Indulgent choc caramel slice!

Mum wanted to attempt this recipe yesterday and as a big fan of caramel slice (huge cravings of it during pregnancy), I was all for it! Caramel slice isn't the easiest thing to make because it can get messy and not turn out quite right in terms of thickness and consistency. I've tried a lot of caramel slice in my time and can't say any of them were exactly the same! The result of this recipe was a very thick decadent slice and the review from Chance was "this is delicious".

Chocolate caramel slice

Ingredients:
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
125g butter, melted
100g butter, extra
2 x 395g cans of condensed milk
1/3 cup golden syrup
200g dark or milk chocolate( we used milk but if you prefer less sweet use dark)
1 Tbsp vegetable oil

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180 C/160 C fan-forced. Grease and line a rectangular pan with baking paper, about 18cm by 28cm. Ours was a bit smaller which meant really thick slice but you don't want anything bigger as the slice will be too thin.
2. In a bowl, sift flour and combine with sugar and coconut. Add melted butter. Mix well.
3. Press mixture firmly in to prepared pan and bake for 15-20mins or until lightly browned. Cool.
4. Place extra butter, condensed milk and golden syrup in a medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until all combined and smooth. Pour over base and bake for another 20-25mins until golden. Cool.
5. Combine chocolate and oil in heat-proof bowl and place over saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth and pour evenly over slice.
6. Make sure you CUT your slice before placing in fridge to cool otherwise the chocolate will crack. Cool in fridge for about an hour or until chocolate has hardened slightly. Enjoy!
