    This may be asking a lot but I'd really, really appreciate it if anybody has the recipes for (1) the caramel squares and (2) the Mars Bar rice crispie cakes from Avoca Cafe cookbook 2. I'm planning on making them next Sunday as a treat for being off junk for Lent, but I can't afford the book for just two recipes and don't know anybody with it!

    TIA :)

    just googled avoca cookbook part 2 and got the following recipe from a ballymaloe website - will post the caramel squares tomorrow

    Mars Bar biscuits

    Makes about 16

    200g butter
    6 x 65g Mars Bars
    200g Rice Crispies
    250g milk chocolate

    Cut the butter and Mars Bars into small chunks and place in a saucepan. Place over a low heat and stir until melted, taking care not to let it burn.
    Combine the Mars Bar mixture with the Rice Crispies in a bowl and mix well. Put into a lined 30x 20x5cm tin and press down with the palm of your hand until firm.
    Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Pour over the contents of the tin, spread evenly with a palette knife and leave to set. When firm, turn out on to a board and cut into squares.

    Melt butter in a heavy based saucepan over a low heat add sugar, golden syrup and condensed milk. Stir continuously for 40 - 50 minutes. It should be golden brown in colour when ready to eat.
