INGREDIENTS
4 x “Fun Size” mini Mars Bars
80g Copha, chopped
1 tbsp golden syrup
2 cups (60g) rice bubbles
PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL
1 x (395g) can condensed milk
1/3 cup (70g) dark brown sugar
75g Fairy margarine, room temperature, diced
½ cup smooth peanut butter
CHOCOLATE TOPPING
180g 45% dark baking chocolate, chopped
25g Copha, chopped
Mini Mars Bars, chopped
METHOD
MARS BAR BASE
1. Grease and line the base and sides of a 28cm
x 18cm slice pan with baking paper ensuring a
3cm overhang on each of the long sides.
2. Thinly slice 3 x 64g Mars bar and place in a
saucepan with Copha and golden syrup. Stir
over a low heat until completely melted. Use a
whisk to stir until Mars Bars are smooth. Oils
will separate from chocolate which will come
together once whisked.
3. Place rice bubbles in a bowl. Add the Copha
mixture and stir until rice bubbles are coated in
caramel. Working quickly, press into the base
and into the corners of prepared pan whilst hot.
Use spatula to smooth surface. Set aside at
room temperature while preparing caramel.
PEANUT BUTTER CARAMEL:
1. Place condensed milk, sugar, margarine and
peanut butter into a medium saucepan over a
low heat. Stir continuously for 12-15 minutes
until smooth and thickened to a spreadable
consistency. Spread over rice bubble layer then
refrigerate for 2 hours until firm to touch.
CHOCOLATE TOPPING:
1. Thinly slice remaining Mars Bars.
2. Place chocolate and Copha in a microwave safe
bowl. Heat in the microwave on high for 1 ½
minutes, stirring after 1 minute until melted and
smooth.
3. Pour over the top of caramel layer, tilt pan until
chocolate covers the surface. Place remaining
Mars bar slices on top to decorate. Refrigerate
for 1 hour or until chocolate has set.
4. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30
minutes. Remove from pan and cut into squares
using a warm non-serrated sharp knife.
TIPS
• Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2
weeks. To avoid chocolate top from cracking, it is
best to cut once it has been sitting out the fridge for
30 minutes to 1 hour.
• To avoid burning condensed milk, make sure mixture
is being stirred constantly and released from the
base of saucepan
• Make Mars Bar slice for high tea, school fates and as
a food gift
