Mars Bar Slice Recipe



Crispy rice bubbles are bound by a rich, slightly chewy, chocolate-caramel mixture and spread with a luscious, buttery chocolate icing. This slice is very moreish!

This recipe uses 270g of Mars Bars. Here are three ways to get this amount-
264g bag of fun size Mars Bars (close enough!)
4 1/2 x 60g Mars Bars
3 King Size Mars bars, and half a 60g Mars Bar


120g butter
270g Mars Bars
1 1/2 tablespoons (30ml) golden syrup
3 3/4 cups (120g) rice bubbles

Line an 18cm by 28cm baking tray/dish.

Place butter, Mars Bars and golden syrup in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly, using the spoon to break up the Mars Bars and squash any bits of nougat that are slow to melt.

When the butter has melted and only small unmelted bits of nougat remain, increase the heat to medium, stirring constantly. The mixture may appear separated at first. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens slightly, and is fairly smooth and amalgamated. Remove from heat.

Above: The Mars Bar mixture is ready when it has a creamy (ganache-like) consistency.

Place rice bubbles in a large bowl. Add Mars Bar mixture and stir to combine, trying not to crush the rice bubbles. Press mixture into prepared pan and refrigerate while preparing the chocolate icing.

Spread slice with icing and refrigerate until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Rich Chocolate Icing
225g milk chocolate (we use Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate)
45g butter

Melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat when mixture is smooth.

For a really indulgent slice try substituting Coco-pops for the rice bubbles - it works really well

Put heaped tablespoons of the mix into foil fairy cake cases and top with melted chocolate to make individual mars bar slice "bites". Great with after-dinner coffee.

A friend of mine made your recipe and she used it for a subject of an essay. She also decided to make some and bring it into the classroom. Luck I was there that day because I got to have a taste test and it was the best thing I had ever had. I wanted more and more but it was all gone:(

Thanks a lot for this recipe it was yummy. ;) five stars!

Thankyou so much for the recipe! Didn't have the golden syrup so just didn't add that in, but the slices turned out perfect anyway. Brought them along to a girls night in and my friends all thought they were amazing. I'll definitely be trying out more recipes from this site.

Loved this recipe but was wondering if it was cooking chocolate you used in topping?

We use eating chocolate in the topping, but cooking chocolate could be used if preferred.

I have made this 3 times and it is delicious every time.

I have taken the advice of one anonymous comment to omit the golden syrup for two of times I made the slices and they indeed taste better...to me. Apparently, the toffee-ness from the Mars bars are just right without being overly sweet.

Just one quibble though...the rice bubbles turns out more chewy (in a good way) rather than crispy (as mentioned in the introduction) for all three times. Is that how they are supposed to be? Or am I doing something wrong? Also, what's the best way to cut these slices without chunks of those toffee goodness sticking to the knife?
