Quick message to complete the buffet for fifty guests which wasn't complete without the dessert of course! You already know the brookies and Green tea cookies (prepared in a miniature version for the buffet: proportions multiplied by 2 to obtain 50 miniatures, but cooking time reduced by 2 minutes according to the format) but it is an opportunity to introduce you to one of the recipes of when I was a little girl: The Mars bars cake! This is a recipe I learned when I was in boarding school in England when I was 10 years old. It was one of the only recipes I could do and my mother could offer many other cakes, my brother and I would only want the Mars bars cake. I had not prepared one in a very long time not even because I had gotten tired of it, but because Rice Krispies were hard to find (there are a key element of the cake) in France. I brought some from London especially for the recipe and the taste of the cake was the same as in my memories: addictive! I think it can be prepared with crispy rice that you can easily find in organic food shops.
Before I let you discover the recipe for the Mars bars cake, here's a recap of the entire buffet for 50 people if you want to borrow ideas. You will find all the recipes by clicking on the link in each category:

Mars Bars and Rice Krispies Cake
Prep : 15mins
Cooling : 3hr
Serves 8 people
- 1 package of 5 Mars bars
- 125g butter
- 250g Rice Krispies (or any crispy rice)
In a saucepan, melt the butter and Mars bars cut into bits over low heat. Stir constantly until the pieces of Mars bars are completely melted (it can take at least 10 minutes).
Pour the melted mixture into a bowl and add the Rices Krispies slowly, stirring gently every time you add. All Rices Krispies must be coated with the mixture.
Pour into a baking dish and press down with a spoon to flatten the surface .
Put in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, until the mixture is still. Then cut into squares directly in the dish.
Super !!! Thank you for all these ideas !!! Want to redo recipes successfully tested and already forgotten (les brookies !!! a pure delight )
I love me too! I knew the name of Rice Krispies treats!
I also love it reminds me of my childhood, cakes family in Quebec
I always preferred the dessert and they make me want to nibble direct !

@ Sahteene: In the U.S. he call them Krispy treats and indeed they use chamalows
Can I ask you how much you have achieved your soups and glasses / savory bites ?
Thank you !
@Marie: Click on the title of the relevant classes, I detail for soups and appetizers for glasses and salt proportions that I used to make every time the parts 50 people. Bon buffet
J’ai testé le “gateau de mars” pour faire des bouchées pour un buffet! J’ai été un petit peu déçue de pas trouver le gout de chocolat au lait du mars, alors après avoir coupé mes petits cubes, je les ai trempé sur la moitié de la hauteur dans du chocolat noir fondu puis j’ai laissé resolidifier tout ça. Et c’est troooooop bon! Thank you, je referai sans doute, d’autant plus que c’est extrêmement facile à faire…
@Adrienne: J’aurais pas osé mais trempé dans du chocolat au lait ca doit être encore plus gourmand ;-)
