Chocolate Caramel Slice

Submitted by Chas in Melbourne

1 packet (250g) plain sweet biscuits

125 grams butter

1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

 3 tablespoons condensed milk

1 1/2 tablespoons golden syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

Mix butter, milk, sugar, vanilla and golden syrup over low heat until sugar is dissolved.
Pour over finely crushed biscuits and mix together.

Press into a 7 x 11 inch cake pan or a ‘Tupperware’ plastic box and refrigerate. Ice with melted milk chocolate, while still soft, not runny, run a fork over the top to give a ‘bark’ pattern. Cut into strips one way then diagonally across to give diamond shaped pieces.

In Australia, we have ‘morning coffee or Nice’ biscuits. For a slightly different flavour, use malt biscuits (malt-o-milk). Also, we can buy condensed milk in tubes and cans, tubes are ideal for this as you only need a small amount.
