Calories 1234kcal
INGREDIENTS
- 100 g (3.5 oz) Mars Bars
- 35 g (2.5 tablespoon) butter unsalted and softened
- 500 g (1 lb) butter unsalted and softened
- 395 g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
INSTRUCTIONS
- Chop Mars Bars into pieces.
- Add Mars Bars and 35g butter to a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted and combined.
- Transfer the melted mixture to a bowl. It’s fine if there are small nougat bits left. Let it cool to room temperature.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the 500g softened butter. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until pale and fluffy—about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add condensed milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Add cooled Mars Bar mixture. Beat until fully combined and silky smooth
- If the buttercream splits or curdles, don’t worry—just keep mixing on medium-high speed. It will come back together beautifully.
NOTES
- Use original Mars Bars for the best melt.
- Let the melted mix cool fully before adding.
- Keep mixing if it looks curdled—it will fix itself.
- Store in the fridge, bring back to room temp and re-whip before piping.
