Ingredients

• 150 grams rolled oats
• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 125 grams unsalted butter (melted)
• 400 grams sweetened condensed milk
• 3 tablespoons golden syrup
• 75 grams unsalted butter (for caramel layer)
• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch) square baking tin. Line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the ingredients are well combined and can hold together when pressed.

Step 3

Press the oat mixture firmly into the prepared baking tin to form an even base. Bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool while you prepare the caramel layer.

Step 4

To make the caramel layer, combine the sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a light golden color (approximately 8–10 minutes).

Step 5

Pour the caramel over the cooled oat base and spread it evenly with a spatula. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10–12 minutes until the caramel is set but still slightly soft. Allow to cool completely in the tin.

Step 6

For the chocolate topping, melt the dark chocolate and vegetable oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel layer and spread it evenly. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or place the slice in the fridge for faster setting.

Step 8

Once the chocolate has set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slice out of the tin. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife (for cleaner slices, wipe the knife with a warm, damp cloth between cuts).

Step 9

Serve and enjoy your rich and indulgent Oaty Chocolate Caramel Slice!
