INGREDIENTS
- Milk chocolate: 250g
- Mars bars: 4 std bars (230g)
- Rice Krispies: 135g
- Butter (salted): 115g
- Golden syrup: 1.5 TBS
| METHOD
- Cut the mars bars into small chunks.
- Melt the butter and mars bars pieces together in a bain-marie*.
- Add the rice krispies and golden syrup. Mix thoroughly.
- Line a 20cm x 26cm (8in x 10in) or similar size tray with non-stick baking parchment.
- Pour the mix into the tray and spread firmly and evenly to the edges and then allow the mix to cool.
- Melt the chocolate bars in a bain-marie (they’ll melt quicker if you break them up). Spread evenly and smoothly on the contents of the tray.
- Allow the cake to cool down in a fridge before cutting to required sizes.
(*Bain-marie means water-bath. A practical approach is to mix the specified ingredients in a pyrex bowl, or similar, which is perched on a saucepan of a smaller diameter.
The saucepan contains water which is kept warm on the hob with just enough heat to melt the ingredients in the bowl above.
This approach ensures there’s no disaster like accidentally boiling or burning any of the ingredients.)
