Kate Moss once famously said that "Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels." Well Kate obviously hasn't tried these! They are seriously dangerous!
Now usually I'm all for trying to give recipes a healthy twist, replace a bit of the fat or refined sugar or simply add some extra fibre or protein but with these bad boys, there is no redemption.
My mum used to make these foolproof treats for birthday parties and special occasions when we were kids. I have no idea where she got the original recipe from but i know she didn't make it up so I can't claim the credit for it even on her behalf. I have actually pimped the recipe a little from the way mum used to make it by adding a layer of chocolate topping making it even richer and naughtier. The opposite of what i usually do but what the hell!
I have made these for lots of my friends for birthdays, parties or just if they need a little cheering up and they always go down a storm. They are so easy to make as well and I have been requested by Anna Dunstan and Claire Williams to share this recipe so even though its absolutely not in any way healthy so not really in keeping with this blog, here it is. I reckon it tastes so good that its pure happiness in every piece so thats bound to be good for you anyway. Enjoy ladies!
Ingredients:
4 mars bars
4oz salted butter
400g rice crispies
100g milk chocolate
Directions:
Grease and line a 20cm square dish or cake tin with baking paper.
Chop each of the mars bars into 5 or 6 pieces and dice the butter nto smal chunks. Melt the butter and marsbars together in a pan mixing until smooth and combined.
Measure rice crispies into a large mixing bowl and pour over the mars bar mixture. Combine everything s that the rice crispies are evenly coated and press into the lined tray.
Melt the chocolate over a bowl of boiled water and then spread evenly over the crispie cake.
Leave in the fridge to set for at least an hour then take ut of the fridge for 20 minutes before cutting into squares. Best to store at room temp or in the friedge but take out and leave to warm up a little before eating.
I have yet to find anyone who doesn't love these little bites of naughtiness!
