Malteaser Buns

Name: Malteaser Buns
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 65 min
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients: 400 g Digestive biscuits; 200-250 g Maltesers; 115 g Butter; 135 g Golden syrup; 250 g Milk chocolate; 50 g White chocolate

One thing we won't be beaten on in this wee country is our traybake's and the malteser bun is an absolute classic. So simple to make but absolutely delicious. You have the buttery, sweet and almost salty biscuit base crammed full of maltesers. Then a good aul thick layer of chocolate to top it off. I could eat these to the cows come home and you'll be the same once you try them. Be sure to make a pot of tea because you won't stop at one with these yokes.

These are so good! I bought two bags of Maltesers when I was in Ireland in July, specifically so I could make this recipe. It does not disappoint! They are a bit crumbly - maybe I didn’t press firmly enough. But not a crumb will be wasted - I’ll eat all them all with a spoon. 🤤

Absolutely love seeing this Sharon 😄 they look delicious 🤤 Where are you based that you can’t get Malteasers? I’d give them a good old press down and you’ll be sweet 🙌🏼 To be honest I love the wee crumbly bits as well 😅

I’m in the U.S., Jonny, and I can get Matesers, but they’re stupid expensive. 😡 I held off making them till now because I’m going to see my siblings this week and I wanted to share them with them. I ate the rest of the crumbly bits this morning after breakfast.😆 Next time I will know to really press them down (though I don’t have your muscles.) 😄

That’s so annoying! When I was in the US last year it was crazy the difference in sweets and chocolate 😅 You’re too good to them! They’ll be delighted to see you coming with treats 🙌🏼 That sounds like the best post breakfast pick me up 🤤 Don’t be silly, you’re well able for it 💪🏼

I’m querying whether the amount of butter and syrup you use to bind the biscuit crumbs and maltesers is enough? I used triple the amount and it still wasn’t enough. Also, should I have broken up the maltesers as they all bunched together and it was difficult to spread them evenly. I’m nan expert tray baker - very new to this, so this is a genuine query, not a criticism. Thanks
