So here’s a fun fact that you might not know about my husband. Every night, after he’s turned his lap top off and finished work for the night, he pours himself a huge glass of full fat milk and sips on it while inhaling a king size mars bar. Every. Damn. Night. And he still has a 32 cm waist. And fairly decent abs. I mean, really. I only have to walk past him eating that crap and BAM! I’m a kilo heavier. Talk about drawing the short straw in the metabolism gene pool.
Anyway, this week the Mars Bar Kid turns 40. And to celebrate, I’m making him all sorts of dodgy baked goods that I would never normally whip up. Starting with this little chestnut, Mars Bar Slice. I’ve never made it before, partly because just looking at the sugar content in the recipe makes my teeth ache but mainly because I don’t like Mars Bars. But it was really easy to make and Scott’s eyes lit up like a Christmas Tree when I told him I’d made it, so it was totally win win. Here’s how you can win at home too…
Mars Bar Slice Ingredients:
3 Mars Bars
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups rice bubbles
400g chocolate
Mars Bar Slice Method:
Melt mars bars and butter in a small saucepan, over medium heat.
Once melted, remove from heat and add the rice bubbles. Stir until combined.
Poor mixture into a square baking dish that has been lined with baking paper.
Melt your chocolate and pour over the chocolatey rice bubble mixture, smoothing it out as you go.
Put slice into the fridge until set. Cut into squares and serve with an icy cold glass of full fat milk.
Then go for a hardcore run around the block. Twice.
