Mars Bar Square

One of our favorite desserts that I make for special occasions is Mars Bar Square. In the US you will probably have to substitute Milky Way bars as I have never been able to find the Mars bars with the black and red labels, so we import them when we go back to visit and when company comes down! I plan on making this for Christmas again this year! Oh, and you can double the recipe quite easily so it actually makes it to Christmas!

Mars Bars Squares

4 x Mars candy bars cut up
1/2 cup butter
3 cups Rice Crispies

Topping
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter

To make the cake: Heat candy bars and butter together to melt in a large sauce pan, stirring often, until melted. Remove from heat and mix in Rice Crispies. Stir to coat cereal.

Press into greased 9x9 pan

Melt chocolate chips and butter in a small sauce pan over low heat or in a double boiler until melted and smooth. Spread over cake.

Let cool and cut into small squares as a little goes a long way!


This is recipe is incredibly easy, especially when you taste the results! And it freezes well, should it actually last that long!


Updated to add: If you can get the Mars Bars that do not have almonds in them, that are black labels with red writing, those are the ones you want! If you find them in California please let me know where, I have been looking for over 8 years! If you cannot find them then you can substitute the Milky Ways, or do what I do and beg for your family and friends in Canada to take pity on you! :-)
