Description
A delicious treat made with Mars bars, Rice Krispies, and milk chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 Mars bars, chopped
- 3 cups Rice Krispies
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
Instructions
- Lightly grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan to prevent sticking and make removal of bars easier.
- Add the butter to a large saucepan and gently melt it over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t brown or burn.
- Add the chopped Mars bars to the melted butter and stir gently as they begin to melt together.
- Keep stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth. If the butter and chocolate separate, remove from heat and whisk until fully combined to avoid burning the mixture.
- Turn off the heat and immediately stir in the Rice Krispies, ensuring they are well coated (use 2 1/2 cups for gooier bars if desired).
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking pan and gently press down using a lightly greased spatula or sprayed hands to even out the surface.
- Place chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and melt in the microwave on medium power for 45-second intervals, stirring between intervals until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler over low heat, taking care that the water does not touch the bowl’s bottom.
- Evenly spread the melted chocolate over the pressed Mars bar base in the pan.
- Let the bars sit at room temperature for about 2 hours or until the chocolate has hardened. When the chocolate is about 80% hardened, use a thin knife to lightly score where you plan to cut the bars to prevent cracking.
Notes
- For gooier bars, increase Rice Krispies to 2 1/2 cups.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
