My favourite! I have made this easy caramel slice recipe a couple of times, and have tweaked the original version to make it even better (lush, rich, and just right!).
I will definately be making this on the weekend when the girls come over for afternoon tea.
Easy Chocolate Caramel Slice Recipe Ingredients
- 2/3 cup self raising flour
- 2/3 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
- 80 g butter
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk*
- 2 tblspns butter
- 2 tblspns golden syrup
- 100g dark chocolate & 50g milk chocolate (I use lindt)
Easy Chocolate Caramel Slice Recipe Base Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Combine the self raising flour, coconut and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Melt the 80g of butter, pour into the bowl and mix well to combine with the other ingredients.
Grease a lamington pan (15cm x 25cm x 4cm deep) and line with baking paper. Fill pan with the base mixture and press down firmly and evenly using a glass.
Place in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the base has risen and browned slightly.
Easy Chocolate Caramel Slice Recipe Filling Method
While the base is cooking, make the filling. Combine the sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup and additional butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over a medium heat and then stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Allow to cool for a few moments. Once the base is cooked, remove for the oven and evenly spread the filling over. Return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the sides have started to bubble. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Easy Chocolate Caramel Slice Recipe Topping Method
Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave proof bowl. Microwave on medium low heat for 30 seconds at a time (stirring after each zap) until chocolate has melted. Spread evenly over filling.
Allow to cool completely, then place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. Remove from the fridge and cut into squares.
**Sweetened condensed milk is a sweet syrupy milk based product made by Nestle.

Hi I made this recipe for my parents. They both enjoyed it and I loved it. I had to try the filling again cause the first time burnt but i was doing other things at the same time. :/. i will be doing this recipe again.
Thanks

Hey Jessica, sounds like you can’t cook for shit, no offence.
My 12 year old daughter made this recipe & it was fantastic. Made a double quantity & it all went with in a couple of days. 10/10
Hi Katrina
Glad it worked for your daughter! It is a great recipe, although I try not to make it too often… as it gets gobbled up far too quickly!
Cheers

Could I make this without golden syrup, or what could I use instead of it?
Thanks
Hi Belinda
You could leave it out, or you could substitute honey (although this will alter the taste slightly).
Cheers

My sister made this today and it’s DELICIOUS! Great recipe… Jessica – one needs to use their own discretion with cooking times; it’s less about the time and more about when it’s ready, regardless of stated times. Cooking times will always vary depending on stoves/ovens/weather
Hey Clair, you’d be pleased to know I finally got around to making this recipe. I had a bit of trouble making the filling though. I think maybe the saucepan got too hot so the caramel filling started to burn. hehe You may find it amusing to know that I ended up saving the filling by smooshing it through a strainer to get all the burnt lumps out. LOL! It worked a treat because they taste delicious! thanks
