I sometimes jokingly say some of the things I eat are so high in calories they would burn for hours if set on fire (after all that's how they count the calories of a food item, dehydrate it, set it on fire and measure how much it warms up a certain amount of water and you get the calorie count).
Well I decided to take a small piece of my chocolate chip cookie dough recipe which contains no water, only nuts, agave, chocolate chips, vanilla and salt and light it on fire and it made quite a large flame for several minutes, here's a video:

This recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups of dough but contains about 2500-3000 calories, it's extremely dense and filing.
Perhaps I should put a warning in my recipe book saying "DANGER: EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Keep away from open flames" lol. I can't imagine what setting the whole recipe on fire would do :eek: it's just a small bit in the video.
