Ingredients

• 150 g Unsalted butter
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 200 g All-purpose flour
• 400 g Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tbsp Golden syrup
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 200 g Milk chocolate
• 1 tsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8x8 inch) baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter (150g) and granulated sugar (50g) until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour (200g) and mix until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking tin to form the shortbread base. Use the back of a spoon to smooth it out.

Step 5

Bake the shortbread base for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

While the base cools, prepare the caramel layer. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine sweetened condensed milk (400g), golden syrup (2 tbsp), brown sugar (100g), and unsalted butter (100g).

Step 7

Stir the caramel mixture constantly for 8–10 minutes until it thickens and turns a golden brown color.

Step 8

Pour the caramel over the cooled shortbread base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow it to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

Step 9

For the chocolate topping, melt the milk chocolate (200g) in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted.

Step 10

Stir the vegetable oil (1 tsp) into the melted chocolate to achieve a glossy finish.

Step 11

Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer and spread it evenly. Gently tap the tin on the countertop to release any air bubbles.

Step 12

Refrigerate the slice for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set.

Step 13

Once set, remove from the tin and cut into 16 squares or slices using a sharp knife. For cleaner cuts, warm the knife slightly under hot water and wipe it dry before slicing.

Step 14

Serve and enjoy your Nancy Slice! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
