Recipe: Malteaser Slices

Published on X-Media Online in Lifestyle: Food section.

For when you’re feeling naughty, this is an original alternative to refrigerator cake.

This tiffin recipe (courtesy of Sam Stern) is great for a special occasion or just when you want to spoil yourself!

I would advise you use margarine for this recipe as the slices are so rich even without butter and it makes no difference to the taste.

Ingredients:

100g margarine/butter

100g golden syrup

150g milk chocolate (Dairy Milk or Galaxy works well)

225g digestive biscuits

175g Malteasers

For the topping:

300g white chocolate (Milkybar works surprisingly well!)

Grated chocolate/crumbled Malteasers to decorate

Method:

1. Put 1cm of water in a saucepan and place a mixing bowl on top.

2. Melt butter, golden syrup, milk chocolate in the bowl on a very low heat – be careful not to boil! Stir continuously and when melted together, remove from heat.

3. Bash digestive biscuits with rolling pin/empty wine bottle to fine crumbs in a freezer bag – a clean plastic bag works ok too. Then bash Malteasers in the bag unopened a few times – but leave some whole!

4. Stir both digestive and Malteaser crumbs into chocolate mix.

5. Spread mix into a shallow tin, roughly 19cmx29cm.

6. Melt white chocolate using the same method as for the milk chocolate mixture. Stir constantly. When melted, spread over the base.

7. Sprinkle grated chocolate/crumbled Malteasers over the top to decorate. Cover with clingfilm and leave to chill in the fridge.

8. When hard, cut into slices and enjoy!
