Ingredients

▢ 4 full sized Mars bars (51g each) - circa a total of 200g if the bars available to you come in different weights
▢ 80 grams butter
▢ 100 grams Coco Pops
▢ 300 grams milk chocolate
▢ 1 teaspoon vegetable or coconut oil

Instructions

Grease and line a 20x20cm baking tin with baking paper.
A handy trick is to cut a long strip of baking paper and let it hang over two sides of the baking dish.
Remove the Mars bars from their wrapping and slice into small chunks. Add it to a large saucepan together with the butter and turn the heat to low.
Move the chocolate around with a spatula to help the melting process. Keep to a gentle, low heat, you don't really want to see any bubbles.
Don't fret about the small nougat chunks that may not completely melt during the process. They actually contribute to the texture of the slices.
Once mostly melted, remove the saucepan from the stove and tip in the Coco Pops. Gently fold the cereal into the melted chocolate.
Spoon the cereal mixture into the prepared baking tin. Work it into the corners.
Once you have an even spread, start to gently compact the mixture into the tin with the back of a spoon.
The bottom of a flat-bottomed glass works well too.
Break the milk chocolate into small pieces and add this together with the oil to a microwaveable bowl.
Heat in 30 second bursts, stirring after each burst until the chocolate has fully melted. Careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal base and smooth it out with the back of a spoon. Place in the fridge for 2 hours to set.
Once you take the dish out of the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing.
This step prevents the chocolate layer from cracking when you cut it while it's too cold. Allowing it to warm up a bit ensures that you'll have clean and smooth slices.
Lift the uncut block of Mars bar slice from the tin and place it onto a cutting board. Cut into 16 slices using a sharp knife.
