Chocomalt Squares


The best thing about Fridge Cakes is how simple they are to make. It’s great for kids to try out and there's never any baking involved!

This recipe can be tweaked and messed about with according to the maker’s predilection. [ See how I threw that big word in there ;) ] So feel free to toss in some nuts or cashews if you’re feeling health conscious…but the taste in this case, revolves around the Maltesers.

Ingredients

100 g Butter
250 g Chocolate (Dairy Milk)
3 tbl spns Golden Syrup [I used Maple Syrup since it was ready at hand]
225 g Crushed Digestive Biscuits
225g Maltesers

Method

1. Melt the first three ingredients together. You can use a water bath so the chocolate does not burn as result of heat directly applied.

2. Add the crushed biscuits and maltesers (Use a rolling pin carefully to crush.)

3. Pour mixture in a tray (press down to slightly level it out) and place in Fridge to set.

4. Cut them up into squares!


Golden Syrup is made from sugar cane, while Maple Syrup is derived from the maple leaf and is somewhat sweeter. You may want to score the mixture prior to placing in the fridge, to make the cutting-up easier.
