Mars Bar Cake Recipes

MARS BAR CRISPY CAKE

Steps:

• Grease and line a 9x9 baking tin with baking parchment.
• Melt the Mars Bars, butter and golden syrup together over a low heat in a large saucepan. The nougat in the Mars bar will take a while to melt down so keep stirring until you have a smooth, melted mixture.
• Pour the rice crispies over the melted mixture and stir very well until all the rice crispies are coated.
• Pour into the tin, smooth the top and pop in the fridge while you melt the chocolate for the topping.
• Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Pour the melted chocolate all over the crispy cake. Decorate with chopped Mars Bar pieces if desired.
• Leave to set in the fridge for about an hour before cutting into slices.
