Here’s a treat – take a Mars Bar and add butter to it then stir in some puffed rice and then coat the lot in chocolate. Oh lordy, it’s like taking a murmur and turning it into a heart attack, but in a totally fine way.
This is quite simply the fatty-boomstickiest slice you can make. I swear the only reason we made it was for Max to take into class for his birthday last week. God love me, I made it with puffed brown rice. A bit like having a diet coke with your Big Mac and large fries.
It seemed a shame not to keep (quite) a few slices home for me to enjoy with a cuppa and my latest favourite book: Michelle Crawford from Hugo and Elsa‘s A Table in the Orchard. If you have never discovered Michelle, you really should abandon this Mars Bar slice and pop over there right now. I loved this book just as much as I loved indulging in this slice!
Boomstickalardass Mars Bar slice
3 cups puffed brown rice (but rice bubbles are probably more honest)
3 x 52g Mars Bars, roughly chopped
75g butter
1 tsp golden syrup
200g milk chocolate
Line a slice tray with baking paper, letting at least 2 cm overhang at the edges (this makes getting your slice out a breeze).
Put the Mars Bars, butter and golden syrup into a glass bowl and microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir until smooth. If little lumps are still present, heat for another 20 seconds and stir again.
Add one cup of the puffed rice to the bowl and stir in thoroughly. Repeat with remaining 2 cups of brown rice, one at a time. Once completely combined, press the mix into the slice tin with the back of a large metal spoon.
Break the chocolate into squares and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir for about 20 seconds until smooth. You may need to heat for another 20 seconds if chocolate is not completely smooth. Once ready, pour the chocolate over the slice and smooth with a pallet knife.
Refrigerate until chocolate hardens (about an hour). Pull out of slice tray and allow the slice to come to room temperature before slicing into squares or rectangles. I like slim rectangles as they are easier for little mouths to eat. Not that little mouths need persuading!
Leftover slice keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of weeks.

Maxabella says
It is! But nooooo way is it fattyboomsticks free! x
Melissa Halfpenny says
NO Mars Bars are not Gluten free!! You can make a similar one with gf rice bubbles and Snickers Bars slice that is Gluten Free!!!
Malinda @mybrownpaperpackages says
I can’t believe you used puffed brown rice!!! 😀
I make Mars Bar Slice every Christmas, along with a bunch of other equally bombastic treats and it is one of the first to go.
Maxabella says
I know, right? NOTHING can make this slice a ‘healthier choice’!! x
Helen K says
Another recipe for the list! (Although maybe it will be more of an occasional treat
Maxabella says
Definitely a ‘celebration’ slice, Helen. x
Dannielle@Zamamabakes says
TREAT!!!! One of my all time favourites Bron!
I bet Max’s classmates were in delicious chocolate treat heaven!
Due to that puffed brown rice being used I do believe one could justify a few extra slices perhaps? You know I would be having a few extra slices regardless, that slice is soooooooo addictive, I think it is the first no bake slice I ever tried.
Thanks for linking up with our Fabulous Foodie Friday fun, such a pleasure.
PS – BOOMSTICKALARDASS……bahahaha love it!
Maxabella says
The girls have already marked it as their ‘take in’ slice for their birthdays. I’m not unhappy about that… x
Cos says
Sorry for the novice comment but can you give me the approx dimensions of a slice tray, please? I’m planning to make this tomorrow!
Maxabella says
Hi Cos – it won’t matter as it’s not an oven baked slice. You can make a ‘thin’ slice with a larger pan or a ‘taller’ slice with a smaller tray. For this slice, I used a pan that was 15 x 10 cm. Enjoy! x
tash says
That looks gorgeously sinful.
Must give it a go

Maxabella says
“Gorgeously sinful” is a must from time to time, Tash! x
Dani @ House in Tillford says
Yummy I can imagine myself eating the whole tray in one go!
Maxabella says
It’s actually rich enough to put the brakes on for us, Dani. I like a self-monitoring chocolate slice… x
Lauren @ The Thud says
Far out Mars Bar Slice is my favourite food EVER. I make it all the time, just cos. Fattyboombardalardah
I remember once hosting a mars bar slice vs. chocolate crackles competition at work to see which would come out on top. I don’t know why I bothered. EVERYONE knows the Mars Bar Slice is FAR superior to the poor old Chocolate crackle.

Oh YUM! I could do with a slice of this right now and big cup of tea 🙂 x
Kristy @ Loulou Zoo says
