How to Make Chocolate Caramel Slice

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and line the bottom and sides with wax paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup desiccated coconut, and 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  4. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and mix until well combined.
  5. Firmly press the mixture into the prepared pan using the back of a spoon or spatula.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and slightly risen.
  7. While the base bakes, prepare the caramel:
  8. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup golden syrup, and 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk.
  9. Stir occasionally until the butter melts. Then, cook, stirring constantly, for 9-12 minutes, or until the caramel thickens and reaches a desired consistency.
  10. Remove from heat and carefully pour the caramel evenly over the baked base.
  11. Return the pan to the oven for an additional 10-12 minutes.
  12. Allow the slice to cool completely to room temperature.
  13. For the chocolate topping, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over very low heat.
  14. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  15. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  17. Using a sharp knife dipped in hot water (to prevent sticking), cut the slice into 12 squares while still in the pan.
  18. Carefully lift the slice out of the pan using the wax paper and serve.
