Recipe: Hazelnut & chocolate salted caramel slice

This is a very decadent slice, and it makes heaps! It's probably best made when you need to feed quite a large crowd and or can take the leftovers to work for others to eat!

Ingredients:

125g butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

1 Cup Self raising flour

½ cup plain flour

½ cup firmly packed brown sugar

120g skinned hazelnuts, chopped

200g dark chocolate, chopped (I used Lindt 70% for cooking)

2 x tins caramel top 'n' fill

½ teaspoon salt (or to your taste)

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Grease & line a lamington tin.

2. Combine the melted butter and vanilla paste.

 
3. Mix together the 2 flours and brown sugar in a large bowl, breaking up any large lump of brown sugar.

4. Add the melted butter into the flour and combine well.

5. Place into the base of lamington pan, spread out using your fingers. Use a flat bottomed glass to pack down firmly.

 

6. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Set aside and allow to cool.  

7. Mix together the chopped hazlenuts and chocolate.

8.

 

9. Spread caramel over the cooled base. Sprinkle the nuts and chocolate over the top.

 

10. Bake for 15-20 mins until the caramel is set. You will need to allow to cool and set in the fridge for a few hours or overnight before serving.
