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.

Steps:
- Line a small lamington tray with baking paper and set aside.
- Crush the biscuits in a food processor until they are broken into small pieces.
- In a saucepan, combine the butter, condensed milk and syrup.
- Melt, over low heat, continually stirring until the mixture is golden and quite thick. It will start coming away from the sides of the saucepan.
- Take off the heat and add to the biscuits.
- Mix well until all biscuit pieces are covered.
- Spread the mixture out in the prepared tray and push down to flatten.
- Set in the fridge while you melt the chocolate.
- Add the chocolate to a microwavable bowl.
- Heat in the microwave until melted, stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
- Spread the chocolate over the top of the slice and place the slice in the refrigerator.
- Leave in the fridge for a few hours until the chocolate is set.
- To cut, take the slice out of the fridge an let sit on the counter for about 10 minutes before cutting so as to not crack the chocolate.
- Enjoy!
NO-BAKE CARAMEL SLICE
I made this for a work morning tea and it was gone in minutes. This is quick and easy to make and tastes great. The cooking time is the refridgeration time. I microwave the chocolate just to cut the cooking time down. This originally came from a Family Circle magazine.
