Mars bars do still exist, as you can see in the video, in Europe and other areas of the world. Mars Cereal Bars: 1/2 cup (125g) butter 4 + 1 Mars bars (Milky Way bars in the US) 3 cups (90g) Rice Krispie (or plain Cornflakes) cereal 1 cup (160g) milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate In a bowl, melt butter and 4 Mars bars together in the microwave or over a double boiler.  Pour over cereal in a large mixing bowl.

Cut into small squares.  These are great. They have a lovely crunch from the cereal and are full of chocolate. Watch us make this delicious recipe on our YouTube channel...

Melt chocolate in the microwave at 50% power until completely melted. Pour onto the cereal bars and allow to set up at room temperature. If making without chocolate, cereal bars are ready w...
