I was listening to a radio program this morning and caught part of a
recipe.

The cook was saying something that sounded a lot like:

Break up the Mars bars, boil the cream and pour
it over. Stir until it melts then put in the fridge to
set."

Trouble is that was *all* I caught so I have *no* idea what she was
actually trying to describe/make.

Anyone heard of anything like this??

Looks very akin to the "mars cake": once you have melted your mars and mixed
it to the cream, just mix it with puff-rice (sp? It's dried flakey rice) and
let it refrigerate. After that it gets firm enough to slice it.
A very simple recipe for kids.

Yeah, maybe they're it. I googled it up in italian and I found a lot
of operations selling it to farmers as a base for cattle nourishment,
and I know some people who mix it with boxed dog food for theyr dogs,
and it's also used for many mainstream chocolate covered snack-bars,
here.
As far as I can understand it, it's probably steam cooked rice who's
been blown/dried via hot air flow or such; it's almost dry but when
you put it in some liquid it really drinks the liquid up, fattenin' up
a to a heavy size boiled rice grain. And it's cooked.
This mars bar and rice cake is usually served to children hereabouts,
therefore I haven't had a single bit since I was little-teen, but I'm
starting to think I could enjoy a little...
Gonna get some mars bar

Melted Mars Bars...sounds yummy to me! Makes me want to put a couple
in a bowl, nuke them, and then get a glass of ice cold milk and go to
town. That really sounds good!

One time I was going to make brownies and made the mistake of tasting
the batter. That was it. I just got a glass of milk and ate all the
batter up. Why wait to cook it? Then I had the frosting later.

Needless to say, I LOVE chocolate!
