Baking doesn’t have to be difficult and you don’t need lots of ingredients to produce something tasty.

These Malteser bars taste delicious and you can whip them up in about 15 minutes, before leaving them to set.

They’re a classic sweet treat in Northern Ireland but it’s rare to see them anywhere else.

You’ll need just six store-cupboard ingredients – butter, digestive biscuits, milk chocolate, white chocolate, golden syrup (honey or maple syrup also works) and some Maltesers, of course.

Ingredients

• 100g butter
• 200g milk chocolate
• 3 tbsp golden syrup
• 225g digestive biscuits
• 204g Maltesers (two pouch bags – you can add slightly more or less depending on the size of bags you can get)
• 175g white chocolate

Method

1. Melt the butter, milk chocolate and syrup in a pan on a medium heat for a few minutes until smooth.
2. Crush the biscuits, either in a food processor or by placing in a bag and hitting with a rolling pin.
3. Add the melted butter, chocolate and syrup mixture to a bowl, followed by the digestives and Maltesers (leave a few aside to decorate the top). Mix together well.
4. Spread the mixture into a lined 20cm square tin or small roasting tray, pushing it into the corners and making the top as even as possible.
5. Melt the white chocolate in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water (ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl), then pour over the top of the mixture in the tray. Crush your leftover Maltesers and sprinkle over the top. Leave the whole thing to set in the fridge for three hours or until set.
6. Once set, take out of the fridge and slice into squares to enjoy.

Tip: Traditionally, this recipe uses white chocolate on top but if you don’t have any, milk chocolate would work just as well.
