Malteser Squares

I'm literally drooling.

This is classic weekend treat food. Gearing up to Christmas, there's always bags of Maltesers around, and this is my favourite way to eat them.

Also, who doesn't love a simple traybake? This is everything you could ever wants in life - it's chocolate on chocolate, with bits of chocolate stuffed inside. It's crunchy and sweet and just lovely. There's basically no cooking involved apart from melting stuff, so it's also great to make with kids.

So many mini-bags of maltesers went into this delicious traybake. A few went in my mouth..

And, remember, it's practically Christmas, so this ridiculous sugar-fest is completely appropriate for the season. It's incredibly rich, so I honestly would make the slices quite small. And that's coming from me, a complete sugar-addict. WORTH IT.

Ingredients

• 150g chocolate
• 150g butter
• 4 tbsp golden syrup
• 300g digestive biscuits
• 160g maltesers
• 200g white chocolate
• A handful of chocolate chips
• Edible glitter, optional (kind of)

Method

Melt the butter, chocolate and syrup together until you have a smooth mixture. Remove from the heat and let cool down a little.

Bash the biscuits with a rolling pin until they are mainly crushed with some larger pieces for a little crunch. Add most of the maltesers (reserve about a dozen).

Still taking photos on my phone, which is obvious.

Pour over the chocolatey mixture and mix well.

Press into a tin and refrigerate for approx 30 minutes.

Melt the white chocolate carefully in the microwave. Pour over the chilled base and sprinkle some chocolate chips. Bash the reserved maltesers into pieces and scatter those on top. Finish with some edible glitter.

Chill in the fridge for another 30 minutes until set, then slice up!
