A little bit caramel slice for Valentines Day

For the boy who surprised me at my bus stop after work with a bunch of flowers

Read about the first time I made it here

The recipe is the same Donna Hay, just less caramel filling to make it less sweet :)

Caramel Slice

base:
1 cup plain flour
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
1/2 cup brown sugar
125 gr butter, melted

filling:
1/4 cup golden syrup
94 gr butter, chopped
1.5 cans of sweetened condensed milk

chocolate topping:
200 gr Old Gold 70% Dark Chocolate
1 Tbsp vegetable oil (I use rice bran oil)

1. Place the flour, coconut, brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl and mix well to combine
2. Press into a lined slice tin with the back of a spoon
3. Bake at 180C for 15-20 mins or until golden
4. To make the caramel filling, place golden syrup, butter and condensed milk in a medium saucepan over low heat.
5. Stir until butter has melted and the caramel has thickened slightly
6. Pour over cooked, slightly cooled base and bake for a further 20 mins or until golden
7. Refrigerate until cold
8. Place chopped chocolate and oil in a bowl over boiling water and stir until melted
9. Pour over caramel top and spread with the back of a spoon. Add sprinkles if you wish
10. Refrigerate until set then cut into slices

For all the tips on how to melt chocolate successfully and how to cut the slices, read about it in my previous post here

And to conclude,

This cyclone makes me want to stay at home and bake brownies
