I have been wanting to share a Maltesers recipe for a while, but honestly every time we buy a packet they never last long enough to bake with! So here is my favourite Maltesers No Bake Slice.
Published September 30, 2017, Updated April 4, 2024
This is a simple play on my Chocolate No-Bake Slice. It is one of the most versatile recipes, you can create all sorts of variations of it. Maltesers are a lovely sweet or lolly with a crunchy malt centre.
You can use your favourite blocks of chocolate to create an even richer more decadent slice. I have used just chocolate buttons this time, it is cheap and cheerful and definitely still tastes great! But I can imagine a good quality dark or milk chocolate would be amazing.
Another tip is to wait at least 5 minutes for the initial melted ingredients to cool slightly or you will strip the Maltesers of their chocolate and they begin to melt.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and I would love to hear what you would do to this basic recipe to make it even more amazing than it is.
QUICK TIP: To halve the Maltesers, simply take a sharp knife and press down on the ball, with enough pressure and a few practises you will find they break in half…..more or less. If you try and cut them they can fall to pieces!

Maltesers No Bake Slice
Delicious and simple, this Maltesers No Bake Slice is a total treat! Everyone loves this one.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (150 grams ) of Milk or Dark Chocolate (Melts, Drops, or your favourite chocolate block)
- 100 grams Butter
- 395 gram Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 250 gram packet of Plain Biscuits (I use Superwines)
- ½ Cup (40 grams) Desiccated Coconut
- 2 Tablespoon Cocoa Powder
- 1 Cup Maltesers, halved
CHOCOLATE ICING
- 1 ½ Cups (225 grams) Milk or Dark Chocolate (Melts, Drops, or your favourite chocolate block)
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Prepare a 25cm square slice dish or baking tin with greaseproof paper (I always give my tin a quick spray with cooking oil then line with paper so it sticks nicely) and set aside.
- Using a food processor roughly crush the biscuits (or pop them in a ziplock bag and bash them a bit with a rolling pin) You want them all sizes not fine and set aside.
- Halve your Maltesers - *see the tip above
- In a large saucepan slowly melt together the chocolate, butter and condensed milk, stirring often to ensure it does not catch until butter completely melted and ingredients blended together.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly for at least 5 minutes, then add to this the biscuits, coconut, maltesers and cocoa powder and mix thoroughly.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and using the back of a large spoon spread it around and flatten mixture until it is completely smooth and packed tight.
- Put the biscuit base in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes
Chocolate Icing
- You can prepare this either on the stove top in a double boiler or in the microwave. Quicker and easier to use microwave.
- Place the chocolate in a medium sized microwave proof bowl
- Heat for 30 second bursts, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Add the oil to the chocolate then pour over the cooled biscuit base. (The Oil is to prevent the topping from cracking!), once it is smoothed out with the back of a spoon, give it a little shake to settle the topping evenly.
- Pop some more maltesers on the top, allow for the chocolate to set and slice!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Enjoy!

Hi, could this be frozen?
justamumnz says
I freeze it uniced. If you freeze it iced sometimes it can discolor the chocolate topping, but if you cover it well with plastic wrap and then in foil or airtight container it will be less likely to be affected.
Chris says
What else would work instead of Maltese’s as I can’t eat them?
justamumnz says
Anything really, the basic recipe is a choc no bake slice so can leave them out or add anything you think will work well
Denise Watts says
Hi Anna, do the Maltese’s stay crunchy or go soft in this recipe ?
justamumnz says
Some do soften a little but not all of them do. That’s why I like having them on the top too so you get that Malteser crunch.

Hi Anna,
Such an easy recipe to follow and the biggest effort is halving the malteasers!
I put the chocolate bits in a zip lock bag and then in the freezer for a while then broke them up slightly with a meat tenderizer… I guess it speeds up the process, result was perfect so thanks for the recipe 🙂
I used the new Raspberry Malteasers.
