Cuisine: Australian
Serves: 16 slices
Ingredients
- 250g crushed biscuits
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 200g Maltesers, roughly chopped
- 200g milk chocolate, melted (for topping)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your workspace. Gather all the ingredients: 250g of crushed biscuits, 100g of unsalted butter (melted), 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 200g of roughly chopped Maltesers, and 200g of melted milk chocolate for topping.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the biscuits are evenly coated with the butter.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the biscuit mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and a sticky mixture forms.
- Gently fold in the chopped Maltesers into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Line a square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with baking paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Transfer the biscuit and Malteser mixture into the lined baking dish. Press it down firmly with the back of a spatula or your hands to create an even layer.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the base to firm up slightly.
- While the base is chilling, melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
- Once the base has firmed up, pour the melted milk chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- For a decorative touch, you can add a few extra chopped Maltesers on top of the melted chocolate before it sets.
- Return the baking dish to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Once set, remove the slice from the baking dish using the overhanging baking paper. Cut into 16 equal slices using a sharp knife.
- Serve the Maltesers No Bake Slice chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious treat!
