In the US, we have a chain of big box home decor stores called World Market, that also has a section of imported foodstuffs from around the world. You can usually find real Mars bars there (along with some of the interesting Japanese KitKats). I get tiny little gift-sized jars of Marmite there, too, because I use it up so slowly.
I also would be curious as to what is the difference between a Mars bar in the rest of the world and the Milky Way bar here in the United States when my understanding is that they're the same product
@@VeretenoVids Glenn didn't mention anything that Mars bars to the US (which were discontiued in 2002) were re-released as Snickers almond. I found that out on Wikipedia.
FKA - "Cost Plus" - good idea to change out the branding! LOL! Yes, World Market was where I had an Aerobar for the first time. I also once had this prepackaged mushroom ravioli from Europe that was on clearance for 99 cents and was incredibly tasty and is gone forever! LOL! If you life in Los Angeles, try finding a local, independent British import store and patronize those poor folks! They have all the candy and pillows with the Queen's living face on it.
Ahh this is an Australian classic! They used to sell this to us at school by the square, I rarely make it with the chocolate topping, they’re fine without. It’s a good way to stretch a couple of bars a long way
These eerily remind me of "Chocolate Crackles" but instead of being cut as slices, you'd distribute the mixture into mini cupcake liners, I think almost every childhood birthday party in eastern Australia had a bowl of these on the table
@@themidlandconnection crackles usually have copha (solidified coconut oil) and cocoa powder, the only real relation to these is that they’re made from Rice Bubbles…
...guys, how could something this good be wrong. I'm a "semi retired" chef working as a baker at a local college in FL. This looks to be the next big thing for the kids at work (if I can get my boss to buy the candy bars to make it). Love it!
These look like the Mars bar version of one of my favorite candy type things, that I've always known as Snickers squares. Cook up peanut butter, sugar, and golden syrup to a kind of peanut caramel situation, stir in cornflakes, top with melted chocolate. Ridiculously easy, utterly delicious, and, as you say, absolutely evil.
Yes, these were always a big hit when I took them to work bakesales. They have the added benefit of being gluten free, vegan and suitable for people with religious dietary restrictions so everyone apart from people with peanut allergy could enjoy them.
A few years ago I changed the way I eat (went full on ketogenic and kept to it like a monk for several years). Now that I’ve reached my goals and no longer CRAVE sugar with a white hot passion, I can appreciate a rare and “evil” indulgence. This would be high on my “just one, then back in the game” treats (not cheats, ‘cuz life is too short to shame ourselves over simple pleasures). REALLY enjoyed your momentarily stunned into silence reactions❤
My wife is a Toronto native she moved down to Pennsylvania with me. She introduced me to Coffee Crisps. They are amazing. For some reason they are unavailable in the U.S. I always stock up when we visit.
I looove Coffee Crisp bars, and I’m happy to report that I can find them at my local Publix supermarket in the British (?) section of the international aisle, next to the (Australian) Violet Crumble bars. So, I guess the British section is actually the Commonwealth section!
I know! I live in Detroit, which is literally one watery mile north of Canada, and I can’t get Coffee Crisps unless I go to one particular store and they cost $2.50 US each. It’s a crime and I don’t know why they aren’t so everywhere. They are terrific.
Mars Bar - invented in UK by an American by adaptation of the Milky Way bar invented by his father. FWIW - the king-size bar was a (too often) part of my student diet (alongside the king size cola)
Take a bag of Butterscotch Morsels, melt with 1/2 cup peanut butter, add 3 cups Rice Krispies, pour into 9x9 inch "baking dish", pat flat and wait for it to harden - same idea, less time and ingredients & if you are not as much into Chocolate, this is a great treat too! Recipe from the 50/60's I think ... just remade it last few weeks!
Glen is doing a candy bar version of the old "Who's on first" routine. 😆 These look SO good. I will keep this recipe for when I need a potluck dessert - they would be too dangerous to make just for myself!
Yes and to add confusion here in New Zealand we also have a moro bar which is exactly the same as a mars bar (why we have 2 of the same bar with different names idk) but in the uk what you'd call a moro bar we call a boost
1:51 Glen: confused? Me: I was already confused. I'm American and grew up not just in the US, but in the Middle East too. A lot of candy changed during my time going back and forth between countries in the early 00's, and I'm STILL ticked off that I can't get a mars bar or a bounty. Almond joy really isn't the same, it's too sweet 😭. I actually have a memory of being all excited with my candy stash from Halloween or something, opening the mars bar, and being udderly bewildered because it was so completely different from what I expected. I remember trying to explain it to my older brother and him telling me that they're different things in different countries. I almost wanted to cry, because it was my favorite candy bar at that point. I might still hold a little resentment over US mars bars....
Mars Bar Crispies. A favourite Scottish birthday party treat for many years and nowadays often served in cafes and tearooms. A nostalgia thing perhaps.
Glen, I worked for a retail grocery store here in the bay area and the store has the Mars bar in the international section to this day. Also it looked like cutting into it was a solid block of chocolate.
UK it's a classic as well, usually it's not in bar form but in cupcake cases. I also add halved Malteasers to it to give it extra crunch. We also don't get large bags of chocolate chips for cooking, we just use very large chocolate bars like a massive Dairy Milk and melt that down(its much better chocolate as well).
Hi Glen! Just made this after seeing your video. My Local grocery store were out of Mars-bars, so I opted them for a Swedish bar called Japp instead. - Will taste the result in a couple of hours or so. Btw, in Sweden it´s quite common to do a Snickers variety of this, but instead of chocolate bars you use a can of peanutbutter, sirup and castersugar, cornflakes instead of Rice Krispies. The result is very tasty, hard to stop eating.
@@philipgwyn8091 if he lives in Sweeden it's probably golden syrup. I live in Norway and we have similar foods in the stores as Sweeden. Corn syrup really is not a thing here. I have never seen it in a store and never tasted it. Maybe you can get stores that sell foreign foods to import corn syrup, but it probably would be more expensive than golden syrup. Maple syrup you can buy at regular food store, but it's very expensive.
"but instead of chocolate bars you use a can of peanutbutter, sirup and castersugar, cornflakes instead of Rice Krispies." And if my mom had tires she would have been a bike.
Just returned from a cruise trip that included a Canadian port. We promptly got off the boat, went to the nearest convenience shop and bought 4 Mars Bars. This is on the menu for our US Memorial Day celebration! Can't wait to try this - even the lady who checked us out knew of this treat and said it was a Christmas classic where she lives in BC 😊
Great video, this brings back the fondest of memories, as a tiny child making something very similar with my mother with Snickers and Rice Crispies.. and every Easter making "nests" which consisted of mixing Shredded Wheat with chocolate.
in the UK in the late 1970's and 80 these were the things to have! To make they even cheaper replace the butter in the base with Margarine ( Preferably contains partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, animal fats or for that true experience Hydrogenated de-odorized marine oils ) and chocolate flavoured cake covering for the top. For the cake covering think "prepared cheese product" compared to cheese and you have the right idea. I never had a whole mars bar to myself when i was a kid they were bought for this recipe! A mars bar could be used to give a family of 4 a treat!
I watched this video just before going grocery shopping. At the store, I walked past the Mars bars twice and resisted temptation. Now that I'm home, I'm wished I just bought them.
Thanks, I just thought I tasted something like that wir cornflakes…. And I had two adapted version since there are no real Rice Krispies available any more. So it was made either with chocolate ricekrispies or with chocolate rice bars, melted together without the extra chocolate layer on top..
I made the sugar free low carb version of this....I had a carrot. . Even when I was eating sugar I'd never have THIS much. Hugs to all Jim Oaxaca Mexico
almost guarrantee it was also in a womens weekly cook book at some stage as well. I must admit i'm more used to the version we normally make with copha and chocolate. using actual chocolate bars is a bit fancy for australia.
WOW!!! These look so delicious Glen and I'm making them today,, but I have to go to the store first. But I will be back...Thanks Glen for a delicious recipe...
Well I did make these. TWICE! Once with Milky Way Bars and the other with Mounds coconut bars. OMG I never loved Rice Krispies so much. I'm in the US by the way. Love your channel
I grew up with these, called Special K bars. Peanut butter and Rice Krispies or Kellogg's Special K cereal (hence the name), and chocolate chips mixed with butterscotch chips; which are a little less sweet and cut the chocolate, for the topping. We kids learned how to make them ourselves, because Mom usually only made them to take somewhere else.
I bet you're one of the demons that substitutes half the ingredients in a recipe for your own crap then leaves a review that the recipe turned out terrible.
I made this in work. It's better if you chop the mars bar just makes it faster to melt. Only a little different recipe. I am from the Scotland. Hope everyone has a wonder day.
Mars bars of my childhood in the US were different than the Mars bars you can get at World Market in the US. The old childhood bars were thinner and wider, made of nougat, 4 almonds on top of that then covered in milk chocolate. The Mars bars we can get at World Market and the Snickers Almond has a Carmel layer now. We can't get O-henry bars here any longer but we found them in Canada everywhere.
@Glen, A variation that I grew up with: 1C sugar + 1C Karo corn syrup just brought to a bubbly boil, then taken off the heat and mixed with 1C chunky peanut butter and folded in with 3C Rice Krispies and 3C Special K. Fills a 9x12 pan, topped with melted chocochips. A word of warning, though - one batch is never enough!
Made this today. Honestly, I personally like regular rice crispie treats far better. These taste almost exactly like a kit-kat bar to me. They are good, but not next-level for me over my long-time favorite (regular marshmallow rice crispie bars). I think next attempt would have to incorporate peanut butter and or marshmallows, or a different candy bar (used 4 USA Milky Ways). Not knocking your video though, I love you guys!
Oh man, I grew up getting these on special occasions. I'm not as fond of them any more - they tend to come out far too hard for me - but I do still love the "traditional" rice krispies square with added golden syrup.
It it fascinating to hear about the different brands in the US vs the rest of the world. Here in South Africa we often diverge from the rest of the world in weird ways too! While it is possible to find Mars Bars in SA, we also have a local version called a Bar One, made by Nestlé. It is far more popular and has variations like Bar One ice cream, ice cream sauce, cereal, etc.
I make these for any event that I'm having at home. The recipe came from Australian Weekly magazine and they are amazing. I've also made them for my sister in the States and used Milky Way Bars and they came out great.
It is very nice to finally know how your garage studio is positioned relative to cardinal directions finally! I don't know why those points intrigue or are so crucial to me, but something that maybe a few others found interesting also. I was really hoping you'd call it a chocolate bar, especially since this one is chocolate. But Toronto just is Canada's Sponge/Paper Towel, just used as an absorbent for all of the dirty things! :)
@@kenkiefer4686 You just need to know 2 to know all 4... it's this very basic thing. But for me & maybe you it absolutely makes a world of difference in even my subconscious in terms of comfort!
Just made these for tonight. We have an international grocery store not too far from us, and I was lucky to score four Mars bars the other day (six, actually, but two were sacrifices, shall we say). I've been hooked on Mars bars since my business trip to England back around 2000, and I'm looking forward to trying this tonight.
I'm in my sixties and really don't look at the candy bar section much anymore but I remember getting Milky Way bars here in Toronto. I'm not sure the last time I saw one but I know that we at least did have them at one point in time.
In Germany, long ago, Drei Musketiere (Three Musketeers) was a longish (about 20cm), chocolate covered, open work braided, chewy caramel stick and Twix was called Raider. Just wishing to add to the confusion.
That sounds a lot like something called a Marathon bar that i remember from when i was a child. I wonder if this is another case of an American candy bar being called by a different name in other parts of the world.
Reminds me a little bit of Snickersrutor (Snickers Squares). Basically syrup, sugar, cornflakes and a ton of peanut butter in a pan with dark chocolate settled on top.
Tray bakes, a staple of coffee mornings, birthday parties and supper stuff at kids camps here in the UK You could honestly do a whole series on them, very often there's no baking involved and the category refers to the inch deep baking tray that the mix is pressed into to set.
"That's evil ... in all the right ways." 🤣 Love it! I was pretty sure I was going to make this but that comment sold me. We have something very similar in Australia, although I think our version also added in marshmallows. Is that right, Aussies? Or am I getting confused with another Rice Bubbles melt'n'mix slice?
Awesome decadent recipe. Thanks for sharing! My mother always flattened the mix for rice crisp treats on wax paper. Much easier in my opinion vs a pan.
For further clarification, in the US there is 4 bars. The distinctions are if it's chocolate nougat or regular nougat, and does it have caramel: Charleston Chew: nougat w/o caramel Milky Way: nougat w/ caramel 3 Musketeers: Chocolate nougat w/o caramel Mars Bar: Chocolate nougat w/ caramel
I haven't had any of the candy bars you mentioned since I was a child, so, yes, I'm confused. But these look good! When I used to make marshmallow Rice Krispie squares, sometimes I would add melted chocolate chips to the melted butter and marshmallows, so I wonder if that is similar? OK, OK, this is making me hungry - for things I'm just not supposed to eat anymore! Yes, "evil!"
My mum has a recipe for these from an old Gary Rhodes cookbook from years ago! Exactly the same method, but I prefer to add a sprinkle of sea salt to the mix.
Another chocolate bar you can get in Canada but not in US. Coffee Crisp. There are others too. Aero and Crunchie. Gooooood. Never fear if you want to spend the money they are on Amazon. How bad is your sweet tooth? Oh yeah and McIntosh toffee which I swear has been changed for the worse since I rotted my teeth out on it as a kid. 😂
In Italy we usually put the mixture in a bundt pan and we rarely glaze it with the chocolate on top, once out of the pan. It's something more than often present at kids' parties.
Might be interesting with peanut butter chips instead of chocolate on top. Years ago, I came across an old cookbook in a used bookstore. There was a recipe for Milky Way Cake. It said to use four Milky Way Bars. I wondered how many Milky Way bars as the ounces then is different than now. I guessed and it came out tasting like a caramel cake (good), but the texture was dense.

Gonna have to try this. My family has a similarly evil rice krispie recipe. Make regular rice krispie treats, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top, then a thin layer of melted chocolate. I can eat a whole tray in 2 days if I'm very careful to eat it slowly.
I made this at Christmas for an event. I wanted individual servings so I plopped a spoonful of the mix into mini muffin liners and then drizzled the chocolate coating. A few chocolate sprinkles and a couple of candy eyes added to the top. I called them "Dirty Snowmen"

They are good, but not next-level for me over my long-time favorite (regular marshmallow rice crispie bars). I think next attempt would have to incorporate peanut butter and or marshmallows, or a different candy bar (used 4 USA Milky Ways). Not knocking your video though, I love you guys!
Made them today and have a blueberry orange shrub ready to try. We have tried many of your recipes. Beefaroni is a fav!
These are so good. Addictive. Made them many times in the past. Try not to make them unless for something extra special.
Oh man, I grew up getting these on special occasions. I'm not as fond of them any more - they tend to come out far too hard for me - but I do still love the "traditional" rice krispies square with added golden syrup.
Add the mars bars to traditional rk squares. Keeps this version soft ❤
Mmmm they look amazing
It it fascinating to hear about the different brands in the US vs the rest of the world. Here in South Africa we often diverge from the rest of the world in weird ways too! While it is possible to find Mars Bars in SA, we also have a local version called a Bar One, made by Nestlé. It is far more popular and has variations like Bar One ice cream, ice cream sauce, cereal, etc.
I make a Scotcharoo. It’s similar but used peanut butter, corn syrup and sugar. Melted butterscotch chips and semi sweet chips.
These have been a staple party food since the 90s (for me), not sure how long before then, but I still crave these. So delicious.
I make these for any event that I'm having at home. The recipe came from Australian Weekly magazine and they are amazing. I've also made them for my sister in the States and used Milky Way Bars and they came out great.
OMG I just made this...scary easy !!!
It is very nice to finally know how your garage studio is positioned relative to cardinal directions finally!
I don't know why those points intrigue or are so crucial to me, but something that maybe a few others found interesting also.
I was really hoping you'd call it a chocolate bar, especially since this one is chocolate. But Toronto just is Canada's Sponge/Paper Towel, just used as an absorbent for all of the dirty things! :)
This reminds me that I feel lost in an unfamiliar city, unless I know my compass directions
@@kenkiefer4686 You just need to know 2 to know all 4... it's this very basic thing. But for me & maybe you it absolutely makes a world of difference in even my subconscious in terms of comfort!
These are delicious.
I love Glen cuz he love Mars Bar as much as I do. Bro knows the history and the ingredients on all nostalgic products! Bruhhhh!!!
Just made these for tonight. We have an international grocery store not too far from us, and I was lucky to score four Mars bars the other day (six, actually, but two were sacrifices, shall we say). I've been hooked on Mars bars since my business trip to England back around 2000, and I'm looking forward to trying this tonight.
You should try making them with Cocoa Krispies!!
Love the video especially
From 0:39 to 1:55
Watching this made me smile so much. And the American names for things is amusing too.
I'm in my sixties and really don't look at the candy bar section much anymore but I remember getting Milky Way bars here in Toronto. I'm not sure the last time I saw one but I know that we at least did have them at one point in time.
Making this tomorrow.
In Germany, long ago, Drei Musketiere (Three Musketeers) was a longish (about 20cm), chocolate covered, open work braided, chewy caramel stick and Twix was called Raider. Just wishing to add to the confusion.
That sounds a lot like something called a Marathon bar that i remember from when i was a child. I wonder if this is another case of an American candy bar being called by a different name in other parts of the world.
@@davidkonstam2377 in Britain Snickers used to be called Marathon bars.
Your Three Musketeers sounds very much like what was called Wigwag in Canada.
❤ Glen’s yummy dance !! That’s when you know it must be good !!
Reminds me a little bit of Snickersrutor (Snickers Squares). Basically syrup, sugar, cornflakes and a ton of peanut butter in a pan with dark chocolate settled on top.
Tray bakes, a staple of coffee mornings, birthday parties and supper stuff at kids camps here in the UK
You could honestly do a whole series on them, very often there's no baking involved and the category refers to the inch deep baking tray that the mix is pressed into to set.
"That's evil ... in all the right ways." 🤣
Love it! I was pretty sure I was going to make this but that comment sold me.
We have something very similar in Australia, although I think our version also added in marshmallows. Is that right, Aussies? Or am I getting confused with another Rice Bubbles melt'n'mix slice?
Awesome decadent recipe. Thanks for sharing!
My mother always flattened the mix for rice crisp treats on wax paper. Much easier in my opinion vs a pan.
For further clarification, in the US there is 4 bars. The distinctions are if it's chocolate nougat or regular nougat, and does it have caramel:
Charleston Chew: nougat w/o caramel
Milky Way: nougat w/ caramel
3 Musketeers: Chocolate nougat w/o caramel
Mars Bar: Chocolate nougat w/ caramel
Beautiful
I've recently seen people roasting their rice krispies to get a little color on them. i bet that adds a lot.
I haven't had any of the candy bars you mentioned since I was a child, so, yes, I'm confused. But these look good! When I used to make marshmallow Rice Krispie squares, sometimes I would add melted chocolate chips to the melted butter and marshmallows, so I wonder if that is similar? OK, OK, this is making me hungry - for things I'm just not supposed to eat anymore! Yes, "evil!"
I'm wondering what size candy bar is in the recipe? This sounds good.
My mum has a recipe for these from an old Gary Rhodes cookbook from years ago! Exactly the same method, but I prefer to add a sprinkle of sea salt to the mix.
Rest in peace Gary 💫
Another chocolate bar you can get in Canada but not in US. Coffee Crisp. There are others too. Aero and Crunchie. Gooooood. Never fear if you want to spend the money they are on Amazon. How bad is your sweet tooth? Oh yeah and McIntosh toffee which I swear has been changed for the worse since I rotted my teeth out on it as a kid. 😂
You can make it "healthy" by adding fruit and nuts! Dried fruit and crushed nuts, added with the rice crispies, add texture and variety in taste.
In Italy we usually put the mixture in a bundt pan and we rarely glaze it with the chocolate on top, once out of the pan. It's something more than often present at kids' parties.
My favourite treat as a kid
Might be interesting with peanut butter chips instead of chocolate on top. Years ago, I came across an old cookbook in a used bookstore. There was a recipe for Milky Way Cake. It said to use four Milky Way Bars. I wondered how many Milky Way bars as the ounces then is different than now. I guessed and it came out tasting like a caramel cake (good), but the texture was dense.
Gonna have to try this. My family has a similarly evil rice krispie recipe. Make regular rice krispie treats, spread a thin layer of peanut butter on top, then a thin layer of melted chocolate. I can eat a whole tray in 2 days if I'm very careful to eat it slowly.
I'm totally making this! 😮 what if you live in Canada but want to make this with three musketeers bar? I wonder how similar it would taste?
I need Glen to make the old-timey Scotcheroos to see how he likes them! So darn good.
I made this at Christmas for an event. I wanted individual servings so I plopped a spoonful of the mix into mini muffin liners and then drizzled the chocolate coating. A few chocolate sprinkles and a couple of candy eyes added to the top. I called them "Dirty Snowmen"
WoW Iive got un used rice bubbles i will make these tomorrow Nice
