Mars Bars
Chewy, chocolate-coated bars layered with nougat, caramel, and chocolate for a homemade Mars-style treat.
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
- 2/3 cup Nutella
- 12 ounces chocolate, divided split between base and coating
- 7 ounces caramels unwrapped
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt half of the chocolate (about 6 ounces) in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the lined pan and spread into an even layer.
- In a clean bowl combine the marshmallow fluff and Nutella. Microwave for 20 seconds, then whisk until fully combined and smooth. Spread this nougat layer evenly over the chocolate in the pan.
- Place the unwrapped caramels and the milk in a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir and continue microwaving in short bursts if needed until melted and smooth. Pour the caramel over the nougat layer and smooth with a spatula.
- Freeze the pan for 1–2 hours, or until the layers are firm.
- Remove the firm slab from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 12 bars with a sharp knife.
- Melt the remaining chocolate. Using two forks, dip each bar into the melted chocolate to coat completely, letting excess chocolate drip off, then transfer to a wire rack to set.
- Let the chocolate coating firm before serving.
