Description
A delicious and indulgent treat combining a biscuit base, homemade caramel, and a chocolate Malteser layer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 21 oz malted milk biscuits
- 8.8 oz unsalted butter (for biscuit base)
- 7 oz unsalted butter (for caramel)
- 3 tbsp caster sugar
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
- 14 oz condensed milk (one tin)
- 7 oz milk chocolate
- 7–14 oz Malteser spread
- 3.5–7 oz Maltesers
Instructions
- In a food processor, blitz the malted milk biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the biscuit crumbs until well combined.
- Press this mixture firmly into the base of a lined 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) square baking tin to form an even layer.
- Chill in the fridge while you prepare the caramel.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, caster sugar, and golden syrup together, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the condensed milk and bring to a gentle boil, stirring continuously for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns a golden color.
- Pour the caramel over the chilled biscuit base and spread it evenly.
- Allow it to cool and set at room temperature or in the fridge.
- Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in short bursts.
- Once melted, spread the Malteser spread over the cooled caramel layer, followed by the melted chocolate.
- Top with whole Maltesers, pressing them gently into the chocolate layer.
- Refrigerate the entire tray for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Once firm, cut into squares or bars and serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of Maltesers on top according to your preference.
