Method

  1. Preheat your oven to Gas 4, 180°C, 350°F.
  2. Grease and line your springform baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter and dark chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
    200 grams Butter, 200 grams 70% Dark Chocolate
  4. Once the chocolate and butter are melted, remove the saucepan and stir in the sugar and vanilla until well combined.
    250 grams Golden Caster Sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  5. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, using a spatula or whisk. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
    3 large Eggs
  6. Combine the all-purpose flour, malted milk powder, and cocoa powder well.
    85 grams All-Purpose Flour, 40 grams Malted Milk Powder, 40 grams Cocoa Powder
  7. Sift into the chocolate mixture and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Smash up the Maltesers slightly by placing them in a sandwich bag. Tie it up, but leave a little air to escape. Gently smash the bag using a rolling pin.
    100 grams Maltesers
  9. Fold the Maltesers into the mixture and distribute them evenly throughout the batter without over-stirring.
    200 grams Dark Chocolate Chips
  10. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared springform baking pan.
  11. Add the remaining Maltesers over the top - optional.
    100 grams Maltesers
  12. Bake the brownie in your preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. The brownies should be set around the edges but slightly gooey in the middle.
  13. Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  14. Put the Malteser spread in a bowl and soften in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, then pour over the brownie - optional.
    200 grams Malteser Spread
  15. Cut them into squares and serve as is with fresh cream or even ice cream.

Notes

Here are some top tips to help you succeed in making Malteser Fudge Brownies like a pro:
  1. Start with high-quality ingredients, including fresh eggs and real butter. The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste and texture of your brownies.
  2. Use good-quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
    Choose Maltesers made by Mars to ensure quality, crunchiness, and the right malted taste.
  3. Allow your eggs and butter to come to room temperature before using them. Room-temperature ingredients blend more easily and result in a smoother batter.
  4. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough brownies. Use a gentle hand when folding in the dry ingredients.
  5. Be careful not to overbake the brownies. When they come out of the oven, they should have a slight wobble in the middle, but they will firm up as they cool down.
  6. When melting the chocolate and butter, use low heat and stir frequently to avoid burning the chocolate. You can also melt them in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between.
  7. Brownies should be slightly underbaked for a fudgy texture. When a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are done. The residual heat will continue to cook them as they cool.
  8. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan, then cut them up or use the brownie cutter. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from becoming too dense and developing the right texture.
  9. Use good quality 70% dark chocolate for the best chocolate flavor.
  10. Use Maltesers by Mars, not malted milk balls.
  11. If you want to add extra flair, consider adding more Maltesers before baking and drizzle your favorite chocolate spread over the cooled brownies.
