ingredients

125 g butter, chopped
220 g caster sugar
395 g sweetened condensed milk
140 g roasted unsalted peanuts
200 g dark eating chocolate
20 g butter, extra

directions

Grease deep 19cm-square cake pan. Fold 40cm piece of foil lengthways into thirds; place foil strip over base and up two sides of pan (this will help lift the slice out of the pan). Line base with baking paper.
Combine butter, sugar and condensed milk in medium heavy-based saucepan; stir over medium heat, without boiling, until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil; stirring constantly, about 10 minutes or until caramel mixture becomes a dark-honey colour and starts to come away from the base and side of pan.
Working quickly and carefully (the mixture is very hot), pour caramel into pan; smooth with metal spatula. press nuts into caramel with spatula; cool 20 minutes.
Stir chocolate and extra butter in small heatproof bowl over small saucepan of simmering water until smooth; spread chocolate mixture over slice. Refrigerate until set. Use foil strip to lift slice from pan before cutting into squares.
