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.
