Malteser Blondies

Hey Guys, so yesterday I was hit with the urge to bake, I mean Sundays are the perfect lazy day for whipping up some form of baked goodie and yesterday was no exception. I decided to try GBBO winner Jo Wheatley's recipe and they didn't disappoint, I've popped my few little notes at the top here before posting the recipe!

Edits*

1. I didn't have horlicks so used a white hot chocolate instead which tasked lovely also. I feel like malteser hot chocolate would work really well here also!

2. I followed the baking time on the recipe exactly and it led to mine being over baked, mine were done after around twenty- twenty five minutes, so I should have just taken them out. 

Okay so here's the recipe taken from Sainsburys magazine, hope you enjoy making these yummy little (or big depending on how you cut them) treats!
