Soreen white choc squares – high energy desk snack recipe

It’s not chocolate cake but it’s really nice and really chewy – JD, 4

I love Soreen malt loaf. Lovely squishy, chewy, sticky stuff. I eat it toasted, I eat it with jam, I eat it straight out the pack (they even have little individual bars now for just that purpose).

It’s fairly low fat, but something like 65% carbohydrate, which is probably why hikers carry it as source of long-lasting energy.

As I tend to sit at my desk munching through whatever is to hand, I thought I’d try for a healthier option combining two of my greatest loves: Soreen and white chocolate.

JD and I had a lot of fun making these Soreen white choc squares – they’re not unlike toffees…except nicer.

Ingredients

  • Half a loaf of Soreen
  • 100g white chocolate
  • Cocktail sticks
  • Sheet of greaseproof paper

Instructions

  1. Using a good sharp serrated knife, cut the half-loaf of Soreen into 10-12 roughly even chunks (they won’t be perfect cubes – it’s squishes when you cut it!)
  2. Stick a cocktail stick in each chunk
  3. Melt the white chocolate in a bowl
  4. Dip each chunk in the chocolate, twist until covered and then place on the greaseproof paper to set
  5. When set, pull out the cocktail sticks and eat

Simple, fun and has lasted me all week. Will you try it?

Disclosure: Soreen sent me some bars and loaves to try, but I’ve bought many more before and since. No payment was received for this post. All posts are 100% honest.

  1. Nice idea! I love Soreen cake and this makes it even more delicious :)

  2. mmm mmm mmmm love this idea – I too am a fan of malt loaf (and have a tendency to snack whilst working!) – wonder whether it would work with dark chocolate too?

  3. love malt loaf, I’m with you on eating chunks as it is. Like the apple one best I think

  4. This is brilliant – I’ve bought some banana Soreen and white chocolate in preparation for a party on Sunday – I can only hope that they last that long….. thank you for the inspiration, they look excellent!

    Mmmmmm this sounds like the bea flavour combo !! I must try this thanks for sharing x x

  6. What a brilliant idea! My boys are both fans of Soreen (as am I) Will definitely give these a go, although maybe with milk chocolate as Charles hates white chocolate.

  12. Oh I’m going to try that, looks yummy. I might substitute the soreen for my bara brith recipe (so I get the tea fix too) http://knittymummy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/bara-brith-with-twist.html if it works I’ll put a link on my post linking to this one as a variation on my recipe
