Chocolate Caramel Crispy
This is British nostalgia compressed into a single bite. The genius here is using a Mars Bar instead of making caramel from scratch, a shortcut that feels less like cheating and more like resourcefulness, the kind of thinking that defines British home cooking. Rice Krispies provide the structural contrast, their snap holding firm against melted chocolate and that particular Mars Bar sweetness. It's the sort of thing you'd find at a church bazaar or a child's birthday party, made by someone who understands that good desserts don't require complexity, just confidence.
Instructions
Grease and line a 20 x 20cm/8" x 8" baking tin with parchment paper.
Put the mars bars and butter in a heat proof bowl and place over a pan of barely simmering water.
Mixing with a whisk, melt until the mixture is smooth.
Pour over the rice krispies in a mixing bowl and mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
Press evenly into the prepare baking tin and set aside.
