Instructions
Melt 100g of the butter (that’s all but 1 tablespoon)
Blitz the cookies to crumbs in a food processor. Add the melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and blitz until fully combined.
Press into the base of a baking paper lined 8x8 inch square tin. Chill in the fridge.
Combine the unwrapped caramels and ¼ cup cream in a saucepan and heat over low, stirring until fully melted together. Mix in the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Pour the caramel over the cookie base. Place back in the fridge.
Over medium heat, use the same saucepan to heat the remaining ¼ cup of cream and the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Swirl and stir regularly, until it’s combined and starts to bubble.
Place the finely chopped chocolate in a bowl and pour the hot cream over the top. Give it a little shake to settle the chocolate into the hot cream. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then stir to a smooth ganache. If the chocolate is not all melting, just zap it in the microwave for 10 seconds (using a microwave safe bowl).
Press the Maltesers into the caramel layer, then drizzle the ganache all over. It doesn't spread easily to drizzle it all over then just nudge it here and there between the Maltesers.
Let it set for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares and serving. Best served from the fridge.
Notes
Biscuits / cookies: I use Arnotts Granita. Digestives like these are great. Graham crackers also work great and Arnott's Malt-o-milk are also good.
Maltesers: These are chocolate covered malt balls. Whoppers are an equivalent.
Caramel Malteser Slice should be kept in the fridge.
