Notes
- Mars Bars are a popular chocolate bar with nougat and caramel enrobed in smooth chocolate. They are called Milky Ways in the US.
- The most common puffed rice cereals are Rice Bubbles or Rice Krispies, but you can use any puffed rice cereal.
- I like to use a bar of milk chocolate for the topping. Cooking chocolate doesn't have the same creamy taste.
- If your Mars bar and butter mixture seems to separate, don't worry; remove it from the heat, stir it well, and then add it to the puffed rice.
