Carefully spoon over some chocolate sauce over each biscuit to cover the layer of caramel. Make sure it goes all the down the sides too to cover the biscuits (if you wish!). Leave them to set for at least 2 hours…then you’re ready to enjoy! Tip some of the mixture into the oiled cake tin. Using your fingers and a metal spoon, flatten the biscuit mixture onto the base, then start to build up the sides, adding extra mixture and working it up the tin to form thin walls. Once you’ve used up all the mixture, chill the base in the fridge. Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. It’s the easiest way to make caramel slice! Throw it together at the last minute with a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. It’s a great one for the kids to help with, too!

Once the chocolate is two thirds melted, don't heat anymore - just stir until it's completely melted.

a mixing bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until smooth and runny. Whisk in the eggs, then sift over the plain flour and whisk that in. Pour the mixture into the chilled biscuit case, then transfer to the oven, on a baking sheet, and bake for 50-60 minutes until set around the edges with a good wobble in the middle. Remove from the oven, cool and chill overnight. In a small bowl, melt the butter and golden syrup together in the microwave in 10 second intervals. Set aside to cool.The ‘problem’ is, with its 3 delicious sweet layers, it can be labour-intensive to make. That issue is solved with this very easy recipe for caramel slice. Hobnobs get their flavor from oats and a lovely ingredient called golden syrup, a British baking staple. Golden syrup is an invert sugar (like corn syrup) that prevents sugar crystals from forming, so they’re used in caramel and candy-making. Like its name indicates, golden syrup has an amber, golden color. Golden syrup, unlike corn syrup, has a rich flavor that’s not pure sugar; it tastes caramel-y and buttery which makes it a great addition to baking recipes. While golden syrup used to be super difficult to find in the US, it’s pretty easy to find online or at higher-end stores (I think possibly because of the popularity of Bake-Off). If you can’t find it, you can absolutely substitute a mild honey. That said, I do think it’s worth the effort of finding the golden syrup. Salt – When teamed up with unsalted butter, adding salt gives the best control of the overall flavour. You could use any biscuit you fancy I went for a hobnob simply because they are my favourite. You could use any plain biscuit or if you want to use a chocolate biscuit or a biscuit with a filling head down to the alternatives section below for the alter amounts.

Golden syrup: This is actually an optional ingredient, since it can be difficult to find in some places. Just a couple of tablespoons does give the caramel an extra depth of flavour (that’s hard to describe!), but you can easily replace it with another kind of syrup (corn, maple, honey, date). Or just skip it altogether! This caramel is the same as the one I used in my Millionaire Blondies. I started by adding all my ingredients to a large saucepan and heating on a low/medium heat. Stir continuously until all the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. To make the salted caramel, heat the tinned caramel, butter and 3tbsp water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, then continue cooking over a medium/high heat for 10min, until it reaches 105°. Remove from the heat and stir in sea salt flakes. Leave to cool for 15min before pouring into the tart tin. Transfer to the fridge and chill for 1hr.Sweetened condensed milk: Grab a tin of Nestle, or just a supermarket’s home brand. Either is fine. Just don’t grab evaporated milk by mistake. It’s not the same thing and won’t work in this recipe. Step 4: To make the caramel layer, pour the condensed milk into a medium saucepan. Then add the butter, salt and golden syrup if using. Melt the chocolate in a microwavable bowl in 10 second intervals. Stir really well between each time. Push the mixture into your tart tin. I found it easiest to put all the biscuit mixture into the centre of the tart tin and then push it into the sides. I used this loose bottomed base tart tin because I find it easier to get the tart out once it is finished.

Next, I added in the melted butter and blitzed again until the mixture resembles wet sand.

For the chocolate filling, melt both chocolates over a pan of simmering water or in a microwave. Set aside to cool to room temperature. Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold the chocolate into the cream until combined. Place spoonfuls of chocolate mix over the caramel layer, and spread gently to cover. If you want a smooth surface, dip a palette knife in very hot water, wipe dry, and spread over the chocolate to smooth. Return to the fridge to set for at least 4hr or overnight.
