PRINT RECIPE
Servings: 12 slices
INGREDIENTS
- 115 g Block Margarine or Butter
- 230 g Mars Bars (roughly chopped)
- 130 g Rice Krispies
- 250 g Milk Chocolate
INSTRUCTIONS
- Line a 20×20cm (8×8 inch) baking tin with some
greaseproof paper and set aside. - In a large bowl, melt the butter/margarine and Mars Bars over a bain marie, or in short bursts in a microwave. Use the back of a spoon/spatula to break up the nougat of the Mars Bars, as this won't melt as well as the butter/margarine. Don't worry about lumps though - it won't be perfectly smooth.
- Add the rice crispies to the melted ingredients and mix well, ensuring all are coated.
- Tip into your prepared baking tin and push down with the back of a spoon/spatula, ensuring an even finish right into the corners.
- Melt the milk chocolate over a bain-marie, or in short bursts in the microwave, before spreading it on top of your Rice Crispy base. Add a few pieces of chopped Mars Bar to decorate, if desired.
- Place in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight. Cut into your desired portion sizes to serve.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
All my recipes are developed using a digital scale and the metric system (grams and millilitres). Cup measurements are available as a conversion but these, unfortunately, won't always be as accurate. For best results, I always recommend baking with a digital scale.
RECIPE NOTES:
Mars Bar Size: If using full-sized Mars Bars (51g), you will need a little under five Mars Bars. If you are using multi-pack Mars Bars (usually about 40g each) you will need about 6 Mars Bars.
Mars Bar vs. Milky Way: In America (and possibly other parts of the world), what we in the UK know as a Mars Bar is known as a Milky Way - which, confusingly, is something different again here in the UK. Either way, it's a nougat & caramel-centred chocolate you are looking to use for this recipe.
Storage: Keep your Mars Bar Slice in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. If your kitchen is particularly warm, you can store it in the fridge.
Substitutions:
- Rice Crispies: Any crisped rice cereal will work here.
- Mars Bars: You can use supermarket own-brand chocolate bars instead of branded Mars Bars.
