An oldie but a goodie! I love slices, bars and cookies made form candy bars and with Christmas around the corner these are the perfect addition to your edible Christmas gifts. I’m looking forward to having a crack at some Malteaser cupcakes in the future and I have an absolutely awesome recipes for Snickers Cookies that I must, must share with you all. You’ll hate me they are soooooo good! You can’t stop until they are all gone but unfortunately, like most cookies they are rather bad for the waist line :S
Mars Bar Slice
Ingredients
- 6 x 60g (2 oz) Mars Bars, chopped
- 100g (3.5 oz) unsalted butter, chopped
- 3 cups of popped rice cereal (such as rice bubbles)
- 200g (7 oz) milk or dark chocolate, chopped
- 2tsp vegetable oil
Method
- Line a 28x18cm (11×7 inch) slice pan with baking paper.
- In a medium saucepan, stir Mars bars and butter together over a low heat for 4 – 5 minutes until melted. (Mixture may look separated when melting the Mars bars and butter but will come back together after stiring for about 5 minutes.)
- Place rice bubbles in a large bowl. Stir in melted Mars bar mixture until combined then press firmly into prepared pan. Chill until firm.
- Melt chocolate with oil in the microwave for 30 seconds bursts, mixing afterwards or in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Spread evenly over Mars Bar base. Chill until set then cut into small squares. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Ahh this takes me back. Mars Bar Slice was all the rage at school fetes and the like.
I like the look of that – nice and easy – perfect for the kids lunch boxes!!
Looks delicious. Nice bar.
Yummy. I remember these well … can’t be any worse for kids than LCMs, can they? And at least you know what is in them!
They’re perfect for the holiday season. I love that your recipe seems so simple and easy to make. I can’t wait to give them a try. Thanks for sharing.
this is such a fantastic treat for my cousins coming over this weekend. i know they would love it. thanks for sharing this.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to make these, because if they are as good as they look (and as you say they are) then they would be really, really, really bad for my blood sugars. But I can always salivate over them on my computer screen!
OMG, it starts with mars bars…., you so know I’m in from here on in huh. Gotta try me some of these little babies & be dammed with the waste line
Thank you for this…I remember it from years ago!!! Dzintra♥x
These would be a hit with my niece and nephew (and with quite a few adults too, I think
Thank you for sharing with me. I hope you have a lovely Saturday afternoon!

Have a great weekend!
Oooo.. I had a boss that used to make these and bring in a whole tupperware full for us (for me)!… I love them!!!
Mars Bars make me think of summers in the corn fields outside Chicago. I will have to make this recipe before Christmas. So much fun.
i’ve not heard this name used for these treats, but it’s very fitting! they look magnificent, susan!
Wow they look great. I forgot how great they are, can’t wait to make these:)
These are one of my all-time favourites. They are so easy to make and while the kids love them, they have to fight me for them!
Mars Bar slice was one of the first recipes I blogged about, and it always takes me back to my childhood
So sweet yet so tasty…
Made it for a party, it’s a bit tougher than the coco crackles – but still a hit with the kids!
Sounds great.
Just would like to know, how long does it take to refrigerate approximately?
