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

Product Information

Chocolate: I like to use a good quality dark chocolate for my caramel slice topping. You know, to balance out the intense sweetness just a tad. But of course you can use any chocolate – milk, white, caramel (Caramilk!), Mint, or any other kind you can think of. You could use any biscuit you fancy I went for a hobnob simply because they are my favourite. You could use any plain biscuit or if you want to use a chocolate biscuit or a biscuit with a filling head down to the alternatives section below for the alter amounts.

Push the mixture into your tart tin. I found it easiest to put all the biscuit mixture into the centre of the tart tin and then push it into the sides. I used this loose bottomed base tart tin because I find it easier to get the tart out once it is finished. Salt – When teamed up with unsalted butter, adding salt gives the best control of the overall flavour. In a small saucepan over a low-medium heat (or in bowl in 10 second intervals in the microwave) melt together the butter (125g | 1/2 Cup + 1 tbsp) and golden syrup (1 tbsp) then set aside to cool. Growing up, I sampled LOTS of versions of this delicious, decadent slice. So I know what a good one tastes like ;-).Golden Syrup – This is a really key ingredient for both flavour and texture but I realise it’s not available everywhere in the world. Corn syrup is a good alternative if you can’t get it.

Step 6: Pour the caramel onto the biscuit base and smooth it out. Pop into the freezer or fridge just while you melt the chocolate for the top. What a better way to celebrate the new season–whether its the newest season in the UK or the US Netflix series of Bake Off The Great British Baking Show–than with these Hobnobs? . Side note: the new season available on US Netflix is the season I watched here in the UK last year. Let me tell you, it’s a good one! Butter: I use unsalted, then add a small amount of salt to the caramel layer. But feel free to use salted butter instead if you’d prefer it to taste like a salted caramel slice. Mmm! For the caramel

For the caramel I would recommend using unsalted butter rather than a baking spread as it helps the caramel to set better. Related Posts Step 7: Melt the chocolate in the microwave. I usually do this in 30-second bursts until it’s almost completely melted (1.5 – 2 minutes). Then I stir well to finish melting. At this point you can add the drizzle of oil. The Guittard chocolate I dipped them in is delicious and I was much more generous with my biscuit to chocolate ratio than the shop bought kind. To make the base, I blitzed the hobnobs in a food processor until they resembled breadcrumbs. Next, I added in the melted butter and blitzed again until the mixture resembles wet sand. Related Posts

Sweetened condensed milk: Grab a tin of Nestle, or just a supermarket’s home brand. Either is fine. Just don’t grab evaporated milk by mistake. It’s not the same thing and won’t work in this recipe. a mixing bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until smooth and runny. Whisk in the eggs, then sift over the plain flour and whisk that in. Pour the mixture into the chilled biscuit case, then transfer to the oven, on a baking sheet, and bake for 50-60 minutes until set around the edges with a good wobble in the middle. Remove from the oven, cool and chill overnight.

Carefully spoon over some chocolate sauce over each biscuit to cover the layer of caramel. Make sure it goes all the down the sides too to cover the biscuits (if you wish!). Leave them to set for at least 2 hours…then you’re ready to enjoy! Bicarbonate of Soda – Essential for a little oomph. Don’t switch this out for baking powder as they do different things. Keep this in a container in the fridge until needed (this can be made ahead and kept for 1 week chilled).
