Ingredients

  • 4 (2-ounce) chocolate candy bars (recommended: Mars Bars or Milky Way)
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups crunchy sweetened corn cereal (recommended: Cornflakes)
  • Special equipment: approximately 40 mini muffin papers

Directions

Break the candy bars into bits and drop them into a saucepan. Add the butter and melt, over lowish heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula. When everything is melted (the nougat-like layer takes the longest to go), tip in the cereal and turn them, with your rubber spatula, in the chocolate mixture until they are all pretty well coated.

Fill the mini muffin papers with the mixture and put in the refrigerator, on a small sheet pan or tray, for at least 1 hour.

    excellent to eat, and easy to make

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    These were the easiest no bake "cookies" ever, and they're delicious. I used snicker bars, and rice crispies. I miss read the... recipe, and bought the wrong cereal when i was at the store. I think the rice crispies may have solved the problem that others were having with them being to hard. I could eat mine right out of the fridge, and they didnt hurt my teeth. I would suggest this to any one who likes chocolate.Read more

    Super Yummy Easy Treats!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I make these yummy chocolate treats with a combination of candy bars (what was recommended and a king sized snickers). They... turned out great! I can see that they may get a little hard - so I will bring them out of the fridge a little while before I serve them. I am so pleased with the result. Next I am going to try the Milky Way Dark.

    Crunchy, Sweet and easy

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I used 2 8-packs of fun size Milky Way's (4.62 oz ea.), 5 tblsp unsalted butter, 3 cups of Frosted Flakes, and added 8 large... marshmallows. Used a make shift double boiler (SS Pot with side pour spouts for steam venting, topped with SS Mixing Bowl). Melted everthing down slowly, removed whole assembly from heat while stirring in flakes, keeps mix warm sitting over pot of hot water. I used large cupcake cups and still made 30, some large, some small. Mini-muffing should give the yied no problem. Chilled in refrigerator and removed to ari tight container. Just like a Milky Way kept in the frigde they will be hard, so remove like you would do a candy bar unless you prefer that hard texture. One other thing, poured the pot of hot water into the mixing bowl and stirred with spatula, this melted everything and made really easy cleanup. All done and clean in less than 45 minutes. Read more

    Unpredictable results.....

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I have made these little desserts on several occasions and they are always a hit with guests. I think it?s the overall... flavor that gets people; they taste like crunch little candybar bites. Unfortunately, they sometimes end up having the consistency of concrete; they are hard as rocks! I can never predict if they will be crunchy (like they?re supposed to be) or like concrete balls. This doesn?t typically stop my guests from gobbling them up, but if they turn out hard, I can barely eat one for fear of chipping a tooth! I may try making them with just chocolate bars and then drizzling caramel topping over them after they are finished setting....Good Luck...Read more

    Ouch.

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I made these for a family party, and just when I was getting ready to serve them I tried one, and they were hard as a rock. I... followed every instruction as said, and they were so hard I couldn't bite into them. I think it might have been because of the caramel in the candy bars. I'm not sure.Read more
