Equipment You’ll Need
To make this recipe, you’ll need:
- 8” or 9” square tin – For even layers and easy slicing.
- Mixing bowls – For combining the base and topping.
- Spatula or metal spoons – To spread the layers smoothly.
- Microwave-safe bowl – For melting the chocolate and butter.
- Parchment/Baking paper – To line the tin for easy removal.
Tips for the Perfect Maltesers Slice
- Use Semi-Crushed Maltesers: Crushing the Maltesers slightly gives the slice a great mix of textures. Leave some larger pieces for extra crunch.
- Pack the Base Firmly: Press the biscuit mixture into the tin firmly to ensure it holds together when sliced.
- Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate the slice for at least 3 hours to set properly before cutting.
Ingredients for Maltesers No-Bake Slice
For the Base:
- 350 g digestive biscuits, crushed (3 ¼ cups graham crackers in the US)
- 100 g salted butter, melted (7 tbsp salted butter)
- 300 g condensed milk (1 cup sweetened condensed milk)
- 100 g Maltesers, semi-crushed (½ cup Whoppers for the US)
For the Topping:
- 200 g milk chocolate, melted (1 ¼ cups milk chocolate chips)
- 15 g salted butter, melted (1 tbsp salted butter)
- 100 g Maltesers, for topping (½ cup Whoppers for the US)
How to Make Maltesers No-Bake Slice
Step 1: Prepare the Tin
Line an 8” or 9” square tin with parchment paper, ensuring it extends slightly over the edges for easy removal.
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, and condensed milk until combined, then mix through the semi-crushed Maltesers.
Press the mixture firmly into the prepared tin, creating an even layer.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Topping
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate and 15 g of butter in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy.
Step 4: Assemble the Slice
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the biscuit base, spreading it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Scatter the remaining Maltesers over the top, pressing them lightly into the chocolate.
Step 5: Chill and Slice
Refrigerate the slice for at least 3 hours, or until the chocolate has set and the base is firm. Once set, lift the slice out of the tin using the parchment paper.
Use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or rectangles. To stop the chocolate from cracking, you can score the top with a sharp knife or warm the knife under a hot tap to slice through the chocolate topping more easily.
Why This Recipe is Perfect for Any Occasion
This Maltesers no-bake slice is perfect for any event, from birthday parties to casual get-togethers. It’s easy to transport, doesn’t require reheating, and tastes amazing served straight from the fridge.
Because it’s so simple to make, it’s also a great recipe for kids to help with or for when you need a last-minute dessert.
Tips for Success
- Choose the Right Tin Size: An 8” tin will give you slightly thicker slices, while a 9” tin creates thinner, more portioned pieces.
- Don’t Overheat the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate and butter on low heat to avoid seizing.
- Store Properly: Keep the slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. It also freezes well for up to 3 months.
Serving Suggestions
Best served on its own – I like to eat mine straight out of the fridge when it’s firm and crunchy. I usually cut it into 16 pieces, however you can always make the slices smaller to feed a larger crowd.
