Caramel Slice
"I started making this 30+ years ago for the DH - from a Nestles condensed milk can, the DH prefers it without the chocolate topping so I have omitted it, never done it. I've only recently just started to make this again for him, don't know why I stopped doing so in the first place, so it has been a rediscovery."

Very and very tasty. These have wonderful coconutty, caramelly sweet flavor and are nice n chewy. I was told by DH that these disappeared in the blink of an eye once his crew got wind of them. Thanks for a lovely bar, Pat. -
Sooooooo yummy, Was very easy to make and even better to eat, I will make again and again. THankyou -
Delicious! This bar tastes like a super-easy substitute for my grandmother's burnt sugar cake. I'm afraid I shouldn't have used the sweetened coconut though, because my crust is considerably thinner than the one in Jubes' photos. I had both kinds of coconut on hand & knew I should have used unsweetened. ;) I will next time! I subbed light corn syrup for the golden syrup & used dark brown sugar. I also made use of my Perfect Brownie Pan, but wish I'd refrigerated the baked bars before pressing the cutter down into them, as the soft caramel topping was pushed down slightly when I did that. Presentation aside, these bars are so rich & so addicting that I can't stay out of them! I agree, they don't need any chocolate at all. We'll be making them again & again! Thanks for sharing, Pat!

*Reviewed for Aussie Forum Recipe Tag Game* Fantastic! Pat- we really enjoyed this recipe. I made the base using a blended gluten-free flour and added in a 1/4 cup of almond meal. Otherwise made as per the recipe. This slice is a breeze to make- comes together really quickly. I agree this slice really doesn't need a chocolate topping. My whole family loved this one.

I'm not quite sure how to describe these wonderful treats. They are absolutely delicious! I used honey for the golden syrup. Thanks Pat! I will make these again! Made for Every Day is a Holiday!

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
