This recipe is popular in Australia and the UK, and it’s perfect for those moments when you want a sweet treat without the fuss of baking. Here’s a simple recipe for making Heather’s No Bake Mars Bar Slice:
Ingredients:
- 4 Mars Bars
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 3 cups (270g) Rice Krispies or Rice Bubbles (a type of rice cereal)
- 1 cup (150g) milk chocolate, chopped (for the topping)
Instructions:
- Prepare a Pan: Line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some excess paper hanging over the edges for easy removal later.
- Chop the Mars Bars: Cut the Mars Bars into small pieces. This will make them melt more evenly.
- Melt the Mars Bars and Butter: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped Mars Bars and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until the Mars Bars and butter are completely melted and well combined. Alternatively, you can melt them in a saucepan over low heat on the stove.
- Add the Cereal: Once the Mars Bars and butter are melted, add the Rice Krispies or Rice Bubbles to the bowl. Stir until they are well coated with the Mars Bar mixture.
- Press into the Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly into the pan.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the milk chocolate until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the Mars Bar mixture in the pan. Spread it out evenly using a spatula.
- Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, or until it’s set.
- Cut into Squares: Once the slice is completely set, remove it from the pan using the parchment paper overhangs. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or bars of your desired size.
- Serve: Your Heather’s No Bake Mars Bar Slice is ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
This no-bake Mars Bar slice is a sweet and indulgent treat that’s sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings. Feel free to get creative by adding some extra toppings like chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even drizzling some caramel sauce on top before it sets. Enjoy!
