Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 Mars Bars, chopped, (the "standard" size weigh 51g each - the bars from the multipack are 39.4g so if you're using these, you will need 6 bars!

200 g milk chocolate
1 Mars bar for decoration (optional)

Steps:

  • Grease and line a 9x9 baking tin with baking parchment.
  • Melt the Mars Bars, butter and golden syrup together over a low heat in a large saucepan. The nougat in the Mars bar will take a while to melt down so keep stirring until you have a smooth, melted mixture.
  • Pour the rice crispies over the melted mixture and stir very well until all the rice crispies are coated.
  • Pour into the tin, smooth the top and pop in the fridge while you melt the chocolate for the topping.
  • Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Pour the melted chocolate all over the crispy cake. Decorate with chopped Mars Bar pieces if desired.
  • Leave to set in the fridge for about an hour before cutting into slices.

Steps:

  • Cut the Mars Bars into small slices and melt with the margarine in a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water.
  • Take off the heat and mix in the Rice Crispies one cup at a time until the mixture is only slightly gooey.
  • Spoon the mixture into a tray and spread out evenly.
  • Heat up the milk chocolate in a glass bowl and spoon evenly over the Crispies.
  • Leave to cool slightly then place in the fridge for a few hours until set.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use homemade caramel sauce instead of store-bought. - If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. - To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly. - If you want a smooth, professional-looking frosting, use a piping bag to apply it to the cake. - Decorate the cake with chopped Mars bars, chocolate chips, or other candy of your choice.

Conclusion:

The Mars Bar Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try!
