Birthdays and special occasions would not be the same without a sweet treat like these being passed around. A simple but ever popular recipe that can be adapted with toppings of your choice. The pretzels add a salty crunch here and are a welcome addition!

Ingredients

Makes: 9-12 squares
Prep: 20 minutes, plus chilling

  • 4 Snickers bars
  • 2 x 41g tubes of Rolos
  • 150g unsalted butter
  • 125g Rice Krispies
  • 250g milk chocolate
  • 100g salted pretzels

Method

  1. Grease and line a 20cm square cake or baking tin with baking parchment.
  2. Put the Snickers bars, Rolos and butter in a bowl and place over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Gently stir until it is melted and sticky.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the Rice Krispies; mix until evenly combined. Tip into the prepared tin and press down firmly (I use a potato masher) to form a smooth and compacted layer. Place in the fridge to harden.
  4. Gently melt the milk chocolate in a clean bowl set over a pan of just simmering water, then pour evenly over the mixture in the tin. Scatter with the pretzels and return to the fridge for at least an hour before cutting into squares.
