\"Chocolate<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t you hate it when you try a new recipe that you find in a magazine or on a can somewhere, you absolutely love it, and then you can’t find it when you want to make a copy of it!  Well, a couple of weeks ago I found a great recipe for Chocolate Caramel Slice on the side of a can of Condensed Milk, and before I could copy it down someone decided to take out the recycling.  No-one ever takes out the recycling in this house without being asked at least twice!  But on this particular Sunday evening someone did, and even when I went to the shops and inspected each and every can of condensed milk on their shelves my  recipe was nowhere to be found.  Until this afternoon!  I bought a bag of White Wings Plain Flour and there it was, my Chocolate Caramel Slice recipe, right there on the back of the bag!  This time I am taking no chances, and even though after a week of stomach bugs in our house, a slice is the last thing we feel like, I’m posting it because it’s the yummiest slice I’ve had since I discovered my Passionfruit and Lemon Slice<\/a>.  And the next time I find a recipe I absolutely have to keep, I’m going to copy it down or cut it out and stick it in my recipe file.  Lesson Learned!<\/p>\n

2 Tbl Golden Syrup<\/p>\n

50g Butter, melted<\/p>\n

Topping:<\/strong><\/p>\n

150g Milk Cooking Chocolate, melted (I wanted a thick top, so I think I used more like 250g!)<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 180C conventional or 160C fan-forced.<\/p>\n

Grease and line a 20cm square cake pan or a slice tin with baking paper, extending 3cm above sides.<\/p>\n

Press mixture into base of prepared pan.<\/p>\n

Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.<\/p>\n

Set aside to cool.<\/p>\n

Place all filling ingredients into a medium saucepan and stir continuously with a wooden spoon over a moderate heat for 10 minutes or until thick and pale golden.<\/p>\n

Spread filling over cooled base.<\/p>\n

Bake for 6-8 minutes or until filling begins to brown around the edges.<\/p>\n

Cool, then refrigerate for 2 hours. (I only waited about 1\/2 hour because I’m impatient)<\/p>\n

Spread melted chocolate topping over cold filling.<\/p>\n

Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until chocolate has just set.<\/p>\n

Remove slice from pan and cut into pieces.<\/p>\n

Store slice in refrigerator, if there is any left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
