    I LOVE Maltesers! During my teenage years, Maltesers were my go to take-to-the-movies treat. The big bags too. Not the little bags, no sir. If you're going to have Maltesers you have to have a big bag am I right?

    Notice I say take to the movies not buy AT the movies... Movie food is far too expensive for me so sneaking in the chocolate and goodies is always the way for me.

    I love these cookie bars. They have a  full ½ cup of malted milk powder AND crushed Maltesers. Trust me when I say you really won't be disappointed in the flavour of these Malteser cookie bars. That is, if Maltesers are your thing of course. If malt and chocolate isn't your thing then these are not for you.

    As you can see from the above video, this is a simple one bowl, no mixer required recipe. It comes together in less than ten minutes and you can be enjoying these straight from the oven in twenty! The only noticeably different thing about this recipe compared to other cookie bars is the addition of maple syrup. I added ample syrup as an extra oomph of flavour if you will. I found the light caramel sweetness of the maple syrup really helped bring out the malt flavour in these bars.

      I have no idea where I will find malted milk powder but I will start looking in the stores, because these bars are intriguing using Maltesers and I would like to make them.

      what if I added an extra 2-3 eggs, it'll make it more rich right?

        I would not recommend adding extra eggs as eggs will completely change the structure of the cookie bars. You may be able to get away with adding an extra egg yolk for added richness but I can't vouch for the results.
