Lou's Modern Caramel Slice
2 hours 30 minutes
This is a twist on the traditional caramel slice..My husband loves caramel slice and I find this is a quicker way to make it and easy to make bulk amounts.This recipe makes a slice roughly 25cm x 35cm but measurements can be halved. Stored in the fridge this will last a week (if there is any left after first day :) )

- Place the biscuits in a food processor to turn into fine crumbs. Then place in a large bowl with the coconut. Line a large deep oven tray with baking paper, I use a 2cm x 35cm one.
- In a saucepan combine the butter condensed milk and brown sugar and heat over a medium heat, stirring all the time, till sugar and butter dissolves and mixture darkens slightly. About 10mins.
- Pour the caramel mixture into the bowl with the biscuit crumbs and mix to combine. Spoon evenly into the prepared tray and press down firmly to bond it together.
- Lastly melt cooking chocolate in a saucepan over a low heat when smooth pour over top of slice and use a knife to smooth chocolate over the top.
