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:
- For Base - Preheat oven to 180C/160Cfan forced/350°F.
- Mix all ingredients together.
- Press firmly into a tray (I use one 27cm x 18cm - approximately 10 1/2" x 7") .
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (should have a slight golden colour and still soft to the touch).
- Let cool while making filling.
- Filling - Put all ingredients into a small saucepan and cook over low heat till butter melted and well combined and takes on a golden colour (about 3 to 5 minutes).
- Pour over biscuit base and return to the oven for about 10 minutes.
- Let cool completely before cutting.
Tips:
- For a richer caramel slice, use brown sugar instead of white sugar.
- Add a pinch of salt to the caramel mixture to enhance the flavor.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel, as it can quickly burn.
- Allow the caramel to cool completely before pouring it onto the biscuit base.
- For a neater slice, chill the caramel slice for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
- Serve the caramel slice with whipped cream or ice cream for a truly indulgent dessert.
