## Prep notes
- Line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.

## Ingredients
- 60 g unsalted butter (diced)
- 45 g golden syrup (null)
- 200 g milk chocolate (chopped)
- 200 g digestive biscuits (crushed into fine crumbs and small chunks)
- 200 g Maltesers (most left whole, a few coarsely chopped)

## Method
1. **Crush & Chop**
  - **Crush biscuits:** Place digestive biscuits in a sealed bag and crush them into a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks.

2. **Melt Base**
  - **Melt butter and syrup:** Combine butter and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat until melted. · 3-4 minutes
  - **Add chocolate:** Remove pan from heat, add chopped milk chocolate, and stir until completely smooth. · Look for: Glossy and completely melted

3. **Combine**
  - **Fold ingredients:** Stir the crushed biscuits and most of the Maltesers into the warm chocolate mixture until thoroughly coated.

4. **Press & Chill**
  - **Set in fridge:** Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking tin, scatter remaining Maltesers on top, and chill in the refrigerator. · 3 hours

5. **Slice & Serve**
  - **Slice into squares:** Lift the chilled block out of the tin using the parchment paper and cut into portions with a sharp knife. · Look for: Firm to the touch

## Why it works
Melting butter, syrup, and chocolate together creates a glossy, cohesive emulsion that coats the dry biscuit crumbs and malted spheres, hardening securely when chilled.

## Failure modes
- Remove the pan completely from the heat before adding the chocolate and stir gently.
