Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides overhang (this will make it easier to remove the slice later).
- In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, flour and coconut. Whisk to combine. Add melted butter and stir until moist. Mixture should resemble wet sand.
- Place mixture into baking pan and press down to form one even layer. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes or until the crust is slightly golden on the edges. Remove from oven and set aside while you make the caramel.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, add sweetened condensed milk, butter and syrup (if using). Place on a medium heat and stir constantly until the butter melts. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until caramel turns golden brown and thickens slightly. This takes at least 10 minutes so be patient!
- Once caramel has thickened, remove from heat and stir in a pinch of salt. Pour over shortbread crust. Then bake for another 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Leave to cool for 30 minutes (sprinkle over extra sea salt if you like) before adding chocolate topping.
- Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Once chocolate is melted and smooth, add oil and stir. Then pour over caramel layer. Spread out into one even layer and then place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to cool and set.
- When you're ready to serve, carefully lift slice out of baking tin and cut into small squares. If it's too hard to cut (for example, if you left it in the fridge overnight), just let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or so and it will soften slightly.
CHOCOLATE CARAMEL TRAY-BAKE SLICE
This slice is NOT for the diet concious! Very rich and very yummy and did I mention very easy! You can substitute chocolate for a different kind, but if you use a chocolate with a creamy filling freeze the chocolate for an hour before using.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 180C no fan/160C fan forced. Grease and line base and sides of a 16cm x 26cm slab pan with baking paper, allowing a 2cm overhang on both long sides.
- Combine the flour, brown sugar and desiccated coconut in a bowl. Add butter and stir to combine. Press mixture over the base of the prepared pan. Bake 10-15 minutes or until light golden. Set aside to cool.
- Scatter the broken chocolate over the cooled base. Sprinkle with shredded coconut. Drizzle condensed milk over the slice, tap the pan on the bench to settle the milk. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until edges are golden and centre is firm to touch. Allow slice to cool completely in pan and when completely cook, cut into pieces to serve.
