10 Minute Malteser Slice O' Crack
An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella
-
500g/1 pound milk chocolate (you can also use dark chocolate but for the true Malteser flavour, milk chocolate is best)
-
1 cup Horlicks
-
1 cup milk powder (skim or full cream will do)
-
2x 65g boxes of Maltesers
You will also need a 21x21cm square tin
Step 1 - Line the baking tin with parchment on the base and the sides. In the interests of keeping this under 10 minutes, melt the chocolate in a microwave proof bowl in the microwave on 50% heat for 60 seconds at a time stirring between each time. In the meantime, in another bowl, stir the Horlicks and milk powder together. Also, open one of the packets of Maltesers and slice them in half, leave the Maltesers in the other box as whole.
Step 2 - Pour the chocolate into the dry Horlicks milk mixture (or vice versa) and stir with a silicon spatula-it will come together almost like a paste. Then add the whole Maltesers and stir well. Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth over with an angled spatula or the silicon spatula. Top the slice with the halved Maltesers, some cut side facing up some chocolate side facing up. Place in the fridge to set hard and slice into pieces. It sets hard and is a great slice for transporting, should you have any to in lieu of eating this all in front of the telly.
