Caramel slice

BASE:
1.5c regular flour
1tsp baking powder
125g melted butter
1/2c brown sugar

Mix all together and press into a lined baking tin approx 15cmx30cm. Bake at 180 deg C for 10 mins.

TOPPING:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2tbsp golden syrup (I used a bit extra)
1tbsp butter

Combine in a sauce pan, bring to the boil for approx 5 mins stirring constantly. Pour over baked base, a return to the oven for another 10 mins-15 mins until the centre is no longer liquidy.

ICING:
150g cooking chocolate
50g butter

Place butter and chocolate in a metal bowl. Boil water in a saucepan. Remove from heat and place the metal bowl firmly over the top. Do not let any water/steam get into the chocolate or it stiffens. Stir until chocolate is melted. Spread over the cooled filling.

Chill until chocolate is set then cut into slices using a warm knife. Store in a airtight container in the fridge.

This is REALLY hard to cut. I think I used a too small pan, resulting in a too thick base. Tom really loves it, I think it's too sweet... I don't usually like caramel slice anyway, it's the one thing in the world that I think is too sweet so no surprises there!
