This deliciously crispy Thermomix Mars Bar Slice is made from only five ingredients and takes ten minutes to prepare. There is no baking involved, and it makes the perfect chocolatey, crunchy and sinful snack.
We love a no bake treat here - there's no watching the oven and there's less risk of baking failures. This is an excellent recipe for children's birthday parties and special occasions. You can make it in advance, as it lasts up to a week in the fridge or three months in the freezer. It's an Australian classic recipe, just like these Thermomix Anzac Biscuits.

Ingredients
Note: The full ingredients and quantities are shown in the recipe card below.
Mars Bars - use the 47g Mars Bars if you can find them. If not, any size Mars Bars will do as long as the total weight is 190g.
Rice Bubbles - called Rice Krispies, in the UK.
Butter - use unsalted.
Milk chocolate - use baking chocolate melts. Excellent quality brands are Cadburys or Nestle. I don't recommend home-brand baking chocolate for this recipe, as the taste is not good. Also, it's important not to use normal milk chocolate, as it won't set properly.
Vegetable oil - add a little to the melted chocolate to prevent the topping from cracking.
Step by Step Instructions
Note: This is a summary of the instructions. The full ingredients and instructions are shown in the recipe card below.
For the Crispy Base
Step 1. Line a 20cm (8") square tin with baking paper and set aside.
Step 2. Slice the Mars Bars into 2cm pieces and add them to the Thermomix bowl, then add the butter and pinch of salt.
Step 3. Melt for 5 minutes until the Mars Bars melt. Scrape down the bowl and stir the mixture with a spatula. If the Mars Bars don't melt completely, that's okay.
Steps 4-5. Add the Rice Bubbles to the mixture and stir on reverse speed for 20 seconds. Give the mixture a good stir to incorporate any stray Rice Bubbles.
Step 6. Tip the mixture into the tin, press down firmly and evenly with the back of a spoon - don't forget the corners! Place in the fridge to set whilst you make the chocolate topping.
For The Chocolate Topping
Step 1. Grate and melt the chocolate in a clean Thermomix bowl.
Step 1. Pour the chocolate over the crackles, level with a spoon, and put it in the fridge for 2-3 hours or overnight.
Top Tip: Make hot chocolate with the leftover chocolate in the Thermomix bowl! Simply add milk and heat it for 3-4 minutes, then mix for 30 seconds on speed 9, so it's frothy.
Serving Suggestions
Take the Mars Bar Slice out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving. Cut into squares or slices with a warm knife.
