Others simply said 'yes'.
And it's not the only drool-inducing dessert flavoured with Mars on Ms Head's much-followed Instagram feed.
Last week, the baker posted a tutorial showing viewers how to make an indulgent caramel cheesecake flavoured with the iconic soft nougat-filled chocolate using seven basic ingredients.
Ms Head makes it with 230 grams of Mars ($5), 300 grams of plain biscuits ($3.95), 150 grams of unsalted butter ($5), 480ml of double cream ($3), 500 grams of cream cheese ($5.50) and 200ml of caramel sauce ($4.50), all available from leading supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths.
To make the base, Ms Head crushes the biscuits and stirs them into a saucepan of melted butter, then presses the buttery crumbs into the base of a 9 centimetre tin.
For the filling, she whisks the cream with icing sugar and cream cheese before adding chunks of Mars into the mixture.
She spoons the filling over the biscuit base and leaves to set in the fridge for six hours, minimum.
Once set, she drizzles ready-made caramel sauce over the top, allowing it to flow down over the edges to coat every inch of the cake.
She decorates with leftover chunks of Mars bar and sprinkles grated chocolate over the top to finish.
