Overview
No Bake Caramel Slice
By Amy // Posted Jan 12, 2021 // Category Cupcakes and cakes
I love my new No Bake Caramel Slice because it’s so easy to make! It takes around 20 mins to make and all you need to do is let it set in the fridge.
Unlike many slices, this one isn’t too sweet. I wanted to balance the sweetness from the caramel with the buttery scotch finger cookie base and also the dark chocolate.
You’ll find that the caramel calls for some golden syrup. You’ll find that it gives the caramel an extra depth in flavour.

tips
1. Grease the tin
Spray some oil or put some melted butter on the tin so that the baking paper stays on the tin and doesn’t move around. It will also make it easier for you to take out the caramel slice when it is ready. Simply pull on the baking paper on all sides until it comes out.
2. Crushing cookies
The easiest way to crush cookies would be to use a food processor to blitz them into fine crumbs. I sometimes use blenders as well, it takes longer but it still helps you get finer crumbs. You can always do it manually as well. Put the cookies into the large ziplock bag and crush it with a rolling pin.
3. No golden syrup?
Sometimes known as light treacle, golden syrup is made from sugar cane. It’s usually made during the process of refining sugar cane. If you don’t have any, you can substitute it with maple syrup instead.
4. Melting chocolate
I’ve added the microwave melting method to this recipe. Place the chocolate in a microwave proof bowl and zap it for 30 seconds. Then you take it out and stir the chocolate around and then zap it again. You repeat this until the chocolate has melted. If you want, you can also try some other methods. I recommend a bain marie or melting it inside a ziplock bag.

Place cookies in a large Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or blitz in a food processor until they resemble fine-coarse crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a medium mixing bowl and add the melted butter and combine. When mixed thoroughly, place the cookie mixture into the bottom of the lined tin and press down until a equal thin cookie layer has formed. Put in the fridge to chill.
Add the condensed milk, butter, pinch of salt and syrup into a saucepan. Turn on the heat to medium and stir constantly for around 10 minutes, until the caramel turns a golden colour and thickens slightly. Place the caramel on top of the cookie base, ensuring the caramel has an equal layer. Place in the fridge.
Place the chocolate in a heat proof bowl. Microwave it in 30 second bursts, ensuring you mix the chocolate between microwaving. When the chocolate has melted, add the vegetable oil and mix. Place the chocolate on top of the caramel layer, ensuring the chocolate layer has been equally distributed.
Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let it set. Cut into 15 slices and store it in a airtight container. Consume within a week.
