Description

These Mars Bars Squares are a quick and indulgent treat combining melted Mars Bars and butter with crispy Rice Krispies, topped with a smooth semi-sweet chocolate layer. They come together in just 15 minutes, making a perfect no-bake dessert for gatherings or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Base

  • 4 Mars Bars
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Topping

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup salted butter

Instructions

  1. Melt Mars Bars and Butter: In a pot over low heat, melt the Mars Bars along with 1/2 cup of salted butter, stirring frequently until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Mix with Rice Krispies: Remove the melted mixture from heat and immediately stir in the 3 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated.
  3. Press into Pan: Transfer the coated Rice Krispies mixture into a well-greased 9x9 or 8x8 inch pan. Use a spatula or your hands to pat it down into an even layer.
  4. Prepare Chocolate Topping: In a separate pot or microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips together with 1/4 cup salted butter, stirring until the topping is smooth and glossy.
  5. Apply Topping: Pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the Rice Krispies base, spreading it with a spatula if needed.
  6. Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator briefly to allow the chocolate topping to set firmly, about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Serve: Once set, cut into squares and serve immediately.
  8. Storage: Store any leftovers in a closed container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For easier cutting, you can chill the squares longer to allow the chocolate topping to harden completely.
  • Use a greased or parchment-lined pan to prevent sticking.
  • If Mars Bars are hard to chop, break them into smaller pieces before melting for quicker melting.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate if you prefer a sweeter topping.
  • Ensure not to overheat chocolate while melting to prevent seizing.
