to say I buy the ingredients and treat myself once in a while.
