Hamantashen Time. Purim is here!
It’s hamantashen time at our place. The Jewish festival of Purim is coming soon. Hamantashen is the name for the sweet three-cornered filled pastry served
Revival: Mars Bar Slice
The Mars Bar Slice has come out of hiding.
Sweet, Chocolate, Chewy and Bubblicious
This #LetsLunch time we are posting about guilty pleasures. What’s yours?
This is a recipe that has been hidden for more than 10 years. It is from my original handwritten recipe book, and is one of those recipes that (over the years) became invisible. I am unsure of its origin, and I haven’t made it in years. But when I do, it conjures up memories and tastes of years gone by. A taste of a particular time in life. Perhaps it was a baby’s playgroup where someone shared the recipe? Perhaps it was from a Tupperware party in the early days of marriage? Perhaps it was from the school fete where some clever mother had made trays and trays?
Whatever it is, it is definitely a guilty pleasure. A very sweet slice with a delicious chewy and light texture. Fun for a special (guilty!) treat.
So let’s give it a huge revival.
Mars Bar slice, welcome back to my grown up kitchen!
INGREDIENTS
3 cups Rice Bubbles (Rice Crispies)
4 tablespoons (75 g) butter
1 heaped tablespoon golden syrup
3 large Mars bars (total weight around 200 g or 7 oz)
150 g (5 oz) bittersweet dark chocolate, melted, for the topping

That looks delicious! I have somehow managed to never have a Mars Bar; I’m thinking I need to rectify that.
So glad you brought out the recipe after all these years. This looks divine. I can just smell the aroma. I have to make this one. It was fun doing #LetsLunch this month with you!

These would kill at any bake sale across the country. Also, I would kill for several of these right now, while I’m catching up in the Breaking Bad k-hole. (NO SPOILERS!!!!)
I make an indulgent hot chocolate with melted candy bars and I’ll definitely have to give this a try with cereal, too. And I love that Rice Krispies are Rice Bubbles down under!
Rice Crispy treats with a twist. I never thought of using Mars Bars. What a good idea!! Sometimes I used Peanut Butter.
it was delicous
