Ingredients
Base
- 280 g digestives
- 150 g butter
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 4 tablespoons Nutella
Mars layer
- 120 g Mars bars
- 2 tablespoons glucose syrup
- 175 g milk chocolate
- 50 g butter
- 100 g maltesers
Topping
- 125 g milk chocolate
- 35 g white chocolate
Instructions
How to?
- Line an 8×8 tin with greaseproof paper or tinfoil
- Starting with the base, melt the butter and golden syrup
- Place the digestives into a blender and blitz until fine crumbs. Add the biscuits to a medium bowl and pour on the melted butter and mix well until the biscuits are fully coated
- Place into the lined tin and press down well with the back of a spoon, making sure the biscuits are well compacted together
- Set aside to harden while you make the rest
Mars layer
- Next for the Mars layer, place the Mars bars, butter, milk chocolate and into glucose syrup into a medium bowl.
- Place the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and keep over a low heat until melted. *stick with this. The Mars bars kind of look like they’ll split, but keep stirring with a whisk and you’ll see the ingredients coming together. It should be a silky smooth mixture before you take it off the heat
- Once melted fully, add the maltesers in and stir well
To assemble
- Place the Nutella on top of the biscuit base and spread all over the base until you have a nice coating *don’t be tempted to skip the Nutella, you need it to bind the two layers together.
- Pour the Mars mixture on top of the Nutella and press it well into the tin using the back of a metal spoon making sure it’s pressed well down and level on top
For the topping
- Melt the milk and white chocolate in separate bowls
- Pour the milk chocolate on first and spread it out over the whole surface of the Mars squares
- Make horizontal lines about ½ inch apart using the white chocolate and then using a skewer or the pointed end of a knife, run through the milk and white chocolate making swirls!
- Leave to set for at least 2 hour *don’t put into the fridge as it will set too hard. Room temperature is fine!
