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.

  8. These look incredibly dangerous- candy ingredients AND no-bake!? I'd be surprised if the oreos and Maltesers even made it to the brownie :)

  12. Hehe Little Kitchie. If there was ever a recipe that was "too easy for my own good", this would have to be it.

  13. You can make these Patty, just don't blame me when you do, K?

    BTW: buy extra Oreos, always a good tip.

  15. Thanks Yvonne. One of these is pretty much guaranteed to give you a sugar hit. But I usually have two just to make sure.

    I've just started following you on BlogLovin'. I'm a serious bread/baking addict too. I'm sure I will be going back to your blog when I need a bread fix.

    I've just started following you on bloglovin'. Looks like I'll be needing to stock up on my sweet ingredients.

  19. That fact that these are no-bake makes them ridiculously dangerous and delectable in my mind. How have I lived without these in my life! Yum!!
