Healthier Caramel Slice

Here's another very scrummy recipe from Shelley at Santosha Health Coaching. 

It's a healthier version of the classic caramel slice, nice to have a delicious slice that is not made with colours and flavours and additives. 

Muesli crumble base and topping
3 cups muesli Te Atatu Toasted Healthy Blend Muesli
½ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
125 g butter
4 tablespoons coconut oil

Caramel filling
3-4 tablespoons golden syrup
60 g butter
1 395g can sweetened condensed milk

Chocolate layer
200g @whittakersnz Dark Ghana
1 tbsp olive or coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS
Place muesli, brown/coconut sugar, butter and coconut oil in a food processor and blitz until very fine and crumbly and the mixture holds together when pinched between your fingers.

Press the mixture into a lined 20 x 30cm baking tray. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool while you make the filling.

To make caramel filling, place butter and golden syrup in a pot and stir over low-medium heat until the butter has melted. Turn off the heat and stir in condensed milk until smooth.

Pour caramel all over the base and gently smooth out. Return to oven to bake for a further 20-25 minutes or until crumble topping is golden and caramel is bubbling and darkening a bit at the edges. Remove from oven and leave to cool before placing in the freezer or fridge to set and cutting into pieces (it’s up to you how far it goes, but because it's so decadent I reckon you can get 30 or so pieces out of it).
