It is one of my absolute favorites hands down. I simply cannot pass up an occasion without making these ooey goosey not to mention super easy, 4 ingredient Mars bar squares.

Yes, this recipe uses only 4 simple ingredients! The gooey mars bars combined with the rice crisps and chocolate ganache topping is simply divine. Not to mention they are a no bake cookie that’s kid friendly with supervision for sure.

Perfect for the holidays, birthday parties, Easter, get togethers or anytime you need that sweet little treat. One never needs an occasion to eat something sweet in my opinion.

I recall the first time I had these yummy little treats. We were not long home from our journey up North and we had all gathered at a friends house for a night of Pictionary and fancy snacks. Our friend Tina had made these, she’s an amazing baker herself. They were so good in fact, I had to have the recipe and make them for myself.

If you’ve never heard of Mars Bars they have been around for many years and are packaged as seen below:

Ingredients:

• 5 Mars Bars
• 1/2 cup real butter

For the topping:
