CARAMEL SLICE
I started making this 30+ years ago for the DH - from a Nestles condensed milk can, the DH prefers it without the chocolate topping so I have omitted it, never done it. I've only recently just started to make this again for him, don't know why I stopped doing so in the first place, so it has been a rediscovery.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 160ºC (fan oven). Grease and line an 18cm x 28cm tin. Base Beat egg and sugar until thick and pale. Add oil and beat until well combined. Fold in combined, sifted flours.

Stir for 5 minutes until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Simmer, without stirring for 10 minutes until caramelised, add nuts. Pour topping over base and work quickly spread evenly. Bake for another 10-12 minutes. Cool in pan. Drizzle over melted chocolate. Cut into pieces to serve.
Tips:
1. Use the right pan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan is best for making caramel, as it will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the caramel from burning. 2. Cook the caramel slowly: Don't rush the process of making caramel. Cook it over medium heat and stir constantly, allowing it to gradually darken and thicken. 3. Don't overcook the caramel: Overcooked caramel will be bitter and too hard. As soon as the caramel reaches a deep amber color, remove it from the heat. 4. Be careful when adding the butter and cream: The caramel will be very hot when you add the butter and cream, so be careful not to splatter it. Add the butter and cream in small increments, stirring constantly until they are fully incorporated. 5. Let the caramel cool completely: Before you spread the caramel on the base or assemble the slice, let it cool completely. This will help it to set properly. 6. Use a sharp knife to cut the slice: A sharp knife will help to prevent the caramel from crumbling when you cut it.Conclusion:
Caramel slice is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for picnics, parties, or simply as a sweet treat at home. With a few simple tips, you can easily make a caramel slice that is both delicious and impressive. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give caramel slice a try!
