Caramel Slice

I’m sharing with you another family and friends favourite. This caramel slice is so good that you could eat the whole tray (but feel really sick after). It’s so hard to wait until the caramel slice is firm enough to cut into pieces.

I usually make this slice using one can of condensed milk but I decided to use two cans this time. OMG…. it tastes so delicious with the extra thick gooey caramel layer. If you love caramel you definitely need to make this slice with two cans of condensed milk.

I’m not sure how many of you love the side off cuts of the caramel slice but I definitely enjoy it as the sides are so chewy and delicious.

I hope you try this classic recipe soon. Everyone will love it.

Happy Baking xo

· 2 x 395 grams cans condensed milk

Chocolate topping

· 185 grams dark chocolate
· 3 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.

2. Line a 15 x 27cm cake tin with baking paper.

3. Place flour, coconut, sugar and melted butter into a bowl and mix until combined.

4. Press mixture into lined tin and bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Caramel filling

5. Place golden syrup, butter and condensed milk into a saucepan over low heat and stir until mixture is combined and thick.

6. Pour the caramel filling over the cooked base and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the caramel is golden. Allow it to cool.

Chocolate topping

7. Place chocolate and oil into a saucepan over low heat and stir until melted.

8. Cool slightly and pour over the caramel layer. Refrigerate until firm.

9. Cut into pieces and enjoy.

Tips

· The way to tell that the caramel filling is done, you should see a slight change in colour and be able to smell the sweetness of the caramel. This will take a few minutes (5 to 7 minutes).

· To cut the caramel slice so the chocolate layer on top doesn’t crack, dip your knife into some hot water or run the knife under hot water and then cut into pieces.
