What is a Mars bar slice?

Made with one of the world’s most popular chocolate bars, the Mars bar slice is essentially a melted Mars bar, mixed with rice bubbles, and butter with extra melted chocolate on top, then splayed out in a tray to chill in the fridge and form into a slice.

No bake, no fuss, max taste. It’s crunchy and it’s caramel-y, chunky and more-ish.

Spread the melted chocolate evenly.

As a rough guide, Taste used what was ‘lying around’ in the office – so two Mars bars, about a cup of Kellogg’s rice bubbles, about one and a half tablespoons of butter, and some Cadbury milk chocolate for melting over the top.

Taste packed it all into the base of a tupperware container, and set it in the fridge for an hour. Once set, we cut it up and enjoyed it with a cuppa. Goodbye afternoon slump.

And a tip from one of Taste’s in-office Mars bar-makers, Julia: “The Mars bar might take a while to melt into a smooth consistency, so just be patient when microwaving it. Make sure to stir in 30 second intervals.”
