Ingredients

• 4 bars (approximately 51g each) Mars bars
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
• 3 cups Crisp rice cereal
• 200 grams Milk chocolate
• 100 grams Dark chocolate

Directions

Step 1

Grease and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

Chop the Mars bars into small pieces and add them to a heatproof bowl along with the butter and golden syrup.

Step 3

Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir the mixture gently until the Mars bars and butter are fully melted and smooth.

Step 4

Remove the bowl from the heat and immediately fold in the crisp rice cereal, ensuring the cereal is evenly coated with the melted mixture.

Step 5

Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to create an even layer.

Step 6

Allow the base layer to cool slightly while you prepare the chocolate topping.

Step 7

Chop the milk chocolate and dark chocolate into small pieces and melt them together using the same double-boiler method or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between intervals.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate over the crisp rice base and spread it evenly using a spatula.

Step 9

Let the cake cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.

Step 10

Once set, lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place it on a cutting board.

Step 11

Slice the Mars Bar Cake into 12 equal squares or rectangles, and serve. Enjoy!
