12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies - Mars Bar Squares



A couple years ago my Mom, sisters and I started getting together and doing our Christmas baking. We spent hours scouring the internet for yummy and original cookies and squares. One of my favorite squares is Mars Bar Squares and for some reason I only make them at Christmas time. They are so delicious that I really need to make them more often. These squares are ridiculously easy to make and are really heaven in your mouth. They just melt and are the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy. My other favorite holiday treat is Baileys and as you can see from my picture in my mind mars bar squares and Baileys are the perfect combination. Enjoy!

Ingredients
4 Mars bars
1/2 cup butter or margarine
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

Topping

1/4 cup butter or margarine

  6. Yum, I'm always looking for new ways to dress up ordinary rice krispie treats and these sound perfect. Do you think these would work with other candy bars too like Snickers? By the way, I'm holding a giveaway on my blog for Orglamix Organic Makeup and you're welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/12/orglamix-organic-mineral-makeup-review.html
