I make this today after 2 weeks of my 19 year old son nagging me..

I would make this alot when the kids were in school and the above son and his older brother would take extra for their friends , he said the boys at school were willing to buy it if I made more.



Ingredients:

BASE​

• 1 cup flour, plain/all purpose
• 1/2 cup brown sugar , loosely packed
• 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
• 125g unsalted butter , melted

CARAMEL FILLING​

• 125g unsalted butter , roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup brown sugar , loosely packed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (or essence)
• 395g sweetened condensed milk

CHOCOLATE TOPPING​

• 200g dark or milk chocolate I use Cadbury milk chocolate
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method :

BASE​

• Preheat oven to 180°C or (fan 160°C)
• Grease and line a 28x 18cm (lamington pan) rectangle pan with baking paper Have overhang for ease of removal.
• Mix together Base ingredients and press into a pan I use either back of a fork or spoon.
• Bake for 15 minutes until the surface is golden. Cool in fridge if you have time

CARAMEL​

• Lower oven to oven to 160°C/320°F (fan 140°C)
• Place butter, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan over medium low heat. When the butter is melted, whisk to combine with sugar, then just leave it until it comes to a simmer.
• When bubbles appear, add condensed milk. Whisk constantly for 5 minutes , until you start getting some big slow bubbles on the base.
• Once bubbles start appearing, whisk for 1 minute, then pour onto Base. Tilt pan to spread evenly.
• Bake for 12 minutes. Don't worry if you get splotchy brown bits (this happens with ovens that don't distribute heat evenly).
• Cool on counter for 20 minutes then refrigerate 30 minutes - bottom of pan should be warm but surface cool (not cold) to touch.

CHOCOLATE​

• Place chocolate and oil in a microwave proof bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until chocolate is fully melted (takes me 2 x 30 sec).
• Pour over caramel, spread with spatula. Then gently shake pan to make the surface completely flat.
• Refrigerate 1 hour or until set. Remove from fridge and leave out for 5 minutes to take chill out of chocolate slightly. Then cut into bars or squares to serve!

Enjoy !!!!

I'm not much of a cook. I usually only make 'Real'Rum Balls. But these recipes are too easy to leave alone. Thank you.
