Malteser Chocolate Chip Caramel Cookie Bars


Last week I was heading to a friend's house for a girl's night and I wanted to bring something to show my appreciation. I was stumped, and looked to the remains of the Halloween sweets for inspiration. 



Maltesers had already proved to make delicious cookies and I thought the caramel Chomp bars would be lovely and gooey! Bonus points: these bars take less effort than cookies!


Here's what you need to make a 6x6 tray of cookie bars:
1/2 cup margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup soft brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup chocolate chips
3 funsize bags of Maltesers
4 funsize Chomp bars

  1. Line a 6x6 tray with baking parchment, snipping at the corners so it fits properly.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180degrees Celcius.
  3. In a plastic bag, bash at the Maltesers with a mallet until broken (not crushed).
  4. Chop Chomp bars into small pieces.
  5. Beat together margarine and sugars until combined.
  6. Add vanilla and egg, and mix until combined.
  7. Add the flour and mix until combined.
  8. On a slow setting, add the chocolate chips and Chomp and Malteser pieces.
  9. Place dough into prepared tin.
  10. Bake for about 50minutes or until cooked through and golden brown in colour.
  11. Allow to cool in tin before slicing.
  12. Enjoy.
