Ingredients:
- 100g chocolate (milk or dark)
- 120g caster sugar
- 170g flour
- 240g butter
- 2tbsp golden syrup
- 400g condensed milk
Instructions:
Step 1 - Preheat your oven to 170oC.
Step 2 - Grease a square cake tin with butter or margarine.
Step 3 - Sieve the flour into a bowl, along with half (60g) of the caster sugar.
Step 4 - Using your hands, rub half (120g) of the butter into the bowl until the mixture forms into dough.
Step 5 - Spread this dough evenly across the base of your square cake tin. Prick the dough all over using a fork.
Step 6 - Put the dough in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. It should be golden brown by the end of the cooking period.
Step 7 - Once the cake tin is in the oven, it's time to make the caramel! Place your condensed milk, your golden syrup, and the remaining sugar and butter in a saucepan. Use a low flame and stir continuously.
Step 8 - Is the caramel properly mixed? If so, remove it from the hob and - once your dough is out of the oven - pour it into the cake tin, covering the dough evenly. Leave to cool for half an hour.
Step 9 - While the caramel cools, boil some water on the hob. Break your chocolate into small pieces and place these pieces in a glass bowl. Set the bowl over the boiling water to melt the chocolate.
Step 10 - Once your caramel has cooled, pour the melted chocolate over the top to form that delicious third layer. Pop the finished product in the fridge for a while, and when it's cooled down properly, cut into squares.
