Crispie Mars Bars
Mars bars, with their
nougat centre with toffee on top and covered with milk chocolate, are
a favourite the world over.
The snap, crackle, pop of rice crispies
are found everywhere, including Scotland.
Put the two together and you
get a treat that's enjoyed by children (big and small) everywhere,. and
not a deep fried Mars bar in sight!
The conventional
way to melt chocolate is to put it in a bowl above a pan of warm water, However, this recipe suggests using a microwave, not very traditional,
but effective!
Ingredients:
Three 65g (large) Mars bars, chopped up
3 ounces (90g or ¾ stick) margarine
Three to four cups of rice crispies
8 ounces (250g) chocolate
1 ounce (30g or ¼ stick) margarine
Method:
Combine the margarine with the chopped Mars bar pieces in a
microwaveable bowl
Melt in the microwave, on a medium heat, do not overheat
Stir in the rice crispies until they are well covered by the mixture
If the mixture becomes too hard when you stir in the rice crispies, put
back in the microvave for a few seconds.
Line a 9" (23cm) square tin with greaseproof paper (vegetable parchment
or waxed paper) and spread the mixture evenly into the tin.
Melt the one ounce of margarine and all the chocolate in a microwaveable
bowl on a medium heat and spread over the mixture in the tin. Do not overheat
the chocolate.
If you do, add two or three drops of cooking oil and beat
with a spoon until it has smoothed out again.
Allow the mixture and chocolate to cool and cut into squares.
