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.

    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

    Yummy and super easy!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I really like this recipe, but as another user pointed out, I does not yield 40 candies. I halved the recipe, because I did... not need 40 candies. I was disappointed that I was only able to get 14 candies out of a half recipe (this should have yielded 28 if I had done the whole measurements). I used a small cookie scoop to keep the candies sized evenly. The cups were no where near as full as the cups in the picture. I would recommend using foil wrappers. I used white paper (as this was all my trusty Wal-Mart store had in stock) and there were some grease looking stains on the paper cups. This was likely caused by the butter. Overall very tasty, and so easy I wouldn't mind doubling the recipe. I just wish the yield number was more accurate.Read more
