Ingredients
- 115 grams butter
- 225 grams brown sugar (1 cup + 1 tablespoon)
- 395 grams condensed milk (1 tin)
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
Instructions
- Grease a slice tin (approx 27 x 17 cm).
- Add all ingredients to a saucepan.
- Heat slowly over low heat to melt butter and dissolve sugar.
- Increase heat a little if necessary to bring to a slow simmer.
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
- The mixture should thicken and become darker. It's ready when the mixture is a dark, almost chocolate colour and comes away from the bottom of the saucepan as you stir it.
- Pour mixture into the greased tin.
- Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes and then score using a butter knife (to create 11 x 7 rows). Once completely cool you can break into small squares along these lines.
- Store in an airtight container.
