Mars Bar Muffins Recipes

MARS BAR MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 fan and line a baking tray with 18 muffin cases. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl.
• Add in the eggs a little at a time. (if you have them whisked in a separate bowl you can pour them in the butter mixture on a scale until it reads 125g)
• Fold in the flour until it is all combined and add the milk and vanilla essence.
• Fold in the chopped mars bar.
• Fill the cases and cook for 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

NO-BAKE-MARS-BARS-COCO-POPS MUFFINS

Steps:

• Line 2 mini muffin pans with paper cups.
• Take one Mars Bar and slice it into thin wafers and then cut those in half so you have tiny squares of Mars Bars. (Refrigerating the bar may help it from becoming too mushy when you slice it).
• In a large saucepan over a low heat melt the butter and remaining 4 of the Mars Bars until it is a runny caramel.
• Do NOT overcook as the butter and Mars Bars will become a toffee if you leave it to heat too long. The minute it has no lumps and is runny take it off the heat.
• Immediately add the Coco Pops and stir until combined.
• Put one teaspoon full of mixture into each paper cup and press down firmly so that it takes the shape of the cupcake. Put the filled muffin pan in the fridge while you do the other one.
• By the time you finish the second pan the first will have set so tip out the muffins onto a large tray and put more paper cups into the pan.
• Continue in this way until all of the mixture has been done.
• Melt the chocolate and place about a teaspoon full over the top of each muffin and smooth it gently.
• Finally add a square of sliced Mars Bar to decorate.
• Edited to add: I made this recently with jumbo sized cereal balls which I had chopped roughly with a knife as I couldn't find Coco-Pops and it was very nice. (Some even preferred the Nesquick chocolate cereal ball version.) I also made these as normal muffins and they were just as wonderful in a larger version.

MARS™ BAR CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch springform pan. In the top of a double boiler, heat chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
• Transfer chocolate mixture to a large bowl. Beat in the flour and egg yolks. In a separate large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the chocolate mixture, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Turn off oven, crack the door, and allow cake to cool in oven.
• In a saucepan, melt chocolate covered nougat candy bars with the cream. Pour over cooled cake.

MARS BAR TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 15cm (6in) shallow square tin.
• Cut the Mars bars into thin slices and put in pan with 75g of butter. Leave on low heat until melted, then beat till smooth.
• Stir in the rice crispies. Chill for an hour, (till set).
• Next put the chocolate and butter in a bowl and melt over hot water on a low heat and spread ontop.

• NB. The number of Mars Bars you use will affect the amount of muffins this mixture makes, so I've approximated the serving figures.
