Recipe byThe ZestyPlate Kitchen
A quick no-bake treat: Mars bars melted with butter, stirred through Rice Krispies, topped with milk chocolate and cut into chewy squares.
These caramel crispy squares ask almost nothing of you: melt Mars bars with butter, stir through Rice Krispies and top with milk chocolate. No oven required. You get sweet, chewy and crunchy all in one bite, which is why they tend to vanish whatever the age of the crowd.

Preparation
- Grease and line a 20 x 20cm baking tin with parchment.
- Put the Mars bars and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and melt, whisking, until smooth.
- Pour over the Rice Krispies in a mixing bowl and mix until evenly combined, then press firmly into the tin and set aside.
- Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of barely simmering water.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the Rice Krispie mixture and leave to set in a cool place. Once set, slice into squares and serve.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Melt the Mars bars slowly over barely simmering water so the caramel softens rather than seizing.
- Press the mixture down firmly in the tin, otherwise the squares crumble when you cut them.
- Leave the chocolate topping to set fully somewhere cool before you reach for a knife.
- Dip your knife in hot water between cuts for the tidiest squares.
Frequently Asked Questions
Any caramel-filled bar will do the job. Melting it down with cereal is a very forgiving method.
A cool spot will do, but the fridge sets them faster. Just do not leave them too long or they turn rock hard.
Up to a week in an airtight tin, assuming they make it that far.
