No Bake Snickers Crunch Bars

I melted the chocolate and butter and mixed with the rice krispies however it seemed like too much chocolate mixture... I ended up using 4 cups of cereal. I also left out the nuts (allergy) and I chose to forgo the choc chips on top... It did take a while for the mars bars to melt but overall this was a very easy and very delicious recipe... I have made it twice this week

I have never tried a Mars bar before. They looked a bit small to me,so I bought 5 of them and did not add the chopped nuts. These turned out well and were easy to make!
