Ingredients
- 200 g Mars bars
- 100 g Butter
- 2 tbsps Golden syrup
- 140 g Rice Krispies
- 220 g Milk chocolate
Caramel:
- 100 g Butter
- 100 g Soft brown sugar
- 397 g Tin of condensed milk
Instructions
- Grease and line a 20 cm baking tin with baking paper.
- Chop the Mars bars into smaller pieces, then add them to saucepan along with the butter and the golden syrup.
- Place the pan over a low heat and stir until it has all melted together.
- Place the rice krispies into a large mixing bowl, then pour the melted chocolate mixture over. Mix well until the rice krispies are completely coated.
- Tip the mixture into the lined baking tin and press it down firmly. Set it aside whilst you get the caramel ready.
- For the caramel, melt the butter and the soft brown sugar over a medium heat until it has melted. Pour the condensed milk in and mix well.
- Bring it to the boil, then turn the heat down slightly, but so it is still bubbling. Stir it continuously for 2-3 minutes until it is dark and golden.
- Pour the caramel over the rice krispies. Leave it to cool slightly before placing it into the fridge for about an hour to cool completely.
- Melt the milk chocolate in a heat proof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Once fully melted pour it over the caramel and spread evenly into the edges.
- Place it into the fridge for a couple of hours until the chocolate has set.
- Once set, cut it into portions and serve.
