Ingredients

½ can condensed milk - 200g
200 g chocolate – a 150g Maltesers Teasers Bar plus 50g milk chocolate - OR 200 g milk chocolate plus an extra 70g Maltesers
70 g Maltesers

Instructions

Prepare the mould to set the fudge. I prefer a flexible plastic takeaway tray but you can line a baking pan with baking parchment instead.
Break up the chocolate and Maltesers Teasers bar into chunks. Put these into a microwave-safe jug, together with the condensed milk.
½ can condensed milk, 200 g chocolate – a 150g Maltesers Teasers Bar plus 50g milk chocolate
Put the bowl in the microwave on half power for 30 second bursts, until the chocolate starts to melt. Give it a good stir each time. Do not overheat and boil the fudge.
When the chocolate has nearly all melted, stir until smooth. The residual heat of the mixture will melt the rest.
Add the Maltesers (reserving a few to decorate). Fold into the mixture quickly, so the chocolate doesn't melt off them.
70 g Maltesers
Pour the melted Malteser mixture into the prepared mould. Smooth it out, so the surface is even.
Cut the reserved Maltesers in half and gently press into the surface of the fudge to decorate.
Allow to cool, and then cover, or put the lid on. Place the tray of fudge in the fridge to set. This will take at least a couple of hours.
Once set, turn the fudge out of the mould or lift out of a lined pan. Cut into squares when you are ready to eat it.

Notes

Maltesers Teasers Bars – You will find these in large supermarkets, or Poundland (my favourite place for bar chocolate to cook with). If you haven't come across them before, they are chocolate bars filled with miniature balls of the crunchy Malteser filling. If you can't get hold of any, then use regular milk chocolate and double the Maltesers, bashing half of them up before adding them.

The Maltesers will go soft and the filling will shrink where they have been cut, so eat within a few days. If you are making your fudge in advance as a gift, leave it uncut, so that they stay crisp. The takeaway container is the ideal size for a smaller slab.

No Microwave? No problem! You can make this Malteser fudge recipe on the stove top or in the slow cooker.
- Stove Top – Follow the recipe above but instead of heating the condensed milk and chocolate in the microwave, warm the condensed milk in a saucepan on the lowest heat (depending on your stove you might need to use a diffuse ring to further moderate the heat). Then stir the chocolate in to melt it.
- Slow Cooker – Put the condensed milk and chocolate in a jug and stand it in the slow cooker. Add a few inches of boiling water to the slow cooker pot so that it surrounds the jug. Set the cooker to low. Leave the lid off and stir occasionally until the mixture warms and the chocolate melts into the milk. Then follow the recipe above from Step 5.
