McVitie's Hobnobs Milk Chocolate & Salted Caramel Flavour Oaty Snack Bars 6 Pack (180g)

Product Information

I’m not sure if people still want baking recipes, I understand that some ingredients are really hard to get hold of. However, baking is so rewarding, it can help to lift your mood, it’s a lovely bit of escapism and it’s great way to let people know you care. Golden syrup: This is actually an optional ingredient, since it can be difficult to find in some places. Just a couple of tablespoons does give the caramel an extra depth of flavour (that’s hard to describe!), but you can easily replace it with another kind of syrup (corn, maple, honey, date). Or just skip it altogether! Growing up, I sampled LOTS of versions of this delicious, decadent slice. So I know what a good one tastes like ;-). In a small bowl, melt the butter and golden syrup together in the microwave in 10 second intervals. Set aside to cool.

For the caramel I would recommend using unsalted butter rather than a baking spread as it helps the caramel to set better. Related Posts

Whip the cream to soft peaks and fold the chocolate into the cream until combined. Place spoonfuls of chocolate mix over the caramel layer, and spread gently to cover. If you want a smooth surface, dip a palette knife in very hot water, wipe dry, and spread over the chocolate to smooth. Return to the fridge to set for at least 4hr or overnight.
