Caramel Slice with Chocolate Topping
The base is baked in the oven, the caramel ingredients are melted in he microwave. Make sure you use a large bowl for this and watch the caramel mixture carefully when its in the microwave. Slice this before the chocolate hardens or it will be too hard to cut cleanly.

- 1/4 cup (60g) caster sugar

- Grease and line a 20cm square tin. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C.
- Put the flour and sugar into a bowl and rub in 175g of butter, clumping the dough together to make a ball. Press this sandy shortbread mixture into the tin and smooth it down.
- Prick with a fork and cook for five minutes, then lower the oven to 150 C, and cook for a further 30-40 minutes until pale golden and no longer doughy. Allow to cool in the tin.
- Melt the remaining 200g of butter in a large microwavable bowl, then the add condensed milk and golden syrup. Whisk the mixture well until the butter is thoroughly incorporated.
- Heat in microwave for 6-7 minutes until boiling, stirring thoroughly every minute. It's ready when it's thickened and turned a light golden brown. Pour this caramel over the shortbread and leave to set.
- Melt chocolate and pour it over the caramel mixture. When it's cooled enough to hold shape, cut into the size of slices you want. Then let the slice cool completely before serving.

Something else. I cooked the caramel is a saucepan then i could control how quickly it came to the boil stirring all the time - 28 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
I followed this recipe to the letter and I had a problem with the caramel. I found the microwave technique of cooking it awkward as it went from barely tepid to suddelny boiling all over my microwave. I don't know if this recipe requires that the caramel is allowed to boil for a while but using the microwave method it is impossible and only boils for a second before making a huge mess. Anyway, I am assuming it is this that caused the caramel then not to set. So, the result: The biscuit was perfect. The caramel was very sloppy. the chocolate was a little thick and needed a huge whack with a big knife to cut through it (which resulted in uneven "slices" and also made the caramel squidge out the sides even more). It did taste gorgeous but it was a knife and fork job and on day two was eaten with custard, which was delicious. But certainly did not look like the picture! What should be done to make the caramel firm!?? - 22 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
