Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 Mars bars, chopped
- 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan to ensure the squares do not stick after setting.
- Melt Butter: In a large saucepan over low heat, gently melt the unsalted butter, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Mars Bars: Add the chopped Mars bars to the melted butter and stir continuously until the mixture becomes fully combined and smooth, creating a luscious caramel-chocolate blend.
- Incorporate Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the Rice Krispies cereal gently until the cereal is evenly coated with the Mars bar mixture.
- Press Mixture: Firmly press the coated cereal mixture into the prepared baking pan using a spatula to create an even layer.
- Melt Chocolate Topping: In a heatproof bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth and creamy.
- Spread Chocolate: Evenly spread the melted milk chocolate over the pressed cereal mixture in the pan.
- Set and Slice: Allow the squares to set at room temperature for about 2 hours until firm, then slice into 16 squares and enjoy your treat!
Notes
- Ensure the Mars bars are chopped into small pieces for easier melting.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the squares hold together.
- If desired, chill the squares in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the squares cleanly without crumbling.
