Caramel Slices Recipes

Steps:

• For Base - Preheat oven to 180C/160Cfan forced/350°F.
• Mix all ingredients together.
• Press firmly into a tray (I use one 27cm x 18cm - approximately 10 1/2" x 7") .
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (should have a slight golden colour and still soft to the touch).
• Let cool while making filling.
• Filling - Put all ingredients into a small saucepan and cook over low heat till butter melted and well combined and takes on a golden colour (about 3 to 5 minutes).
• Pour over biscuit base and return to the oven for about 10 minutes.
• Let cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4. Grease and line the base of a 23cm/9inch shallow cake tin.
• Place the butter, flour and sugar in a food processor and process until they begin to bind together. Press the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 mins, or until golden.
• Meanwhile, make the filling. Place the butter, sugar, golden syrup and condensed milk in a saucepan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil and simmer for 6-8mins, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes very thick. Remove the shortbread base form the oven, pour over the filling and chill in the fridge until firm.
• To make the topping, melt the chocolate in the in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Remove from the heat, leave to cool slightly, and then spread over the caramel. Chill in the fridge until set. Cut into 12 pieces with a sharp knife and serve.
