Method
-
To make truffles, place Maltesers in a medium snap-lock bag. Seal. Gently pound with a rolling pin until coarsely crushed. Transfer to a large bowl. Stir in almonds.
-
Melt butter in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add condensed milk and chocolate. Stir over a medium heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Stand for 45 minutes to cool slightly.
-
Stir half the Malteser mixture into chocolate mixture. Freeze for about 1 hour, or until firm.
-
Roll level tablespoons of mixture into balls. (Makes about 30.) Roll in remaining Malteser mixture, pressing on firmly to coat. Place truffles on a tray lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for 2 hours, until firm.
-
To make dip, place all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Stir over a low heat until mixture is melted and smooth. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cool for 30 minutes.
-
To serve, spoon dip into a serving bowl. Place on a serving platter with truffles and sweet treats.
