INGREDIENTS
BASE
- 175g flour (or gluten free flour)
- 1tsp baking powder
- 20g desiccated coconut
- 20g nib
- 90g brown sugar
- 125g butter, melted
CARAMEL
- 80g golden syrup
- 125g butter
- 2 x small tins condensed milk
- 200g crunchy peanut butter
- 25g 70% Cacao PNG Buttons, chopped
METHOD
- Mix together the base ingredients and press into a lined 18cm x 30cm slice tin.
- Bake the base for 12-15 minutes at 150°C.
- Heat the golden syrup, butter, and condensed milk gently on a low heat until melted, stirring the whole time to ensure it does not burn on the bottom. Cook until mixture thickens. This should take around four minutes.
- Add the peanut butter into the caramel mixture and stir until dissolved.
- Pour the caramel peanut butter mixture over the biscuit base and sprinkle over the chocolate.
- Bake for a further 12-15 minutes at 150°C until golden brown around the edges.
- Leave to cool before cutting.
Hot tip: To ensure all your slices are the same size, use a ruler to guide where you cut each piece. No more arguing over who gets the biggest piece!
