Key Ingredients for Caramel Caramilk Loaded Slice

Plain Biscuit Crumbs & Coconut: Combines with melted butter to build the golden crust.

Sweetened Condensed Milk: The secret for thick, creamy, effortless baked caramel.

Golden Syrup & Butter: Adds deep butterscotch flavor notes to the caramel layer.

Cadbury Caramilk Chocolate: Melted over the top for signature caramel-white-chocolate flavor.

Caramilk Chunks & Sea Salt: Flaky sea salt and crushed chocolate pieces for garnish.

Baker’s Note: Bake the caramel layer until it just starts to bubble and turn light golden at the edges; over-baking makes the caramel hard instead of soft and chewy! For more baking tips, check out BBC Good Food’s slice guide.

How to Make Caramel Caramilk Loaded Slice

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×11 inch slice pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix crushed plain biscuits, desiccated coconut, and melted butter; press firmly into the pan and bake for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Whisk sweetened condensed milk, butter, and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat until smooth, then pour over baked crust.

Step 4: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until golden and set, then cool completely at room temperature.

Step 5: Pour melted Caramilk chocolate over the cooled caramel, sprinkle flaky sea salt, and refrigerate before slicing into squares.

Raya’s Secret Tips for Success

Score Before Chilling: Score lines on top of the Caramilk chocolate layer before it sets completely to prevent cracking when slicing.

Use Flaky Sea Salt: A pinch of sea salt on top cuts through sweetness and enhances caramel notes.

Line Pan Generously: Leave parchment overhang on sides to lift the entire slice out easily once set.

How to Serve Caramel Caramilk Loaded Slice

Slice into small squares and serve alongside a hot cup of tea, flat white coffee, or cold milk! Because this slice is rich and decadent, small bite-sized portions are perfect for afternoon tea spreads, holiday platters, or bake sales.

Delicious Variations

Caramilk Macadamia Slice: Scatter toasted chopped macadamia nuts over the coconut base.

White Chocolate Passionfruit Slice: Swirl passionfruit pulp through the white chocolate topping.

Pretzel Crunch Caramilk Slice: Add crushed salted pretzels to the biscuit base for extra crunch.
