Step 6: Pour the caramel onto the biscuit base and smooth it out. Pop into the freezer or fridge just while you melt the chocolate for the top. I’m not sure if people still want baking recipes, I understand that some ingredients are really hard to get hold of. However, baking is so rewarding, it can help to lift your mood, it’s a lovely bit of escapism and it’s great way to let people know you care.

To make the salted caramel, heat the tinned caramel, butter and 3tbsp water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally, then continue cooking over a medium/high heat for 10min, until it reaches 105°. Remove from the heat and stir in sea salt flakes. Leave to cool for 15min before pouring into the tart tin. Transfer to the fridge and chill for 1hr. McVities’s is just one of the big manufacturers chopping sugar from products. Last year Cadbury launched a new version of its Dairy Milk bar with 30% less sugar and has plans to release various other products in lower sugar versions. In a small bowl, melt the butter and golden syrup together in the microwave in 10 second intervals. Set aside to cool. Step 8: Spread the chocolate evenly over the top of the caramel shortbread. Then cover and pop into the fridge until set.

This follows the introduction of a sugar tax on soft drinks in 2018, which has seen the sugar content in fizzy drinks drop by an average 28.8%. Golden Syrup – This is a really key ingredient for both flavour and texture but I realise it’s not available everywhere in the world. Corn syrup is a good alternative if you can’t get it. Dr Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, said: “We’re pleased that McVitie’s is the latest household name to commit to offering healthier products. This caramel is the same as the one I used in my Millionaire Blondies. I started by adding all my ingredients to a large saucepan and heating on a low/medium heat. Stir continuously until all the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Oats – Real hobnobs use a combination of jumbo oats and rolled oats. Either will work great on their own though.These hobnobs are ten times better than the ones you can buy, which at the moment is a bonus because you might not be able to buy them 🙂 .

The ‘problem’ is, with its 3 delicious sweet layers, it can be labour-intensive to make. That issue is solved with this very easy recipe for caramel slice. For the biscuit crust, whiz hobnobs to fine crumbs in a food processor, then pulse in the cocoa and melted butter until well combined. Tip into a 23cm (9in) deep tart tin and using a spoon or your hands, press firmly into the base and up the sides. Chill while you make the filling. Step 4: To make the caramel layer, pour the condensed milk into a medium saucepan. Then add the butter, salt and golden syrup if using. Bicarbonate of Soda – Essential for a little oomph. Don’t switch this out for baking powder as they do different things. Transfer the caramel to a bowl, add 3 tbsp reserved juice from the oranges, then leave to cool (you can add more juice if the caramel sets too firmly as it cools). Tip the orange wedges onto a few layers of kitchen paper, then pat gently with more kitchen paper to dry them slightly.Now make the chocolate topping – gently heat the cashew butter, coconut oil and honey/maple syrup in a small pan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cacao powder until smooth. Melt the chocolate in a microwavable bowl in 10 second intervals. Stir really well between each time.

Push the mixture into your tart tin. I found it easiest to put all the biscuit mixture into the centre of the tart tin and then push it into the sides. I used this loose bottomed base tart tin because I find it easier to get the tart out once it is finished. Biscuits: The great thing is that you can use almost any biscuits you like to make the base. Since I’m in Australia, I tend to use plain sweet biscuits like Marie, Arrowroot, Scotch Fingers or Digestives. You could even try Anzac biscuits! In the UK, I’d try Rich Tea, Shortcake, Nice, Digestives or even Hobnobs. Use gluten free biscuits for a gluten free caramel slice, or how about ginger biscuits or Lotus Biscoff for something completely different?Flour – Self raising flour is best but if you don’t have any, you can use 125g of plain flour and 1.5 tsp of baking powder instead. Public Health England has a voluntary sugar reduction programme with food manufacturers and shops on products including cakes, chocolate, breakfast cereals, yogurts and biscuits.
