When I started making this slice I initially just wanted to make a chocolate crackle slice. And then I thought – this needs caramel! So I did.

This buttery, crumbly, melt-in-your mouth slice is a favourite in my family. This like the traditional scottish shortbread sold in pretty tins at Christmas time. In fact, I often make this as a Christmas gift.

This recipe, as in the one I’m currently writing, which I’m going to go out and say is game-changing for me. I have an obsession with Bakers Delights baked goods, and when I manage to successfully re-create them it’s a big moment in my life.
But this only helps if I remember to put them on the blog for easy baking access. Especially if I’ve altered the recipe at all. (more…)
