Malted Milk Squares Food

MALTED MILK FUDGE

Steps:

• Grease a 9-by-13-inch pan lightly with cooking spray and then line it with parchment so that the paper hangs over all the sides (this will allow you to remove the fudge from the pan).
• Combine the sugar, butter, cream, vanilla and salt in a large saucepot over high heat. Bring to a boil and then cook until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the milk chocolate and white chocolate chips, marshmallow cream and malted milk powder. With the speed set to low, slowly pour in the boiling sugar mixture and paddle until well combined.
• Pour the fudge into the prepared pan; tap the pan to even out the fudge. Evenly sprinkle the broken malted milk balls over the top of the fudge and lightly press them down into the fudge.
• Chill the fudge until completely cooled, about 3 hours. Remove the fudge from the pan and cut it into squares.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream. Store any remaining fudge in an airtight container.

EASTER BLONDIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4, butter a 20 x 20cm brownie tin and line the base with parchment. Mix the melted butter with the sugar, beating until smooth, then beat in the eggs. Add the malted milk powder, flour and baking powder, stir to just combine, then fold in the Maltesers. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 mins until cooked around the outside but still wobbly in the middle.
• Resist the temptation to eat the blondies straight away and put the tin in the fridge to set for 2 hrs. Once set, top with the bunnies, drizzle over the melted white chocolate (if using) and cut into 12 squares.
