Easy chocolate caramel slice recipe
Ingredients
  • BISCUIT BASE:
  • 150g Self Raising Flour
  • 160g Brown sugar
  • 85g Dessicated Coconut
  • 125 g Unsalted Butter
  • CARAMEL FILLING:
  • 440 g Condensed Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
  • 30 g Unsalted Butter
  • CHOCOLATE TOPPING:
  • 125 g 70% Dark Chocolate, chopped
  • 30 g Unsalted Butter
  • Optional: quality salt flakes, like Maldon, for sprinkling on the top
Directions
  1. In a medium bowl add the flour, brown sugar and coconut, stirring well until mixed. Add melted butter and stir well until the crumbs are coated. Don't worry if the mixture looks dry at first, it will come together fine. Press into a 28x18cm lamington tin with the base and sides lined with baking paper. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the caramel. Place condensed milk, golden syrup and butter into a small saucepan. Stir continuously over low heat until the caramel thickens. Continue stirring as it comes to the boil, then remove from heat. For a gooey caramel let it thicken slightly, or for a chewier result let the caramel thicken more. Pour the caramel over the warm biscuit base and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
  3. Allow to cool. Make the chocolate topping by heating the chocolate and butter slowly over low heat until melted and glossy. Spread over the biscuit and caramel base. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes if you prefer. It helps cut through the cloying sweetness of the caramel.
  4. Store at room temperature.
