Caramel Slice
Ingredients:
Base:
1 cup self-raising flour, 1 cup dessicated coconut, 1 cup brown sugar firmly packed, 125g melted butter
Filling:
400g can (300mL) sweetened condensed milk, 30g butter, 2 tbsp golden syrup
Topping:
Steps: Preheat oven to moderate, 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a 20 x 20cm square pan. To make the base, combine the flour, coconut, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter and stir until well combined, then press the mixture down firmly and evenly over the base of the prepared pan. Bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes.
To make the filling, add the milk, butter and golden syrup to a small saucepan. Stir over medium heat, without boiling, for approximately 15 minutes or until the mixture is golden brown. Pour the hot filling over the base, and then return to the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and Leave to Cool.
To make the topping, add the chocolate and butter into a small saucepan and stir over low heat until smooth. Spread the warm topping over the filling and stand at room temperature until set. Cut into squares and serve!
Tip! When melting together the chocolate and butter together, do not overheat; otherwise the chocolate topping will dry out! This will present a problem when you attempt to spread the topping and find that it stays as one large congealed chocolate mass. If this happens, add some milk (NOT water) and melt it again until it is smooth.
You can also put the caramel slice in the fridge/freezer for a handy snack later on as it will keep for longer!

I wish I had a swimming pool full of caramel slices... I'd swim and eat them all!
Too oaty?!? I'm outraged on your behalf! Can this aforementioned offender even cook, because if not, perhaps they are just trying to justify their own lack of skills. I didn't use any oats in my recipe? hmmm.... perhaps the aforementioned offender just prefers a very thin base?
firstly I am sure that your caramel slice was great, anyone who insults someone else's caramel slice should be hung by their short and curlies I say.
