Ingredients

  • 500 g milk chocolate (split 300g / 200g) (1.1lb)
  • 200 g unsalted butter (7oz)
  • ¼ cup golden syrup (60ml)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa
  • pinch of salt
  • 250 g malt biscuits / cookies (I use Arnotts malt o milk) (8.8oz)
  • 300 g Maltesers / Whoppers (10.5oz)

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8 inch or 9 inch square baking pan with baking paper.
  • Crush the biscuits to crumbs and tip them into a large mixing bowl. You can crush them in a plastic bag using a rolling pin or use a food processor or blender.
  • Roughly chop ¾ cup of the Maltesers and set them aside for the topping. Add the remaining whole Maltesers to the bowl with the crushed biscuits.
  • In a heavy-based saucepan over low-medium heat (no hotter), slowly melt together 300g (10.5oz) of milk chocolate and all the butter, golden syrup, cocoa and salt. Stir almost constantly.
  • Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes then pour it over the crumbs and Maltesers. Mix well to combine with a stiff spatula, then press it into the tin levelling out the top as you go.
  • Melt the remaining 200g of milk chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well between each until just melted. Don't overheat it.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the Malteser layer, then scatter over the reserved chopped Maltesers.
  • Chill for 4-6 hours or overnight until set, wrapped well with plastic wrap.

Notes

  1. You can swap half of the milk chocolate for dark / semi-sweet chocolate.
  2. While malt biscuits / cookies are best, you can use anything from digestive bisccuits to rich tea biscuits to graham crackers.
