Looking for the BEST No Bake Malteser Slice recipe? Well you’ve found it!
This classic slice is always a popular choice whenever I serve it at parties, and I love that I can make it a few days in advance of when I need it. This slice is slightly different from the original version as I use milk chocolate instead of dark for the base, however you can use dark chocolate if you prefer.
Regardless of whether you make this conventionally or using a Thermomix, this is a seriously easy recipe to put together. All you need to do is:
- Crush the Biscuits:
2. Melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup
3. Combine the ingredients and pop into your baking tray
4. Then top with melted white chocolate and more Maltesers – too easy!
I find this slice takes a good four hours or so to set, however if you really can’t wait that long, you can check after three hours. Once set, slice into pieces and enjoy!
My Tips for Making This No Bake Maltesers Slice:
- You will need two blocks of milk and white chocolate for this recipe. Please note you will have leftover milk chocolate.
- I like to add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil to the white chocolate when melting it, this helps to cut the slice without the white chocolate layer cracking.
- I use a 20cm square baking tin for this recipe, however you can also use an 18 x 28cm slice tin if you prefer, your slice pieces will just not be quite as thick.
- If you can’t find Marie Biscuits, you can use any other type of plain sweet biscuit.
- For a richer base you can use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- The mixture will be quite sticky when you are combining the ingredients, this is normal.

How long do these last in the fridge?
Lauren
Hi Tamika, I’ve kept this in the fridge for around a week before.
Natalie
Loved the look of this recipe but it went rather wrong when I tried it! I used digestive biscuits, and when I mixed the crushed biscuits into the melted chocolate, butter and golden syrup mixture there seemed to be some sort of watery mixture left over. Any thoughts as to what went wrong there? Or is that supposed to happen? This watery mixture ended up mixing slightly with the White chocolate :/. Also, are you supposed to leave this mixture to cool before adding the maltesers? As the chocolate melted off the maltesers when I added them – which doesn’t seem to have happened in your photos… Loved the look of these slices so would definitely try them again with some small amendments :).
Lauren
Hi Natalie, Thank for your message. I’m really sorry it didn’t turn out for you.
Re: the watery mixture, I’m assuming this might have been oil from the butter? Maybe you could try reducing it a little next time (if you use the same brand) and that might help. I normally add the maltesers straight away as it’s easier to combine, the chocolate does usually melt off but you will still see the maltesers within the slice. I hope that helps 🙂
Yvonne
These were amazing. .. so rich though! Mine ended up being 3cm square which was a good size. ..any larger and some may struggle to finish one! Will definitely make these again. ..look fabulous all cut up on a plate! Great present.
Lauren

My husband loves Maltesers and asked for this slice as his birthday cake! I made it in a silicone ring tin (didn’t have the Maltesers on top or the white chocolate though) to look like a cake and oh my goodness! It was yum and I’m surpirsed it lasted as long as it did!
Lauren
What a great idea Suzanne! I’d love to see a photo of your creation if you would like to send one to me 🙂

I’ve never seen these before but they look amazing! Yum!
Robin @thebakingexchange
I could see 2 year olds and 40 year olds eating these up! Are Maltesers a British thing? I’m guessing the American equivalent would be a Whopper?
Lauren
Yep, they were sure popular with all ages! I’m not sure to be honest, I’m from Australia and they are readily available here. They are little chocolate balls with a malted centre – so yummy!

It sure can be, it’s certainly not good for those on a diet – me included!
