Golden Caramel Slice

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 125 gram butter, melted
• 395 gram sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoon golden syrup
• 60 gram extra butter
• 200 gram dark chocolate, chopped
• 2 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 28cm x 18cm slice tin with baking paper, leaving paper overhanging the long sides.
2. 2Mix the flour, coconut, brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl, then press firmly into the tin with the back of a spoon.
3. 3Bake the base for 12 minutes, until lightly golden.
4. 4Stir the condensed milk, golden syrup and extra butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat for 8 minutes, until thick and golden. Stir constantly so it does not catch.
5. 5Pour the caramel over the base and bake for a further 12 minutes, until golden at the edges. Cool completely in the tin.
6. 6Melt the chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until smooth.
7. 7Spread the chocolate over the cold caramel and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.
8. 8Lift the slice out using the paper and cut into squares with a large hot knife, wiping the blade between cuts.
