Nigella's malteser traybake - do I have to use a swiss roll tin?

[sandyballs]

Or can I just use a normal baking tray? Is a swiss roll tin a very shallow baking tray?
Would it still work in a normal one? Or maybe even a glass/ceramic dish?

Sorry I can't help you at all but that sounds so tasty-how do you make it apologies for being cheeky!!

It sounds lovely, and very simple:

100g butter
200g milk chocolate
3 tbsp golden syrup
225g finely crused digestive biscuits
225g maltesers

Melt together the butter, chocolate and syrup then add the crushed biscuits and the maltesers. Mix together quickly and then pour into a lined swiss roll tin and chill till set. For a special occasion drizzle with some melted white chocolate.

Mmmmm, making me hungry. I've just ordered the ingredients on Tesco on-line with my shopping and added some white maltesers too.
Just a bit unsure about the swiss roll tin bit.

a swiss roll tin is just a posh name for a flatish baking tray. Would probably work in anything.

Mines about 10" x 8" I think, seems to be the right size. It needs to spread out to at least malteser thickness I think. Too thin, and you're just going to get sticky crumbs.

Best served really cold, btw!

sounds like Tommy and NoBiggy know wht they are talking about (unlike me) -can't imagine it wouldn't work in most trays if the mixture is the right depth-thanks for telling me the recipe-god it sounds good-but i'll have to wait til at least tomorrow to get the stuff

Mmmmmm, posh chocolate fridge cake,
use anything thats about the right size as it doesn't have to go in the oven but line it with cling film to make it easier to get out - use cling to lift it out with when set - don't cut it in the cling film.
