Questions about Maltesers
What are Maltesers made of?
They have a light, crunchy malted centre coated in milk chocolate. The centre is made with malted barley and wheat, so Maltesers are not gluten-free.
How should you store Maltesers?
Keep them in a sealed packet or airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and heat. A cupboard is usually better than the fridge, where condensation can affect the chocolate.
Can you use Maltesers in baking?
Yes. Chop or lightly crush them and scatter them over cheesecake, brownies or ice cream; add them near the end so the crunchy centres stay intact. For rocky road, fold them in after the melted chocolate mixture has cooled slightly.
Do Maltesers melt in the oven?
The chocolate coating softens and can melt, while the malted centre stays crunchy. If you want them to keep their shape as a topping, add them after baking and cooling.
Are Maltesers suitable for someone avoiding dairy?
No. Their milk-chocolate coating and malted centre contain milk ingredients.
Can dogs eat Maltesers?
No. Keep them away from dogs: chocolate contains theobromine, which can be poisonous to them, and the sugar and fat are unsuitable as a treat.
