i don't know, i've been making this for years and years. this is my signature treat
Requires
150 g rice krispies (cheapest kind)
approx 200-250 g Mars Bars (about 7 small 33 g ones, or 5-6 of the standard 40 g ones), cut into small pieces
100 g salted butter
25 g golden syrup
200 g good quality cooking chocolate
Instructions
Line a container with greaseproof paper, leaving some hanging over the edge to use as handles.
In a bowl that's big enough for 150 g rice krispies, melt mars bars, butter, and syrup together in a microwave or bain-marie. It's fine if the caramel doesn't melt fully, but try and break it up with a spatula or something.
Mix in rice krispies. Coat thoroughly
Transfer into the tray. Compress firmly with a potato masher, especially at the corners.
Melt chocolate and pour over the for the topping.
Set in fridge, at LEAST overnight, then cut into small squares.
Notes
Have not measured the tray i use but would guess that it is about 10x10 inches ish? Gives 25 squares. Larger trays give thinner pieces but also thinner chocolate layer.
Sainsburys belgian milk cooking chocolate is the best cooking chocolate i've tried
Consider melting the mars bars slightly before adding the butter (as the butter will melt much more quickly)
Variants
you could probably use multiple different chocolates for the topping. do a fancy marble pattern, even.
