MALTESER TRAY BAKE

Steps:

• Line a 20cm x 20 cm (8" x 8") square tin with baking paper.
• Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs - either in a food processor or with the end of a rolling pin - and place in a medium size mixing bowl.
• Roughly chop the Maltesers, leaving some larger chunks, and put them in the bowl with the biscuit crumbs.
• In a small sauce pan over a low heat, place the butter, cocoa, golden syrup, 50g milk chocolate and 50g dark chocolate and heat, stirring, until the butter and chocolate have melted.
• Leave the chocolate mix to cool for a couple of minutes, then pour over the Maltesers and biscuit crumbs.
• Mix well until all the biscuit crumbs are coated in the chocolate mixture.
• Pour into the prepared tin and smooth out, pressing down with the back of a spoon.
• Melt the remaining 50g milk chocolate and 75g dark chocolate, either in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water.
• Once melted, pour over the chocolate Maltesers biscuit base, and spread out to cover the slice.
• Sprinkle over the roughly chopped Maltesers and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to set.
• Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cut it. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut into 16 pieces.
• Store in an container in the fridge.

MALTESER TIFFIN

Steps:

• Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment.
• Place the 200g of chocolate, butter and syrup in a heat-proof bowl and melt over a pan of barely simmering water or in the microwave. Once almost melted, remove from the heat and gently stir until any tiny bits chocolate have melted. Allow to cool a little.
• Place the biscuits and 35g of the Maltesers in a freezer bag, seal and crush with a rolling pin. You want mainly crumbs but a few small chunks of biscuit is fine.
• Top the crushed mixture and whole Maltesers (save 1 or 2 for yourself) to the melted chocolate and stir until everything is coated. Press into the prepared tin and make the topping.
• For the topping, melt the chocolate, butter and syrup as before and spread over the biscuit base.
• Cover the tin with cling film or foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cutting into squares.
