I tried to create M&Ms and Maltesers Hagelslag

Sometimes I get an idea in my head and it is not easy to let it go. Recently that idea was that I wanted to try some M&Ms and Maltesers Hagelslag. However, there was one problem. There is no such thing as M&Ms and Maltesers Hagelslag. A normal person would probably let the idea go at this point. Something not existing is usually a pretty good indication that you are not going to be able to obtain it. However, I did not let it go. I decided that if it didn’t exist I was going to create it.

It seemed like it would be a simple thing to do. All I would need is some of the aforementioned chocolaty treats and a hammer. So I popped out to the local shops and…

Using the hammer I smash the M&Ms and Maltesers into small pieces. Things got a bit messy at this point. If you are planning to try this yourself I would not recommend doing it while you have the M&Ms and Maltesers on a plate. Not only will bits of chocolate fly off in every direction but you’ll also have to explain to your wife why one of her favourite plates is broken (this may or may not have happened).

After putting the confectionery into individual bags and going to town on them with the hammer I had my Hagelslag.

Then it was just a case of spreading butter over the bread, sprinkling my newly created breakfast treat over them and…

Ta-da! M&Ms Hagelslag…

…and Maltesers Hagelslag.

I was not disappointed. The results were amazing. The crunch of the M&Ms hard sugary outer shell with the bread (plus their own inner chocolate) was lovely, only slightly beaten by the subtle biscuit-y crunch, chocolate and bread combo of the Malteasers…

And the two together… wow!

I now have a new favorite Dutch-inspired breakfast. If anyone from Mars (the chocolate company, not the planet) is reading this there is a potential goldmine in the Dutch breakfast market just waiting for you.

To everyone else; what do you think? Are you going to try it? What candy/chocolate should I try pulverizing into pieces with a hammer in the name of Dutch breakfast exploration?

For legal reasons I should probably mention that this post is not endorsed by Mars (the company or the planet).
