- 200g (7 oz) milk chocolate
- 100g (3.5 oz) puffed rice cereal
- 3 tbsps golden syrup
Instructions
- Pan Preparation: Butter a 20 cm square baking pan and line completely with parchment paper for seamless cake removal.
- Mars Bar Preparation: Dice Mars Bars into small, uniform chunks to facilitate smooth melting and distribution.
- Caramel Creation: Combine Mars Bars, butter, and golden syrup in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melting over low heat while stirring continuously until achieving a glossy, homogeneous liquid.
- Cereal Integration: Remove from heat and gently fold crispy rice cereal into the caramel mixture, ensuring thorough coating of each grain.
- Base Formation: Press the cereal-caramel blend into the prepared pan, creating a compact, even layer with a smooth surface.
- Chocolate Topping: Melt milk chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring carefully to prevent burning, then pour evenly over the cereal base.
- Chilling and Setting: Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until the chocolate becomes completely firm and solid.
- Serving Preparation: Extract the dessert from the pan using parchment paper and slice into precise, bite-sized squares for serving.
Notes
- Chill for Perfect Setting: Refrigerate for 2-3 hours to ensure the chocolate layer becomes firm and maintains a smooth, glossy finish.
- Prevent Burning: Use low, gentle heat when melting ingredients to avoid scorching chocolate or caramel, ensuring a silky smooth texture.
- Even Coating Technique: Gently fold cereal into the melted mixture, guaranteeing each grain gets completely covered for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Clean Cut Method: Use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts to create neat, professional-looking square pieces without crumbling the dessert.
