Mars Bar Slice

[farfallina]

Yes JD, for a while I have enough corn flakes for breakfast Soon I will have even more because I will buy again also the kind that are needed for this recipe!! 

Jad, in fact remembered that you added pictures but I just couldn't remember how they were
Well, there is also another reason. Out of curiosity I've just checked Australian and Italian web sites of Coco Pops.
Even if they are all the products of Kellog's they are different!!
Thanks God the one you are using for this recipe exists also here
However you have 2 other different Coco Pops in Australia which don't exist here
And apparently in Italy there are 4 others which don't exist there
It's a bit confusing   
Same brand, same product line.. You'd expect that they would be the same wouldn't you? Instead they are not!

Well I made these yesterday - everybody LOVED them.  I must say these looked very tempting (pity they contain gluten).

Wow you did your research, well done! I knew there were different Coco Pops here in Australia but as you can tell from the box cover they are distinctly different from each other so I didn't think anyone would be confused about. What I didn't know is the variety you have there in Italy and how similar they are to each other! I understand the confusion now hehe.

If I said they were simply chocolate flavored Rice Bubbles by looking at them would that clarify it do you think? A quick Google search for images of Rice Bubbles tells me they are pretty much the same world wide yes?

Can see how confusing it is for you farfallina.  So, in the end, did you work out you need chocolate rice bubbles for this recipe although ordinary rice bubbles will work too. You obviously bought corn flakes - they can also be used to roll cookie dough in to give them a nice crunchy outer layer. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/2794/cornflake+cookies is a recipe for this. Easy for you to convert to the TMX.

Jad I believe its great if you note down also as chocolate flavored Rice Bubbles. It would explain a lot! 

JD great idea! I can use my cfs to make cookies!

Thank you both

Hi all, I made this yesterday and just used plain rice crispies as they're called in the UK...well atually they were the cheaper Aldi brand.

Came out absolutely lovely. I'm thinking about freezing some to smash up and then sprinkle on custard or icecream.

My collection of recipes keeps growing as I await the arrival of my TMX - I have made Mars Bar slice many times over the years!  How great it will be not to have to use the amount of effort required to mix through butter + mars bars.  I have always used Rice Bubbles, never thinking about Coco Pops until this point, however the Rice Bubbles have always been a hit.

Good work farfallina.  We normally don't have coco pops, but we had to make something like this for a friend.  Now MrsT is polishing off the left-overs for brekkie.
