Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a 20x20 cm square baking tin with baking paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a medium saucepan, combine 150 g butter, 1 can (395 g) sweetened condensed milk, 100 g brown sugar, and 2 tbsp golden syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 10 minutes until mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color.
  3. Step 3: Remove caramel from heat and stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 200 g roughly crushed digestive biscuits until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Press the caramel and biscuit mixture evenly into the prepared tin and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  5. Step 5: Melt 200 g dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled caramel base, spreading evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the chocolate is firm.
  7. Step 7: Lift the slice out using the paper overhang and cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
