Categories     Slice

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 4

350 grams (2 and 1/3 cups) Mars Bars, roughly chopped
60 grams (1/4 cup) butter
140 grams (3 and 1/2 cups) Rice Krispies or Rice Bubble cereal
250 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) milk chocolate, roughly broken into pieces

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch square pan with baking or parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, add butter and Mars Bars. Place on a medium-low heat and gently stir until mixture is melted and combined. The mixture will look a little lumpy and won't ever be completely smooth - this is fine.
  • Tranfer mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add rice cereal and mix to combine - working quickly.
  • Pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture into one even layer. Pop in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour.
  • To serve, melt milk chocolate in the microwave until melted and smooth. Pour over slice and smooth out into one even layer. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Slice into small squares to serve.

Time 1h24m

Number Of Ingredients 10

65 grams (1/2 cup) icing sugar or powdered sugar, sifted
140 grams (1 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
75 grams (3/4 cup) desiccated coconut
115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) butter, melted
240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
60 grams (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup or maple syrup, optional
Sea salt
225 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) milk or dark chocolate, broken into pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang (this will make it easier to remove the slice later).
  • In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, flour and coconut. Whisk to combine. Add melted butter and stir until moist. Mixture should resemble wet sand.
  • Place mixture into baking pan and press down to form one even layer. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until the crust is slightly golden on the edges. Remove from oven and set aside while you make the caramel.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, add sweetened condensed milk, butter and syrup (if using). Place on a medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until caramel turns golden brown and thickens slightly. This takes at least 10 minutes so be patient!
  • Once caramel has thickened, remove from heat and stir in a pinch of salt. Pour over shortbread crust. Then bake for another 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Leave to cool for 30 minutes (sprinkle over extra sea salt if you like) before adding chocolate topping.
  • Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Once chocolate is melted and smooth, add oil and stir. Then pour over caramel layer. Spread out into one even layer and then place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool and set.
  • When you're ready to serve, carefully lift slice out of baking tin and cut into small squares. If it's too hard to cut (for example, if you left it in the fridge overnight), just let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or so and it will soften slightly.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the Mars bars: This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the slice tough.
  • Bake the slice until it is just set: Overbaking can make the slice dry.
  • Let the slice cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from falling apart.
