Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine 200 g crushed digestive biscuits with 100 g melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the prepared pan.
  2. Step 2: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 can (395 g) sweetened condensed milk, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 60 g unsalted butter, and 2 tbsp golden syrup. Stir continuously and cook for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color.
  3. Step 3: Pour the caramel evenly over the biscuit base and sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped roasted macadamia nuts on top, pressing gently.
  4. Step 4: Melt 150 g chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel and nuts layer.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the slice for at least 3 hours until set. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
