I've not tried something like this. Maybe adding a little gelatine would
work. I'd have to experiment but I'd try something like:
- melt the bars
- put the bowl in an ice bath and keep mixing it
- Once it is cool add a small amount of gelatine
- Keep mixing it until gelatine is fully incorporated
Maybe if you post the ingredient for a Mars bar it might help.
