I ran across this recipe a couple of months ago and thought it was worth a try, and boy was I right. These are very fast and easy to make, only 10 minutes at most and they never fail.

Mars Bars Squares

4 Mars bars

1/2 cup of butter

3 cups rice crispies

Cut the bars into a few pieces (I do 4) place in a microwaveable bowl with the 1/2 cup of butter and melt for 2 minutes on high. Every microwave is different so you might want to check after one minute. Stir until the mixture is smooth, add the rice crispies and pour into a 9x9 baking dish. I use parchment paper in the pan because I take them out of the dish to cut them, but you could just grease the pan or use plastic wrap, then just chill until firm. If you want extra goodness you can melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with a 1/4 cup butter and spread on top before you chill. Cut into squares and enjoy, if you really like them you might want to hide some for yourself (I do) before they are all gone. Enjoy!!!!

First off, anyone who knows me knows I'm very nervous about eggs. When I decide to bake, like today for instance, I always check to see how fresh the eggs are. Today I'm baking banana bread from a cake mix using 1 butter pecan cake mix, 3 eggs, 3 mashed bananas and 1/2 cup melted butter, I also added 2/3 c of chopped pecans, 1 tsp of cornstarch and 1 tbs of vinegar (because I always add vinegar when I bake a cake).

Anyway back to the egg checking, what I do is float eggs in water. If the egg lays down on its side its fresh, if it stands up then it's on it's way out and if it floats that's not good, toss it out. The decision is yours, for me it's one of my "things" (and I have LOTS of things) so I would prefer to use a lazy egg!!!!

EDIT: Oooops!!!!!!! I forgot that the oven temperature is 350 and bake for about 45 minutes. I always start testing when I see a crack in the top of the cake.
