In America they call Maltesers "Whoppers" and you can buy them in cool milk carton things like this.
Americans, in England we call Whoppers "Maltesers" because they're made of malt and they're little tiny chocolates that tease you and say "Oh eat me, eat me, I'm so satisfying" but they're not because they're so small so you have to have another.
Really I think the English name makes much more sense but these are Whopper Brownies because they're so big and gooey and delicious that there's really nothing about them that teases, they go all the way, baby.
Just look at that gooey centre and those chewy malt balls...
You will only regret licking the screen.
I learnt this the hard way.
To make your own stack of Whoppers, you'll need:
150g (5oz) 70% dark chocolate
100g (3.5oz) milk chocolate
250g (9oz) unsalted butter (room temp)
3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
300g (10.5oz) golden caster sugar
60g (2oz) plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
30g (1oz) cocoa powder
30g (1oz) malt powder (or Horlicks)
150g (5oz) *more or less* Maltesers/Whoppers
Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F, and line a baking tray with parchment. Break up your chocolate and pop it into a bowl resting on a saucpan of boiling water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Keep stirring until you have a molten, glossy bowl of chocolate. Remove it from the heat and place to one side.
Cream together your butter and sugar (especially easy if you're using a mixer). Add the eggs one by one and then keep beating for a good few mins. Work those muscles! (or that mixer if you're lazy like me).
Now fold in your melted chocolate, and then sift your flour, baking powder, salt, malt & cocoa into the bowl. Mix gently until it's all combined. Add your maltballs and pour into your baking tray.
Bake for 25mins.
When the timer pings, take them out of the oven and leave to cool by a window.
After about 45mins, you should be able to lift them out, chop 'em up and serve them to your nearest and dearest.
I served mine with ice cold milk... in shot glasses, because I'm a grown up.
If for some inconceivable reason you have some left over, pop them into a Tupperware box and leave them in the fridge.
Technically they'll keep for a few days but if they last that long in your household I'm going to have to recommend some sort of psychiatrist.

DeleteSeemed like such a good idea at the time
DeleteRose these look phenomenal, can't wait to try them out!
ReplyDeleteWe call them maltesers here too, never even heard of whoppers! Damnn they look so delish, I'd eat the whole batch haha
ReplyDeleteBoom! These look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI. AM. MAKING. THESE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my good lord. Your blog is not safe for my diet!
ReplyDeleteCan we make these when I come...please please please!?!?!
ReplyDeletexx
Delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteGood mornig Rose!
ReplyDeleteI am in Canada and we have both Whoppers and Maltesers! Maltesers are infinitely times better! (My opinion of course) The Malteser chocolate is creamer and milkier and the malty part is not as rock hard. Whoppers are still tasty in a pinch but Maltesers are my favourite! These brownies look AMAZING. A few weeks back I did you recipe for Honey Roasted Peaches, super good! (I have been reading your blog for a few months now, found it on Pinterest, LOVE it!)
Now must find a brownie for breakfast...
I live in Canada as well and agree that Maltesers are DEFINITELY the way to go! can't wait to make these!
Delete-Janelle
I love how your world is redolent with brownies! My local Whole Foods has these AMAZING malt balls that are better than whoppers because they are about 3x larger and have a lot more chocolate--definitely going to give them a try.
ReplyDeleteAlso, since people ask you all kinds of questions in your comments and you so often graciously reply, I'm wondering what area of London you would recommend for staying for a week or so with a nine-year-old in summer? We're thinking of renting a flat next summer but I haven't been to London since, um, the last millennium, so I just can't decide where's best. I could look in a guide book, and I've googled it a bit, but I'm wondering where Rose (or her readers) recommend for a family fun neighborhood experience that's not inconvenient for bus or tube?
It's 6AM here in the US and all I can think of are brownies for breakfast... x

My friend came over from the states this summer and used www.think-apartments.com C
Deletehoose the apartments near Tower Bridge- you'll be near the Tower of London and the Thames so really close to tube and bus (Tower Hill) and also maninline stations Fenchuch St and Liverpool st if you fancied daytrips out of London routes.
They are a great price!, clean, safe and serviced apartments- which is what you want travelling with a child! They do have them in other locations but I think those ones would be best for your week!
Check out this list of things to do with kids in London too:

ReplyDeleteIf only you had a vegan version of this! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI love your top--where is it from?
I hate you for posting this kind of recipes. Actually my thighs hate you but I love you. It looks like I have a plan for this Sunday afternoon: I'm going to try this awesome recipe!
ReplyDeleteAnd iced milk shots? Nice touch!
i need these in my life--that is all.
ReplyDeleteWhere is your oh so lovely jumper from? I made slutty brownies last week, guess I'll have to make whopper ones this week! x
ReplyDeleteLooks delish - i want some
ReplyDeleteT xx
Rosie, I can never go on a detox week if you keep posting delicious recipes like this ! I was going to buy veggies tonight but it looks like I am whipping out the baking tray instead ;D
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious! I'm going to try make some this afternoon

Oh my god "I served mine with ice cold milk... in shot glasses, because I'm a grown up" literally made me laugh out loud. Not only do these look FREAKIN' DELICIOUS, this post almost made me spit out my coffee from laughing so hard. hahahaha, congrats.
ReplyDeleteThey look very dangerous! and you look so cute with that little shot glas of milk!
ReplyDeleteOh my I have made your slutty brownies before and these will be next on my list! There called maltesers in aus to, your right you can't just have one haha. My favourite is putting them in the popcorn at the cinema, salty, malty deliciousness.
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious! We used to get little cartons of whoppers in our Easter baskets as kids :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Rosie
ReplyDeleteI just cut into my first batch (I ran right to the supermarket when you posted this morning) and I had to come on and tell you how DELICIOUS these aree!! Omgosh I can't even handle it right now.
Thankyou for the recipe!! xxx
I don't know if anyone else has posted this, but a little baking tip Alton Brown/ Ina Garten taught me! - Rather than using the double boiler and worrying about seizing the chocolate if it hits the hot water, you can toss the chocolate and butter in the microwave! 30 seconds at a time ONLY (any longer and it might burn) then stir well, put in for another 30 seconds, stir, etc. until thoroughly melted. The chocolate is still shiny and it's fast. Revolutionized my world! Now I have to try whoppers in brownies!
ReplyDeleteHi Rose,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your sweater! Mind sharing where you got it?
Rosie! I've been wondering for a while how it is you have such a fun-filled life? P.s. I will deffinately be trying these this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Rose,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering I could get some advice. I am 17 and am in a desperate situation. Recently I have gained so much weight since a bad break up. I have read your anti diet, but it is hard to stick with it as I go to boarding school so therefore don't have much choice of what I get to eat.
It is starting to make me so depressed to the extent that I feel I can't go out and feel as though I am loosing myself amongst all this weight.
I am trying to make my ex feel as though he never should have left but right now I'm not rocking that look!
You are such a great role model and I can't help but feel jealous of your amazing, god given figure! Were you always this perfect!?
x
I'm certainly not perfect honey!
DeleteThe thing about the anti-diet is that it's easy to follow no matter what you eat. The most important things to pay attention to are the hunger scale and the emotional eating chart.
Try and eat as many vegetables as you can, some protein and a little carbs if you really want them to begin with.
Get lots of exercise (this shouldn't be hard at boarding school because you have games and there's always someone to go running with).
Drink lots and lots of water and you'll start to look and feel healthier.
I put on a lot of weight when I was at uni because I ate badly and disregarded the hunger scale. I've lost it all now and although I'm getting a liiittllee bit of a winter belly from too much pizza and brownies, I'm still generally happy with my body shape.
There will always be girls who are taller, skinnier, sexier, but honestly it really doesn't make a difference. You have to see yourself as beautiful before anyone else will.
I have no doubt that you're gorgeous babe, you can do this!
R xx
I'm on a diet (again)!
ReplyDeleteOmg...I haven't even gotten round to making the slutty brownies yet and now this?! I just added maltesers to my shopping list and will make these on the weekend!
ReplyDeleteOn a different note: I noticed your impeccable manicured nails. Where's a good place to have your nails done in London. I usually go to Bliss Spa but was wondering if there's a place you could recommmend!
Cheers :)
Im making them right now and ive cooked them for 25 minutes and its still so wobbly!! what do i do?!
ReplyDeleteGive them another 5mins and try again!
Deleteaah they worked! They are incredible! There's only 2 of us in my house so I feel several trips to the gym coming on this week haha
DeleteThese look amazing!
ReplyDeletePs where is your jumper from? its beaut! x
What was your job before you became a full-time blogger?
ReplyDeleteThese look so amazingly scrumptious!!! I'm not able to eat Malteasers (they've got gluten in) have you any tips on what I could pop in to replace them?
ReplyDeleteLove your blog :)

DeleteI hope you can help a young gentleman with his off-duty attire. I am a City worker and I am pretty confident regarding the way I dress when I am at work, however I do not have a clue how to dress out of the office and hope you could help (the boys you are friends with always seem to look rather dapper!)
ReplyDeleteI have bought some dunhill chinos and j brand straight legged jeans but I do not have a clue about footwear. What should I buy? converse/boat shoes/brogues? Can you give me a few suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
p.s. I would love to be your Prince Charming (but I'm too chubby/unattractive for a beautiful girl like you.) I hope you know that you are near enough perfect. :)
Hey Anon,
DeleteYou're so sweet, I am absolutely not perfect!
The guys I hang out with generally wear boat shoes, converse trainers or loafers.
I hope that helps! xx
Maltesers = Mars, Whoppers = Hershey's. I like Maltesers more though. This looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYou've absolutely killed me with these, they look amazing!! As if I'm starting Jenny Craig next week?! There's no way these fit into the plan is there!!
ReplyDeletewishfulsinfulyou.blogspot.com
Ugh, YUM
ReplyDeleteYum!! Remind me of making brownies as a kid with my mom. She always let us take them out of the oven a tad bit too early so they were all gooey inside.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your sweater is fab. x
Your hair looks as always amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteShots of milk for the grown ups, obviously. I wish malteasers came in a carton over here, I'm all for gimmicky packaging! Cx
ReplyDeleteYum can't wait to try!
ReplyDeleteI am actually salivating xx
ReplyDeleteDid you think of these out of nowhere?
ReplyDeleteMaltesers were half price... seemed a no-brainer!
DeleteFirst Slutty Brownies, then these. You should be pitching a brownie cookbook to literary agent or something...
ReplyDeleteRose,
ReplyDeletePlease put me and the many others above out of our misery and divulge where you got your jumper from?

I really have to make these ! :P looks super super delicious ! YUM :)

I'm keeping this recipe for when I deserve a treat which I'm sure (if I rack my brains) will be by the weekend! (Loving the knitwear too!)
ReplyDeleteRose you never cease to amaze me with your delicious recipes!! Chocolate brownies are my favourite treat & I never would have thought of adding maltesers! I love how you always add humour to your blogs too :)
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that I read all of your posts in a British accent. Could you post a video of yourself speaking? I would love to hear what your voice sounds like.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow juuuust became brownie day! and what do you know I have a recipe!!

JUST what I needed! I'm studying abroad in Milan and to help all of our roommates bond, I made everyone your Honey Roasted Peaches (though I used nectarines accidentally - whoops! Still good though). Your recipes are always so flawless and they always are so helpful in bringing people together. You should be proud! And I can't wait to try this one out.

ReplyDeleteThese look positively heavenly (although maybe not quite angelic in terms of healthy eating)
ReplyDeleteI'll be whipping up a batch of these for a cosy autumn night with girlfriends, thanks as always!
the first time I found your blog was the slutty brownie post and i quickly made them as soon as these puppies showed up I ran (walked many blocks due to getting a little lost.. I recently moved) to the store and bought whoppers. also I agree the British name seems to make a lot more sense!
ReplyDeleteRose- Where is your sweater from? It is killer and the color looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI made this the day you posted it and the next day took them to Sixth Form, now, I don't want to oversell these or anything, but they are the best brownies that you will ever have (even better than slutty brownies!)and they got devoured!Fab recipe and blog Rose, super jealous of your lifestyle! X
ReplyDeleteaahh!! these look amazing!!! :D i'm such a hopeless cook, but I might have to give these a try. What's the worst that could happen? They go horribly wrong and I'll just have to lick the bowl... ... Oh dear!! ;)
ReplyDeletelove your blog rose!

p.s. is your hair always this amazing or do you style it every day?
This post really really makes me wish I was any good at baking, waahh! X

ReplyDeleteIs 30g (1oz) malt powder (or Horlicks) "lait en poudre" (milk powder) in France?
