  by ellie brooks
Preperation time: 1 hour
Cooking time: 35 mins
Serves: 8

Recipe Ingredients
For the base:
175g plain flour;
115g unsalted butter;
50g caster sugar;

For the topping:
50g unsalted butter;
50g caster sugar;
405g sweetened condensed milk;
100g plain or milk chocolate.
 
Recipe Method
To make the base, put the flour and butter in a blender and whizz until it starts to bind. Add the sugar and mix until it forms a dough.

Roll out the dough and use to line a 28cm x 18cm baking tray, making sure the mixture is pressed into the corners. Bake in a preheated oven (180c) for 25-30 mins until golden.

Meanwhile, gently heat the butter, sugar and condensed milk together in a pan, until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins, stirring, until the mixture is thick and fudge-coloured. Pour over the biscuit base and leave to set.

When set, melt the chocolate and spread over the caramel. Leave to set. Cut into squares, should make about 28 squares.
