About our Chocolate Mars Bar Cake recipe:

The humble Mars Bar Slice is definitely a retro childhood favourite and a fantastic rainy day bake to make with the family (no matter what their age). A chewy gooey cereal base blended with melted Mars Bars and topped with milk chocolate and white chocolate swirls - what's not to love?

Here's how to make Mars Bar Cakes with minimal fuss and maximum flavour.

Method

  1. Step 1:

    Prepare a 20cm square baking tin, by lightly greasing it and lining it with baking paper.

  2. Step 2:

    In a heatproof bowl, heat the butter, golden syrup and 3 of the chopped Mars Bars until they have melted. Don't worry if the Mars Bars do not full melt at this point. 

  3. Step 3:

    Add the Rice Krispies into the bowl and stir in with the remaining Mars Bar.

  4. Step 4:

    Pour the mixture into the baking tin and press down firmly (we used a potato masher for this)

  5. Step 5:

    In another heatproof bowl, melt the milk chocolate, stirring until smooth, then pour over the top of the Krispie mixture. 

  6. Step 6:

    Moving quickly before the milk chocolate sets, melt the white chocolate and drizzle in lines up and down the surface of the Mars Bar slice. Using a skewer, drag forward and back through the mixture to create a feathered effect.

  7. Step 7:

    Place the baking tin in the fridge to chill and set. Remove a little while before you plan to serve so that it is easier to cut into squares.
