I wasn't sure how to make them and since I wanted to take them to work and I was short on time I decided to make mini cupcakes. The recipe was for 12 normal sized cupcakes and I ended up making 55 mini cupcakes (but don't worry, they were all eaten!). The recipe called for 1 malteser per cupcake, but as I did mini's I put half. They pretty much melted in the oven but gave a lovely taste. Here they are fresh out of the oven (I love the colour of them!)...
Anne's recipe had called for both chocolate and vanilla frosting but as I was short of time I decided to just do vanilla. I crushed the Maltesers in my food processor but they weren't as crushed as I'd hoped. However, looking back i'm actually glad of this as I love how you can see the maltesers in the frosing. Here are a couple of photos of how they looked finished.
Sorry for the rubbish quality of the photo above! I was really happy with how they turned out - they tasted lovely and I love the malteser decoration. Ben told me they were the best ones i've made to date and everyone at worked scoffed on them! Thanks Anne for sharing this great recipe :)
They sound and look totally scrumptious x
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing!! Thanks ever so much for trying them out. The two frostings is a bit too much of a faff, I doubt I'd do it often!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of mini ones - I think I shall make some for work :)
And thanks for your kind words about my blog, its so nice to hear people enjoy it!
did you watch the Great British Bake Off tonight?
No problem - I love all your posts, especially ones about all the kitchen finds :)
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot about it but i'll try and catch it on the iplayer this week!
I will certainly make these again - I might try normal sized ones next time, though I love the minis :)
Ooo yum!
ReplyDeleteThese are great Leanne, I agree with Ben, they look like your best to date! I love doing mini malteser ones, the malteser is the perfect sized edible topper! I like the way you can see the malteser flecks in the frosting too! Glad you're back on the baking bandwagon!
