Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour; 1-1/4 cup Sugar; 1 cup Butter, Softened; 5 whole Eggs; 1/3 cups Cornstarch; 1/3 cups Heavy Cream; 2 Tablespoons Rum (or Rum Extract); 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract; 1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg; 8 ounces, weight Milk Chocolate Candy Bar

Servings: persons

1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
1-1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Butter, Softened
5 whole Eggs
1/3 cups Cornstarch
1/3 cups Heavy Cream
2 Tablespoons Rum (or Rum Extract)
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
8 ounces, weight Milk Chocolate Candy Bar

1
Turn the broiler of your oven on low. Coat an 8x8 inch baking pan or casserole dish with tin foil, then spray it with cooking spray.
2
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except the chocolate) with an electric mixer until very smooth. Now place 3-4 tablespoons (the one you use for eating, not the measuring kind) of the batter in your baking dish. Brush the dough out evenly.
3
Put under the broiler for about 3 minutes (always have an eye on it and don't let it burn; it should just be slightly golden on top). Take out of the oven and place 3-4 more tablespoons on it, repeat the broiling process. Go on like that until all batter is used (about 7-9 layers).
4
Take out of the form and let cool completely. Cut cooled cake into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
5
Melt chocolate in the microwave and brush each piece with chocolate. Let chocolate set before serving.
6
Best results are being reached after letting them rest and develop their flavors for 3 days.
