No-Bake Fudge Brownies

A rather large amount of Maltesers, Oreos and chocolate were consumed during the making of these brownies. I'm glad I got that off my chest.



No-Bake Fudge Brownies
adapted from Martha Stewart
Makes 24

340g dark chocolate, chopped
150ml evaporated milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups finely ground Oreo cookies
2 cups sweetened coconut flakes, plus extra for sprinkling
1 box Maltesers
1/4 teaspoon salt

Line a 23cm square baking dish with plastic wrap, leaving some to hang over the sides.

Heat the chocolate and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla. Stir again and reserve 1/3 cup of the mixture - this will be spread over the brownies.

Combine the Oreos, 2 cups of coconut, 1 cup of Maltesers and the salt in a bowl. Pour in the chocolate mixture and mix gently.

Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Spread the reserved 1/3 cup of chocolate over the top. Sprinkle the extra coconut over the chocolate and place rows of Maltesers evenly on top. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours. Remove brownies from pan by lifting the over-hanging plastic wrap. Remove the plastic and cut into 24 brownies.
