Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Rolled oats
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Almond extract
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 can (395 grams) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
- 75 grams Unsalted butter (extra)
- 200 grams Milk chocolate (chopped)
- 50 grams Dark chocolate (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) square baking tin with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar.
Add the melted unsalted butter, almond extract, and honey to the dry ingredients. Stir until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking tin to create the base layer. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface.
Bake the base in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until firm and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
To prepare the caramel filling, combine the sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, and extra unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low to medium heat.
Stir continuously for about 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and turns a golden caramel color.
Pour the caramel filling over the cooled oat base and spread it evenly. Return the tin to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the caramel bubbles slightly. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
For the chocolate topping, melt the milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and cream together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth consistency.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cooled caramel layer. Tilt the tin gently to spread the chocolate evenly, or use a spatula for a smooth finish.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate topping is set.
Once set, remove the slice from the tin and cut into 12 squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
Enjoy your Slice of Tuscany Oaty Caramel Slice with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat!
