🟩 Caramel Crumble Slice

A delicious shortbread base covered with sticky caramel and a crumble topping. Think caramel slice with crunch!

Ingredients

• 200 g butter, at room temperature
• ½ cup caster sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ½ cups plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

Caramel filling

• 400 g can sweetened condensed milk
• 100 g butter
• 2 tbsp golden syrup

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160°C and line a medium (about 30cm x 24cm) sponge roll tin with baking paper.
2. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until pale and fluffy. Stir in flour and baking powder to form a soft, crumbly dough. Press two thirds of the mixture into prepared tray.
3. To make the Caramel Filling, heat condensed milk, butter and golden syrup in a small pot until butter is fully melted. Pour over slice base. Crumble remaining base mixture over the top and bake until golden and set (30-35 minutes). Allow slice to cool in the tin before slicing into about 30 pieces.

Enjoy as an occasional treat (avoid if you have blood sugar balance concerns or frequently experience afternoon slumps in energy)
