Questions about Mars candy bar
What is inside a Mars bar?
A standard Mars bar combines nougat and caramel, covered in milk chocolate. The nougat gives it a soft, chewy centre, while the caramel makes it sticky and sweet.
Can you freeze a Mars bar?
Yes. Wrap it well and freeze it; let it stand for a few minutes before eating so it is easier to bite. Chopped frozen pieces also work as a crunchy topping for ice cream.
How should you store a Mars bar?
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strong smells. Heat can soften the chocolate and make it bloom with pale marks, though that does not necessarily mean it has spoiled.
How can you melt a Mars bar for baking?
Chop it and warm it gently in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, stirring often; take care not to let water or steam get into the chocolate. For a quick topping, microwave in short bursts, stirring between each.
What can you make with a Mars bar?
Chop it into brownies, cookies or a milkshake, or melt it with a little cream for a quick sauce over ice cream. In a Mars bar cake, pieces are folded into the batter or used between layers.
Is a Mars bar the same as a Milky Way bar?
The names differ by market, but a Mars bar is generally the chocolate-coated nougat-and-caramel bar. In the UK, a Milky Way bar has a lighter whipped nougat centre and no caramel; the US Milky Way is closer to a Mars bar.
Can dogs eat a Mars bar?
No. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs, and the bar also contains a large amount of sugar. If a dog eats any, contact a vet promptly and tell them the dog's size and how much was eaten.
