By far, my Malteser millionaires shortbread has completely surpassed any imaginations of how well it would do after going viral on Facebook, and is already my most popular recipe so far this year, even though it was only posted less than four months ago! After I realised just how successful it was, I knew I needed to post another belter… and these were the first thing I thought of. Using unsalted butter lets you control the amount of salt in your cake and buttercream. I like mine to be low salt so I don’t add much, but you can add an optional ⅛ teaspoon or a pinch of salt to taste in the batter and frosting. For the full recipe with measurements, head to the recipe card at the end of this post. How to make Maltesers Cupcakes Step 15: Once the cake sponges have cooled, place one onto a flat plate or cake board and spread roughly ⅓ of the frosting on top. Most popular with customers in United States of America (USA), France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Spain, Norway, Greece and Japan, but you can buy Malteaster Bunny Single for delivery worldwide.

In 2011, the product gained Fairtrade accreditation in the UK and Ireland by sourcing all their cocoa and sugar under Fairtrade Terms. [6] In 2016, Maltesers’ commercials in the UK began featuring disabled actors (including The Inbetweeners actress Storme Toolis) which have been highly successful for the brand. [7] Celebrating universally awkward situations, the adverts were inspired by real-life stories from disabled people. [7] You can use whole, semi-skimmed or non-diary milk in the cupcake batter and buttercream. For the buttercream, this gives it a thinner, creamier consistency, so only add as much as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. I use a standard normal buttercream frosting to base my Malt Buttercream on, and it couldn’t have been more simple. You don’t want to add tooooo much Malt powder as it might go a bit funny, so I limit it to 25g for a batch of 12 cupcakes. I decided to go more for a Chocolatey type cupcake, but with the Malt Powder in as well so it was a bit of both flavours.. I wasn’t personally too keen on the idea of Normal Malt Cupcakes with Malt buttercream.. more chocoaltey/malt as then its a bit more Malteser like anyway!

I used Malteser bunnies as it was Easter time when I made these, but you can easily decorate with just Maltesers as well! Before I start baking, I like to prepare my cake tins first. I grease them with butter or cooking oil spray, then line them with greaseproof paper (baking parchment). I use greaseproof paper circles, already pre-cut for the cake tin size, to line the bottoms. You can also use a strip for the sides, but for simple cakes I usually skip this - I’m a lazy baker! It’s a good idea to scrape down the sides and bottom of the stand mixer bowl every so often so you get an even mixture. I always position my cake pans in the centre of the oven on the middle shelf when possible. This usually gives a more even bake and my baking temperatures specified in the recipe are based on using this part of the oven. Whether you hide these in the garden for Easter or simply relax and devour one on the couch these small chocolate treats are fantastic.

You can use fresh hot coffee for this recipe, or 2 teaspoon instant coffee dissolved into 100ml (½ cup) hot water instead. Either caffeinated or decaf works great. I usually use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer for the frosting in this recipe because it’s nice and easy. You can instead use a whisk, spatula or fork. This might take some elbow grease, though!Step 2: Place a mini bunny chocolate inside the hole you’ve just created in your cupcake, and repeat the above step and this one for each of your cupcakes. Tesco is one of our favourite supermarkets to shop at for these Easter goodies. With a variety of treats, food and decorations to choose from as well as over 200 Easter eggs (yep, you read that right!), we can't resist.

I usually make this quite a rustic cake, and I don’t level the layers and just slap on the frosting without really smoothing it. The bunny is digging in the mud after all!In Europe, the ingredients are: sugar, skimmed milk powder, cocoa butter, glucose syrup, barley malt extract, cocoa mass, palm fat, lactose, demineralised whey powder, milk fat, wheat flour, emulsifiers (E442, soya lecithin, E492), palm oil, raising agents (E500, E501, E341), salt, gelling agent (pectin), flavouring.
