I made these with choc rich tea biscuits, mars, marshmallows and maltesers, they were a big hit although I made the mistake of adding everything to chocolate when it was still hot and the marshmallows and mars melted. They were still yummy and very popular with teenage sons and their friends. All that butter and chocolate - heart attack in a bar - but they were worth it.

Have made this twice-first time used 85% dark chocolate with marshmallows, Turkish delight, rich T biscuits and chocolate M+Ms. Next time used 74% dark choc and swapped M+Ms for Smarties. Better second time-think it was the chocolate. Next time using maltesers as it needs a crunch alongside marshmallows and turkish delight. So good though!!
Made these twice now, second batch I've jut made for a friends Christmas hamper, so simple to make for great results, look good presented in clear cake bags tied up with a bit of curled ribbon. Used a bag of malteasers, pink and white marshmallows and a snickers bar. Left in the fridge for about an hour and a half max, any longer and you need a chain saw to cut it up! Great tasting, doesn't ever last long!
