Malteser Traybake Food

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!

• 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.

Steps:

• line a 8x8 square tin, or smaller, (your cake will be thicker thats all.)with cling, foil or baking parchment.
• Finely crush the biscuits.
• Place butter,syrup and chocolate in a pan and melt over a low heat, you may want to take it off the heat before the chocolate completely melts so the mixture doesn't get too hot for the maltesers later.
• Add the crushed biscuits and mix together well.
• Work quickly now and pour the mixture into the tin, smoothing out to make it an even thickness.
• Place the maltesers all over the top and press into the mix.
• Leave to cool before chilling and slicing.
• It also looks lovely if you drizzle melted white chocolate over the top.
