No-Bake Malteser Traybake Recipe
A distinguished culinary classic crafted with authentic techniques and finest ingredients, offering rich depth of flavour and elegant presentation.
Ingredients
- • 225g malted milk biscuits (or 2 ¼ cups crushed biscuits)
- • 200g milk chocolate (1 cup + 2 tbsp)
- • 125g Maltesers (1 2/3 cups)
- • 160g butter (1/2 cup + 3 tbsp)
- • 3 tbsp golden syrup
- • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- • 300g white chocolate (or milk chocolate if preferred) (1 ¾ cups)
- • 100g Maltesers (some roughly chopped if desired) (1 1/3 cups)
Preparation Steps
Grease and line a 20cm square tin.
Add the biscuits to the bowl of a food processor and blitz until broken down into fine crumbs. You can also put them in a zip lock bag and bash them with a rolling pin.
Add the butter, cocoa powder, golden syrup and milk chocolate to a saucepan and melt together over a low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Add the crushed biscuits to the pan and stir together until completely combined.
Add the Maltesers and stir again.
Transfer the mixture to your prepared tin and smooth down into an even layer with the back of a spoon.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30 second bursts.
Pour the white chocolate all over the top of the traybake mixture, spreading it right up to the edges in an even layer.
Scatter the Maltesers all over the top of the white chocolate.
Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set. If desired, you can let it come back to room temperature before slicing to prevent the chocolate topping from cracking.
Slice into 16 squares and store at room temp in an airtight container.
