How to make Anzac caramel slice

  1. Prep your tin

    Preheat your oven to 180ºC and line a slice tin with baking paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal later.

  2. Make the biscuit base

    Blitz the Anzac biscuits in a food processor until they form fine crumbs.
    Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined.
    Press the mixture firmly into the base of your lined tin, making sure it’s nice and even. Pop it into the fridge to set slightly while you prepare the caramel.

  3. Make the caramel filling

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add the extra butter, golden syrup, and condensed milk.
    Stir continuously until everything is melted, smooth, and gently bubbling.

  4. Bake the slice

    Pour the caramel over the chilled base and spread evenly.
    Bake in the oven for 18 minutes, or until the caramel is set and slightly golden.
    Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

  5. Add the chocolate topping

    Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each burst until smooth.
    Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly.

  6. Chill and slice

    Place the slice in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
    Once firm, remove from the tin and cut into squares.
