Malteser Traybake Recipes

MALTESER TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Grease and line a 20x20cm or 32x22cm baking tin.
• Melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup together in a large heavy bottomed saucepan over a low heat.
• Once the mixture has melted and looks smooth, remove from the heat and leave for a minute or two (if the chocolate mixture is too hot, the Maltesers will melt) before tipping in the crushed biscuits and Maltesers, stirring well to combine.
• Pour the Malteser studded mixture into the lined tin. Smooth out with a rubber spatula and place in the fridge to firm up for one hour.
• Make the topping by melting the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Once the chocolate has melted and is smooth, remove from the heat. Remove the traybake from the fridge and pour over the melted chocolate, smoothing it out using a rubber spatula or spoon. Crush the 50g Maltesers and sprinkle over the chocolate. Return to the fridge once more for 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set hard. Cut into bars and enjoy!

MALTESER TRAY BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170C (340F). Line a 9x13inch rectangular cake pan with baking paper.
• Put the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, malted milk powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and stir together to combine.
• Add the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla.
• Start beating on the lowest speed setting until the ingredients start to come together.
• Increase the speed gradually, until the batter is completely smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
• Transfer the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35 -40 minutes.
• Check the cake is done by inserting a skewer in the centre - it should come out clean, the cake should be well risen golden and springy to the touch. Cool the cake on a wire rack before frosting.

MALTESER TIFFIN!

Steps:

• Line a 9×9″ square baking tray with parchment paper, leave to the side.
• Melt the golden syrup and butter gently in a pan on a low heat - when the butter and syrup have melted fully and started to bubble slightly, turn the heat off and add the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted.
• If it doesn't quite melt then turn the heat back on to a very low setting so that the chocolate doesn't split.
• Pour the digestives, maltesers, and raisins into a large bowl and pour the chocolate/syrup mix on top. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly until its all coated well. Pour into the tin and press down very firmly.
• In another bowl, melt together the next set of chocolate and pour on top of the tiffin. Sprinkle on a bag of maltesers, and crush a few over as well. Leave to set in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or a bit longer if it still feels too soft.
• Once set, carefully remove from the tin and cut into your pieces. I do 4×4 so I get 16 large pieces, or 5×5 for slightly smaller but still delicious sized pieces.
