How to Make Caramel Slice
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) standard / 160°C (320°F) fan-forced. Prepare an 8-inch square pan with baking paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- Mix sugar, flour, and coconut in a bowl. Add melted butter and combine until mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the pan to form an even layer. Bake for 12 minutes until slightly golden. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine condensed milk, butter, and syrup. Cook until golden and thickened, stirring constantly.
- Pour caramel over the crust and bake for another 12 minutes. Let it cool.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave, add oil, and pour over the caramel. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts over the chocolate topping before chilling.
