We’re having a little family do tomorrow to celebrate the twin’s 1st birthday and I’ve had a very enjoyable afternoon of baking…….I decided it was time to try caramel slice for the first time and this recipe from Australian Women’s Weekly is definitely foolproof! I normally test a recipe before I make it for a special occassion but decided to just go for it….
1 cup SR flour
1 cup coconut
1 cup brown sugar
125g butter, melted
filling – 400g sweetened condensed milk, 30g butter and 2Tbsp Golden Syrup
topping 125g dark chocolate and 30g butter
– grease and line (the recipe didn’t ask you to line your tin but makes it so easy as you just lift the slice out) a lamington tin (I used a square tin instead)
– combine flour, coconut and sugar and mix in butter. Press into your tin and bake for 15 minutes in 180 degree oven.
– in the meantime combine milk, butter and golden syrup in a saucepan and stir continously over low heat for 15 minutes (do not boil and keep stirring!!!!)
– pour hot filling mixture over the top of your hot biscuit base and pop back in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
– Melt topping ingredients in a saucepan until combined and smooth and spread over the top of your slice. Leave to set and then cut and enjoy!!!!!! My chocolate has set perfectly since the photo was taken…I was just a bit too keen to try it out!
Looks sooo yummy. Hope that your twins birthday goes really well Corrie. You always celebrate in style! Fiona x
Yum!!
(And wicked too!)
Yumm! Are we invited to the party?
Oh that looks scrumptious! Just found your lovely blog whilst browsing…. Congrats for your twins 1st birthday- my two have just celebrated their 4th! Hope you all have fun 🙂
YUM OH!!!!
Hope the twin have a wonderful 1st birthday!!!! Mel xox
Delecious! Choc caramel slice might just have to be the first thing chocolate I eat at the chocolate chomp! 7 year drought on chocolate eating has to be acknowledged, for sure! Thanks for recipe! Amber
That looks so good!! Think I’ll give it a try tomorrow. Have a lovely party 🙂
That looks so familiar. I used to get that in my lunch box at school. It was one of my mother’s tried and true lunch box treats. Yumm.
Ooooh, this looks yummy. I’ve been eyeing some similar recipes that have a shortbread crust recently — I think I’d like the crunchiness of these even better!
Yum and a big happy birthday to the twins too. I really can’t believe it has been 12 months
Thanks for sharing the recipe, I’m love quick and easy slices! I can’t believe the twins are 1 already either, where did that time go?
You’re tempting me to do evil things… (Mr Moi is away and I was thinking I could perhaps cook the slice… for dinner?!)
I made this yesterday and it was delish (and super easy)! Thanks
I’ve just made this recipe for the third time.
Can’t get enough of it. So wickedly good!!!
Just made this…….mmmm lethal.
