Chewy Choc Malt Slice

I rarely indulge in Choc malt milkshakes these days although, they were and still are my favourite milk drink. 

This slice is somewhat reminiscent of  the ‘Choc malted’. It has a delicious malt flavour and for me the right amount of chocolate. The chewy texture is great and described by my family as very moreish and hard to stop at one piece.

I sometimes make the topping with cream instead of butter, it doesn’t set as firmly as the butter.

Chewy Choc Malt Slice

125 gms butter 180 - 200 gms white chocolate (family block) 3/4 cup castor sugar 2 eggs 4 Tablespoons Malted Milk Powder or a little more if you like a stronger malt flavour. 1 1/2 cups plain flour 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (not essence)

Chocolate Topping 100 g dark chocolate 50 g butter 1 tsp vanilla

Method

Place white chocolate and butter in glass bowl and melt in microwave. Use medium heat or follow the instruction that come with the microwave. Alternative method, use a bowl over hot water. Stir regularly until mixture is smooth.

Add sugar to mixture and stir well and allow the chocolate mixture to cool.

Add eggs, malt powder, vanilla and flour. Mix well

Place/spread mixture into a greased and lined slice tin.

Bake at 160⁰ until firm on the edges and slightly soft in the middle. It will take about 45 minutes. Reduce temperature if getting too brown.

Allow slice to stand for a few minutes and then lift out and place on cooling rack. When the slice is cold spread with the chocolate topping.

Make the chocolate topping by melting the dark chocolate, butter and vanilla together in the microwave. (see instructions above)

Spread the chocolate topping over the slice base and cut into pieces when set.
