Print Recipe

Mary Berry Malteser Tray Bake is a no-bake chocolate slice made using crushed digestive biscuits, melted chocolate, golden syrup, butter, and Maltesers. The mixture is pressed into a tray, topped with smooth chocolate coating, and finished with extra Maltesers for decoration. Once chilled, it cuts into perfect squares with crunchy and creamy layers.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 250g digestive biscuits (crushed)

  • 100g Maltesers (whole or halved)

  • 100g butter

  • 3 tbsp golden syrup

  • 200g milk chocolate

  • 100g dark chocolate (for topping)

  • Optional: extra Maltesers for decoration

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare your tray

Line a square tin with parchment paper, letting it hang over the edges so you can lift the traybake out easily.

Step 2: Melt the butter, chocolate, and syrup

Place butter, golden syrup, and 200g milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt gently over simmering water until smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Crush the biscuits

Crush digestives into small chunks. Avoid crushing them too fine—keeping texture gives the traybake its signature crunch.

Step 4: Add the Maltesers

Stir in Maltesers (whole or halved) with the crushed biscuits, coating everything in the chocolate mixture.

Step 5: Press into the tray

Scoop the mixture into your lined tin and press firmly so it sets evenly and forms clean slices later.

Step 6: Make the topping

Melt 100g dark chocolate (or milk chocolate) and pour it over the base, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 7: Add decoration

Scatter extra Maltesers on top while the chocolate is still soft so they stick firmly.

Step 8: Chill and slice

Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until completely firm. Lift out using the parchment and cut into squares.
