These were just ok. In my opinion, they did not live up to the 5 star reviews I read and doubt I will make again. Too bad because I LOVE Milk Way bars....

Yummy, easy, & quick! I picked this for my husband to make and he was able to easily. Was a hit at potluck and next day at work. Bars are pretty rich in their sweetness, like a candy bar is. So don't expect to chomp them down like you would a normal rice crispy treat. But has that great crunchy and chewy texture. With yummy Milky Way flavor!

I have made this recipe several times since I needed a "no-bake" cookie recipe to make for my daughter's kindergarten class. This recipe was a HUGE hit with both kids and teachers! I used 5 bars instead of 4 because I was letting the kids break them and thought some might get eaten--none did, but 5 bars was extra good! I don't have an 11x7 pan so I used a 2.5 qt casserole. We stuck it in the fridge about 15 minutes. Yummy!

These did not turn out how I had hoped. The rice crispy part turned out ok, but I had modified that part of the recipie because I didn't buy chocolate nugat bars (I bought chocolate bars with caramel inside). I mixed the bars with the traditional rice crispy recipie with the marshmellows. The topping is what I was dissapointed with. The chocolate was way too thick. I think milk added to the recipe would have made them turn out like in the picture. This also may have been due to using generic chocolate chips, though. They still tasted ok though.

I followed the recipe exactly, using Milky Way candy bars. I couldn't get the candy bars and butter to mix together while melting. I finally used my hand mixer. The recipe says to use a 7X11 pan and cut into 32 pieces, which yields a serving size of 1.375 x 1.75. (This is was important to me because of the carb count.) The chocolate topping was too thick. Topping that thick should be actual frosting, or much thinner, maybe drizzled (IMHO). Then, for anyone concerned about peanut allergies, don't make these with Milky Way. The label Milky Way label says 'may contain peanuts' not the more general 'made in a facility'. I probably won't make these again given how much everyone likes the traditional recipe anyway, the carb count, and the peanut allergy, but would not discourage anyone else from trying the recipe as those are all very personal reasons.

These are awesome and are a great change from the traditional Rice Krispie bars with the marshmallows.

As is, this recipe is a four. How can one go wrong with mars bars? However I make a slightly different version, which I find is a five star square. I use 3 mars bars (I buy the four pack and usually end up eating one), about 1.5 cups of minimarshmallows, maybe a little less if I don't have quite enough, 1/4 cup butter. I melt this mix on the stove over low/med heat, stirring constantly, and add 4.5 or 5 cups of rice crispies. If I feel like a richer bar, I use less cereal. If I want to stretch the batch, I use a bit more. After I press the mixture into a pan (8x8 if I want thick bars) I do not put them in the fridge or melt chocolate on the top. The chocolate is unnecessary and I find it takes away from the caramel flavour. I make these squares a lot and they always get eaten. Again, how can one go wrong with mars bars???

I really didn't care for these. My husband didn't like them either. Too much chocolate. I thought the Milky Way flavor was out of place with a rice crispy type recipe. I like the plain Rice Crispy Treats, or you could add a layer of milk chocolate on top as is commonly done. This was just too much for us.

This recipe is in a British cookbook from about 10 years ago, except it uses around half the butter used here. Anyway I made the cookbook version on the weekend - very nice although still a little too buttery! Definitely cut down on it.

I think these would be a five star if it didn't taste like so much like butter. I will make them again and add less butter to see if makes a difference.

The flavor was very rich, but the crispies turned soggy due to so much butter.

I made these for my nieces and nephews for christmas. It does seem like there is a little too much butter, but I don't think you could reduce it by much. I added a little extra rice crispies. The flavor is very good and different.

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but this is a really common treat in Australia - they call it Mars Bar Slice. Instead of chocolate chips, using Cadbury milk chocolate bars is much better topping (nicer consistency and taste). I also prefer to serve these at room temperature so they aren't so hard. Very sweet, but like a giant candy bar.

These are pretty tasty, but there is too much butter. This is a good treat for kids, but adults might not like the flavor too much as these bars are extremely sweet
