  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder ($0.17 / £0.08)
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup ($0.20 / £0.06)
  • 50g (1 ¾ oz) dark chocolate, roughly broken ($1.25 / £0.25)
  • 50g (1 ¾ oz) milk chocolate, roughly brokwn ($1.25 / £0.25)

For Top

  • 75g (2 ½ oz) dark chocolate, roughly broken ($1.88 / £0.38)
  • 40g (1 ½ oz) Maltesers, roughly chopped ($1.43 / £0.53)

Instructions
 

  • Line a 20cm x 20 cm (8" x 8") square tin with baking paper.
  • Crush the biscuits to fine crumbs - either in a food processor or with the end of a rolling pin - and place in a medium size mixing bowl.
  • Roughly chop the Maltesers, leaving some larger chunks, and put them in the bowl with the biscuit crumbs.
  • In a small sauce pan over a low heat, place the butter, cocoa, golden syrup, 50g milk chocolate and 50g dark chocolate and heat, stirring, until the butter and chocolate have melted.
  • Leave the chocolate mix to cool for a couple of minutes, then pour over the Maltesers and biscuit crumbs.
  • Mix well until all the biscuit crumbs are coated in the chocolate mixture.
  • Pour into the prepared tin and smooth out, pressing down with the back of a spoon.
  • Melt the remaining 50g milk chocolate and 75g dark chocolate, either in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water.
  • Once melted, pour over the chocolate Maltesers biscuit base, and spread out to cover the slice.
  • Sprinkle over the roughly chopped Maltesers and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours to set.
  • Take out of the fridge 30 minutes before you want to cut it. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut into 16 pieces.
  • Store in an container in the fridge.

Notes

Estimated costs: Australia $13.60. Per serve = $0.85
UK £4.32. Per serve = £0.27
America - I am yet to calculate the estimated ingredients costs to make this recipe in the US. If you would find it useful please contact me and I'll get calculating :) 
Maltesers - if you are in America, use Whoppers. I use the plain milk covered ones, but dark chocolate or white chocolate Malteser's would work too. You could also chop up Maltesers Teasers or use honeycomb Maltesers.
Biscuits - my favourite biscuits for this recipe are malted milk biscuits. You can substitute digestive biscuits, graham crackers, or Marie biscuits, but I love the malted taste these biscuits (cookies) give which matches the malty Maltesers.
Butter - unsalted butter. 
Golden Syrup - Lyles golden syrup. If you can't get this, light corn syrup would work.
Chocolate - a mixture of dark and milk chocolate provides a richness without it being too rich or sweet. You can however use all dark chocolate or all milk chocolate if you prefer. Use the best quality chocolate you can.
Malted milk biscuits can be harder to make into crumbs than digestive biscuits. The best ways I've found are to place the biscuits in a shatterproof bowl and use the end of a rolling pin to crush them, or roughly break them up and place in a food processor and whizz to crumbs.
Chop the Maltesers roughly, so there are some larger chunks - these will remain crisp when you mix them with the biscuit crumbs.
Leave the melted butter and chocolate mixture in the saucepan for 5 minutes to cool slightly - this will stop it from melting all the chocolate off the Maltesers.
Melt the chocolate gently either in a microwave or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water. If the chocolate gets too hot, it will seize.
Optional step - If you are worried about the chocolate layer cracking, you can add a teaspoon of coconut oil.
Storing in Fridge - keep in a covered container in the fridge for up to a week.
Freezing the traybake - wrap well and keep in the freeze for up to 2 months. Note: The chopped Maltesers on the top can go a little soft once thawed, so if making to freeze I wouldn't add any on top of the slice, leave it plain melted chocolate.
