Malteser Easter Bunny Tiffin

Ingredients

• Butter (125g)
• Golden Syrup (125g)
• Milk Chocolate (500g)
• Dark Chocolate (200g)
• White Chocolate (100g) (Optional)
• Digestive Biscuits (175g)
• Maltesers (189g - one large pouch)
• Mini Malteser Bunnies (12 bunnies - three pack with 3 bunnies spare :))

Method

1. Line a 9"x9" baking tin.
2. Gently melt the butter and golden syrup in a saucepan on a low-medium heat. Take off the heat when the mixture is smooth and starts to bubble.
3. Break / cut in to small chunks 200g milk chocolate and the 200g dark chocolate and add to the butter and golden syrup. Set aside to allow the chocolate to melt.
4. While waiting for the chocolate to melt, break the digestive biscuits and add them to a large mixing bowl along with the maltesers.
5. When the chocolate is fully melted in to the butter and golden syrup mixture pour it on top of the broken digestives / maltesers and mix until fully coated.
6. Press the mixture down in to the lined baking tin.
7. Topping: Melt the remaining 300g of milk chocolate and the 100g of white chocolate seperately in two heatproof bowls/jugs. When both chocolates are fully melted pour the milk chocolate on top of the tiffin, then drizzle the white chocolate on top. Finish by decorating with the malteser bunnies.

Notes

• - If the chocolate isn't fully melted in to the butter and golden syrup mix after a couple of minutes add the saucepan back on to the heat for a few seconds - but be careful to not over-heat the chocolate!
• - I must admit that this recipe uses quite a lot of chocolate... the white chocolate is optional, and the milk chocolate in the topping can be reduced by 100g to 200g!
• - I've used digestive biscuits (similar to graham crackers - for those of you who are unfamiliar), but shortbread or other cookies can used as an alternative.
