This Oreo and fudge chocolate slice was first published in April 2015 and appeared on my old blog, The Culinary Jumble. The recipe has been slightly amended and photos updated.

What is an Oreo and fudge slice?

Every weekend I like to pull out all the stops and make something a little special. It invariably involves tons of chocolate, way too much sugar and bucket loads of butter. This week was no exception – let me introduce you to heaven in the shape of a no-bake Oreo and fudge chocolate slice packed with crunchy Maltesers.

There is nothing more complicated than chopping up your favourite goodies and smothering them in melted chocolate. The though part is waiting patiently while it sets. Then, you slice it up and watch it disappear like no tomorrow. There’s no baking involved, just a couple of hours in the fridge. 

This time, I’ve used Oreos, fudge and Maltesers. The thing I love most about this recipe is that you can change up the ingredients to suit you. As long as you use roughly 375g (just over 13oz), the amount of 200g (7oz) chocolate stipulated in the recipe will give everything a lovely coverage. Of course, you can double all of the ingredients and make a super-sized tray.

What chocolate can I use?

You can use any type of melted chocolate. In the past, I’ve used white, dark and milk chocolate. I think creamy milk chocolate is my favourite, but a combo of dark and milk would be amazing. As this is a no-bake dish, go for good quality chocolate, rather than cooking chocolate (and if you’re unsure of the difference, this great article from Whitakers should help you out).

Substitutes for Maltesers

For those of you in places where you can’t buy Maltesers: poor you. Seriously though, all hope is not lost. Although Maltesers are inimitable amazing light balls of malty delight, a little research says that Whoppers are similar. Have a read of World of Snacks side by side comparison. For this recipe, they would absolutely work as a substitute. However, you could use whatever you like. Just chop it up, and throw it in.

Talking about Maltesers, if you love the little malty balls as much as I do, you will love my fridge cake. It’s a very similar recipe to my fudge and Oreo slice, but this time, has cookies, pistachios and white chocolate chunks thrown in:

Oreo and Fudge Chocolate Slice with Maltesers (no bake)

Course Candy

Cuisine British

Prep Time 5 minutes minutes

Chill (fridge) 3 hours hours

Ingredients

• 150g (5¾ oz) Maltesers or Whoppers (with extra for decoration) - see note 1
• 75g (2½ oz) fudge (chopped into small pieces)
• 150g (5¾ oz) Oreos (crushed)
• 75g (⅓ cup) butter
• 2 tablespoons light or golden syrup
• 200g chocolate (I used milk)

Instructions

• Line a baking dish or try with tinfoil or grease-proof paper with an overhang: this will make it easier to lift the out when ready.
• Crush the Oreos and pour into a bowl (I put them in a bag and bash them with a rolling pin).
• Cut some of the Maltesers in half, and leave the rest whole.
• Cut the fudge into small pieces, then add them to the crushed cookies.
• Stir so that everything is evenly distributed.
• In a large pan, gently heat the butter, syrup and chocolate, just until melted.
• Add the dried ingredients, and stir until just combined.
• Pour into the prepared tin, spread until fairly even, and push whole Maltesers gently into the top.
• Leave in the fridge until completely hardened. Remove from the tin and cut up into small pieces (either squares or slices). Enjoy!

Notes

 

1. Research tells me that although Whoppers and Maltesers are not quite the same, they can be used interchangeably for this recipe. 

 

Disclaimer:

I have converted grams to cups/ounces/tablespoons using online converters. Although I have no reason to believe they are inaccurate, please be aware that I have not made the recipe with imperial measurements.

In addition, many ingredients are different in Europe compared to North America. I do all I can to offer possible alternatives and to ensure the best possible outcomes for everyone. However, results cannot always be guaranteed if you have not used the same ingredients, measurements or methods as me.

Lastly, I do everything I can to ensure that my recipes (and instructions) are accurate and easy to follow. However, I am human, and don't always get it right. If you notice anything strange, a mistake, or even a typo, please let me know in the comments.
