Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 Mars bars
- 34 cups (8.5 cups) Rice Krispies
- 200g (7 ounces) milk chocolate, melted
Binding/Melting Ingredients:
- 85g (3 ounces) butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
Instructions
- Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn’t touch the water.
- Gradually melt Mars bars, butter, and golden syrup together, stirring continuously until smooth and fully combined at low temperature.
- Remove the melted mixture from heat and gently fold in cornflakes, ensuring each flake is thoroughly coated with the chocolate-caramel mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into a pre-lined rectangular baking tin, using a spatula to spread evenly and press down firmly to create a compact layer.
- Melt additional chocolate in the same double boiler method, then carefully pour over the cornflake base, using a palette knife to create an even, glossy surface.
- Refrigerate for approximately 30-45 minutes until the chocolate sets completely and becomes firm to the touch.
- Remove from refrigerator and slice into uniform squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts for precise edges.
Notes
- Use a double boiler or heatproof bowl to melt chocolate and Mars bars gently, preventing burning or separating.
- Choose crispy, fresh cornflakes for maximum crunch and texture in the final treat.
- Adjust sweetness by using dark or milk chocolate on top, depending on personal preference.
- Line the tin with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of squares.
