It is a simple yet delicious treat that consists of a shortbread base, a layer of creamy caramel, and a topping of rich chocolate. This recipe is perfect for those who want to indulge their sweet tooth with a homemade dessert.

Ingredients

For the shortbread base:
  • 1 1/2 cups of plain flour
  • 1/2 cup of caster sugar
  • 125g of unsalted butter, softened
For the caramel filling:
  • 395g can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons of golden syrup
  • 60g of unsalted butter
For the chocolate topping:
  • 200g of good quality dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a square 20cm (8 inch) baking pan with baking paper. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, caster sugar, and softened butter. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until they resemble breadcrumbs. Step 3: Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan and use a fork to prick the surface. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the base is golden brown. Step 4: While the base is baking, prepare the caramel filling. In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color. Step 5: Pour the caramel over the baked base and smooth it out with a spatula. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the caramel is bubbling and golden. Step 6: Remove the slice from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Step 7: Melt the dark chocolate and vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth and shiny. Step 8: Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel slice and spread it out evenly. Let the chocolate set before cutting the slice into squares and serving.
