2012 Cooking Club Week 25: Mars Bar Treats
Options
-
20-06-2012 10:11pm#1Howdy doody cookeroonies! Apologies that this post is a couple of days early this week: my cousin from Australia is coming to visit tomorrow and I might not get time to post this then...what with all the squealing, jumping up and down and elbow-waggling we'll be doing to finally be reunited after twenty years.
These tasty little delights are based on the fabled Avoca Mars Bar squares/biscuits/treats. They are incredibly simple to make, but hugely delicious, and whenever I bring them anywhere I am inundated with texts the next day looking for the recipe. This is a tray of pure love. (Also a tray of heart attack.) So...enjoy.
Ingredients:
400g of Mars bars (I used 7 x 58g Mars bars from a multi-pack)
250g Rice Krispie-type cereal
200g butter
1/4 tsp salt
200g milk chocolate, for topping (I used Milka)
What to do:
1. Chop the Mars bars and the butter into cubes, and put into a heat-proof bowl over a pot of barely simmering water to melt. Try not to eat too many of the Mars bar chunks. Add the salt. Use a balloon whisk to help it all along.
At this point, the butter sometimes separates from the Mars bar mixture. Don't panic if this happens! Just use your electric whisk to emulsify the mixture for a couple of minutes, til it looks like this.
2. Get your largest mixing bowl, and weigh out into it 250g of Rice Krispies. Pour in the Mars bar/butter mixture and combine with a metal spoon, turning until all the krispies are coated. This requires a little patience. You might think there isn't enough mixture at first...but trust me; there will be.
3. Grease and line with parchment paper a rectangular baking dish. Leave a couple of inches of parchment up around the edges of the dish. I used my lasagna dish. Press the mixture into it, flattening with clean palms.
4. Melt the milk chocolate (90 seconds in the microwave did it for me) and spread over the top. Pop in the fridge to set.
5. Once set, remove from the dish by simply lifting the mixture out in one slab with the edges of the parchment. Cut into squares and share out to happy people to thunderous applause.

If you are extra fat like me, take the recipe above and add malteasers, some cut up mini mars bars, mini milky ways and chunks of twix bars while mixing with the rice krispies. Me and my sister make these using one of those Mars fun packs as well as a pack of regular mars bars
Health conscious people stick to the original recipe above, which looks delicious. You can tell yourself its healthy as you have not added the stuff I add :pac:0 -

Thanks - these were fab!
I halved the recipe as there are only 2 of us in the house.. and it still made 16 decent size squares!! Am all mars bar treated out, and am going to give the rest to my oh bring into work.
Sorry about the quality of the photo. It was taken with my phone.
Thanks again!0 -
