Miss Lane's Malteser Slice

This went down a treat with my book group. It's a recipe that came from one of the teachers at school and it is amazing. Soft and fudgy yet crunchy with the biscuit and maltesers. It 's also a very versatile base recipe and you could substitute the maltesers for nuts, raisins, chocolate pieces or marshmallows and the digestives for chocolate chip cookies, which would make a lovely rocky road.

Miss Lane's Malteser Slices

110g butter
300g milk chocolate
300g dark chocolate
3 tbsp golden syrup
225g maltesers, halved
225g digestive biscuits, crushed

Grease and line a brownie or cake tin.

Melt 250g of the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a bowl over a pan of boiling water.

Take the bowl off the heat and add in the maltesers and digestive biscuits, mixing well to combine. Press it into the tin.

Melt the rest of the chocolate, 350g, and pour over the top smoothing out. Chill in the fridge and slice into squares when it is almost set.
