Jamie Oliver Mars Bar Cake is a no-bake chocolate slice made by melting Mars bars with butter, mixing them with crispy rice cereal, pressing the mixture into a tin, and topping it with melted chocolate. Once chilled, it sets into chewy, chocolatey squares.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 4 Mars bars (approx. 180g total), chopped

    • 100g unsalted butter

    • 150g crispy rice cereal

    • 200g milk chocolate (for topping)

    • Optional: 50g dark chocolate (for richer topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Tin

Line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper. This helps lift the cake out easily later.

Step 2: Melt Mars Bars and Butter

Place chopped Mars bars and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until fully melted and smooth. Avoid high heat to prevent burning.

Step 3: Add the Cereal

Remove from heat and immediately stir in crispy rice cereal. Mix until fully coated with the melted chocolate mixture.

Step 4: Press into Tin

Transfer the mixture into the lined tin. Press down firmly using the back of a spoon to create an even layer.

Step 5: Melt the Topping Chocolate

Melt milk chocolate (and dark chocolate if using) in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short microwave bursts.

Step 6: Spread the Chocolate

Pour melted chocolate over the cereal layer and spread evenly.

Step 7: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until fully set.

Step 8: Slice and Serve

Remove from tin and cut into squares using a sharp knife.
