How long would these keep for?

I made these last Saturday and they still taste crispy and yummy. I have them in a biscuit tin box in the fridge.

Made these tonight, looking forward to trying them tomorrow (bringing them into work).

Made these last night for the gang in work.

Tried one. Didn't really like it so I tried another....and another...and another.....

...and then I *might* have had 2 for breakfast this morning

Round 2.
I've just made a quick dash to the local convenience for 7 mars bars, a block of butter and 2 large bars of milk chocolate.
I. Just. Cannot. Resist. The. Temptation.
Help.

These are in the fridge now. 200g of chocolate didn't come anywhere near covering them. Even 400g left me a good bit shy. I'm not sure if I spread them out too much or didn't compact them enough and the chocolate leaked through.

I used 400g of chocolate Too


Batch I made last night, I ran out of rice krispies so I threw in some coco pop, sugar puffs and handfuls of bran flakes. Kids still loved them and I must admit, they are just as nice!!! Nom!!!

That's what i thought initially but once set and sliced, I thought it was just enough. Any more would make it a bit sickly. At least that's what I think.

My work helped devour these, great recipe OP. My OH also brought loads into her work, they loved them. I'll definitely be making these again.

200g of chocolate just about covered the top of my lasagne dish btw. I used the milka with dime bits in it that the €2 shop had.

neuro-praxis' swan song. Bye bye and farewell! Always liked your posts. You'll be missed!

Will you still be checking in on us from time to time?

pinkieschick

OMG these look amazing have to try them, thanks so much for sharing

Princess Peach

Second I was invited to a BBQ I knew I had to make these, cause I was dying for a few myself but needed badly people to share the tray with :pac: I was feeling filthy and added cut up Twix and Malteasers. The top chocolate is this cheap stuff cause Canadians don't appreciate good chocolate, but it was ok as its mostly the Mars Bar you taste! And everyone was raving about them and wanted the recipe

Mellor

Made a smaller version of this last night.
1 Mars Bar
30g Cocopops
25g butter

Was a bit wetter looking than the OP. not sure is thats due to slightly higher ratios of mars bar, or if Coco Pops are denser - probably both tbh.

But was still amazing.

Little Alex

The rabbit got it!!!

krankykitty

Thanks for the lovely recipe neuro-praxis - and for all the contributions you've made round here particularly in the cooking section. You revolutionised my bolognese sauce with your suggestion of balsamic vinegar!

You'll be missed...

Loopy

Hah.
I just made a big bollocknaoise there and after reading your post krankykitty I added balsamic vinegar to it. It really gives it a wee kick. Cheers!
Neuro, I too enjoyed your posts all over boards, thanks for your contributions over the years.

Had to thank this purely for the 'bollocknaoise'

Neyite

I made these, and found them very sweet so used dark chocolate for the topping to balance out the sweetness and they were gorgeous!!

pinkieschick

ok i made these and they were amazing but they did not last very long will have to make double the recipe the next time, they were amazing

CombatCow

Fantastic simple and tasty recipe, thanks for posting it.

Mr Benevolent

Very tasty and messy. I used dark (60%) chocolate, very nice.

Mrs Fox

Will be making this later tonight for a kids birthday party tomorrow. Mmmmmmmmmm......

fitzcoff

I made these early on with the kids. Only had enough rice krispies to make a half mixture.

There is a very thin coating of chocolate on top as half the bar was scoffed by my helpers when my back was turned. Still they are yum.

Thanks op.

Looks lovely fitzcoff, apart from the middle one, which looks liked baked beans!

lol, now that you say it, it does. They didn't last long whatever way they looked

kate.m

Have them in the fridge now!


Hope they don't take too long to set

Made a double batch there for a friend's bake sale, nom.

Loopy

I made these last night. I used galaxy chocolate on top. Devine.

JohnK

I made these yesterday and they're tasty alright but I think next time I might try with a bit less butter as thats almost the dominant taste I'm getting.
