Now that I’m on the wrong side of thirty (a fact I’m still struggling to come to terms with!), regular appointments to get my hair coloured have become necessary. It’s not all bad, and I’m certainly not complaining. It’s a great opportunity to sneak out of the house for a few hours by myself and sit back and relax with a few trashy magazines and a coffee and enjoy some peace and quiet – I’m currently listening to my boys screaming while my husband is trying to give them a bath!
It was while flipping through one of the weekly women’s mags and catching up on all the Kardashian and other celeb goss, that I came across this recipe for Malteser Fudge. I knew that I just HAD to make it, so I subtly took a photo of the recipe on my phone and promised myself I would be making this the next day.
I know I’ve said it before, but it REALLY doesn’t get much easier than this. With just four ingredients, this is an incredibly easy recipe to put together. I melted the chocolate and milk in the microwave just because I’m lazy, however if you prefer you could also melt these ingredients in a bowl placed over a pot of boiling water – just choose which ever method you prefer.
This is a very rich fudge, and you really only need a small slice – or two! Now that the party season is upon us (is it just me or does it seem to start earlier each year?), this would be the perfect dessert to take along to your next BBQ, and I’m also thinking it would be a great Christmas gift for Teachers, Friends and Family.

I will definitely make this for the upcoming holiday season. One question, can this be frozen? I would love to make batches and batches! LOL
TIA

Hi Jackie! I haven’t tried to freeze this recipe I’m afraid, I would be a little hesitant to do so as I’m not sure how it would go due to the high chocolate content xx

okay so what is Malteser? Haven’t heard of that! Reminds me of a malted milk ball.

Spot on, that’s what they are!

Just made this recipe and my whole family is in love with it, including my friends who are begging for more 😉 anyways I was thinking this recipe doesn’t have to be limited to just malteasers, you could use any chopped candy bar too! Also you could change the milk and dark chocolate for white. There are endless yummy possibilities.

Thanks Abbey, I’m so glad to hear you guys enjoyed it! You are right, the possibilities really are endless – it’s a little dangerous!

I thought about making this for teachers for the end of year and then I realised I would just eat it all myself so why wait to make it? Yummo!
