Chocolate MALTESER Refrigerator Cake.

My aunt used to always make this when I came over because I loved it so much.  So last time I went to her house for dinner just before I came back to college, she presented me with a big box of it much to my delight.  Alas, my supply has now run out (it's awfully addictive), and so I've decided to take matters into my own hands and attempt to recreate my favourite biscuit cake of all time.

Warning; if you are dieting, stop reading now.

Ingredients:
100g butter
6 tbsp golden syrup
250g chocolate (I used Dairy Milk)
200g broken Rich Tea biscuits
200g Maltesers

Honestly, is it almost impossible that there exists a recipe which is easier than this one.  Basically, all you do is place a saucepan on a medium heat and add the butter, chocolate and golden syrup.  While these are melting together, stir occasionally.  Crush the Rich Tea until the pieces are quite small, and add the Maltesers.  When the heated mixture is melted together and smooth, add to the bowl with the biscuits and Maltesers and mix well.  Lay the completed mixture into a greased swiss roll tin and leave to cool.  When it is cool, place in the fridge for a few hours and you're good to go!



Almond Jam Cookies


As you can see I have been putting the cake stand that I posted about earlier to good use!

Without a doubt these are the best jam drop cookies that you will ever taste! I cooked them to a Kitchen Tea the other week (Pic Above). They are from the Women's Weekly Cupcakes and Cookies book.

ALMOND JAM COOKIES

Ingredients
185g butter, softened, chopped (I think you can use a little less say 175g)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup almond meal
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons jam-you can use all the same or different varieties (I like Strawberry & Raspberry).

Directions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Beat butter, vanilla, sugar and egg yolks with an electric beater until just combined.
Step 2: Stir in almond meal, flour and baking powder, mix well. Roll tablespoons of mixture into balls; place on Baking paper/ Baking trays 5 cm apart.
Step 3: Press a hollow into each ball about 1 cm deep and 1.5cm wide using the handle of a lightly floured wooden spoon.
Step 4: Carefully use a tea spoon and spoon a little of the jam into the cookies.
Step 5: Bake about 20-25 minutes, remove from oven and leave to cool on trays. 

Enjoy with a coffee or Tea? or my favorite a cold glass of milk. 

Wouldn't these would be a wonderful treat to leave out for Santa?
