Mars bars: chop the mars bars into small pieces.
Fudge: add the chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter to a large heatproof container. Place it in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. Remove, stir then microwave on high for 1 further minute.
Combine: add the chopped mars bar pieces to the wet fudge and stir gently to cover in the fudge mixture.

Notes

Note 1 - Chocolate: cooking chocolate is always recommended over eating chocolate (Chocolate blocks, chocolate chips or chocolate melts will all work) . I used to shop at Aldi and they had 250 gram bags of chocolate chips. So I started using these when fudge making. They have now reduced the size of these bags to 200 grams. Plus I more often shop at Woolies. I have switched to using blocks of cooking chocolate (in place of either melts or chocolate chips) and have this changed to '400 grams or 2 blocks of chocolate'. I find minimal difference between the 400--500 grams. Also prefer to use '2 blocks' as opposed to 2 ½ blocks and have no immediate use for the other half a block.
Note 2 - Sweetened condensed milk: this is simply 1 can. I use a no name brand unless the more expensive brand is on special and find that it works very well.
Note 3 - Butter: unsalted is recommended. I chop this up a little before adding to the other ingredients.
Note 4 - Mars bars: I use a 12 pack of 'fun size' mini Mars bars. Then chop these into 4-6 pieces with a knife or kitchen scissors.
