Cookin' in the Kitchen

Being winter here, and a pretty cold and dark one at that, there's nothing better than something sweet to brighten my morning tea or afternoon tea for that matter. So tonight I have been baking, in this new apron I got today, I mentioned the other day my caramel slice and seriously it is sooooo good! Rd loves it, an easy way to a man's heart! So here is the very simple recipe for you:

Chocolate Caramel Slice

For the base:
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup desicated coconut
125g butter melted

Combine ingredients into a greased lamington (19 x29cm) tin bake at 180 degrees celcius for 10 minutes.

Filling:
400g tin of condensed milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup

Combine in a saucepan and stir until boilling, cook and stir for 5 minutes. Spread over hot base and return to oven for a further 10 minutes.

Let cool and top with 150g of melted milk chocolate. Let set before cutting.

Trust me it's good!
