Watch as Porsche engineers rigorously test the all-new 2012 Carrera 911 in South Africa and the Arctic Circle. Our engineers took the car on the most demanding road trips imaginable while in the most punishing of climates. They pushed the test vehicles to operating extreme months before the cars global debut. Why? To guarantee that the seventh-generation 2012 Carrera 911 will perform to Porsche Standards on the German Autobahn, interstate highway in the U.S. and anywhere else a car’s owner might be.

OPPSKRIFT PÅ CORNFLAKES-KONFEKT:
Det går fort å lage de deilige, sprø sjokoladekonfektene.

INGREDIENSER:
200 g sjokolade
2 dl kremfløte
5 dl cornflakes
2 ss lønnesirup (kan utelates om ønskelig)
Skallet fra en halv appelsin (kan utelates om ønskelig)

FREMGANGSMÅTE:
Ha kremfløte i en kjele. Om ønskelig; bruk en zester/rivjern/juliennejern til å rive skallet fra appelsinen og ha det i kjelen med fløten.
Varm opp til kokepunktet. Ha eventuelt i lønnesirup.
Knekk opp sjokoladen og ha i en bolle som tåler varme (eller en kjele). Et vannbad anbefales, da dette er den beste og mest smaksrike måten å smelte sjokolade på.
Hell over den varme fløten og rør godt rundt. Avkjøl litt. Bland inn cornflakes.
Bruk to teskjeer og fyll små papirformer. Sett til avkjøling i kjøleskap.

Nytes fint alene eller i godt selskap! Lykke til…
