Instructions
- Step 1: Line a 9x9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups crushed digestive biscuits with 1/2 cup (115 g) melted unsalted butter until crumbs are evenly coated. Press mixture firmly into the base of the pan and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup golden syrup, and 6 tbsp unsalted butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color, about 8-10 minutes.
- Step 3: Pour the caramel evenly over the biscuit base and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
- Step 4: In a heatproof bowl, melt 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips with 1 tbsp vegetable oil over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- Step 5: Pour melted chocolate over the set caramel layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Step 6: Cut into squares and serve chilled.
