Hi. I want to make mars bar rice crispy cakes. Can anyone tell me what else i need to use along with 150g of mars bars? I think they involve butter, golden syrup and rice crispies(obviously) but quantities would be great
TIA

    All i do with mine us melt the choc in a bowl over a saucepan (bain marie)? Add a knob of butter to thin the chocolate out a bit. I add rice crispies until all the choco is evenly covered.

    As you are using mars bars, i wouldnt add golend syrup otherwise they may be extremely sickly (due to the caramel part of the mars bar).

    You can't eally go wrong, just add rce crispies bit by bit so that you don't add to many. Sorry if this isn't much help, i don't do weights and quantities! x

    This is the recipe I use. I adjust it cos it doesn't use all the mars bars and just tip in a bit more rice crispies

    195g mars bars
    90g butter
    75g rice crispies

    Grease a 28x18 cm tin.
    Melt mars bars and butter in a pan, stirring (don't boil).
    Add crispies.
    Press into tin and let cool
    Refridgerate for about 1 hour.

    I never bother with the topping but:

    200g plain chocolate
    25g butter

    Melt and spread over crispies.
