Lightly grease and line the base of your baking tray, making sure to leave an overhang. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Either in a stand mixer or a large bowl using an electric hand whisk, cream together the {@1:} and {@0:} until light and fluffy.

Either in a stand mixer or a large bowl using an electric hand whisk, cream together the Unsalted Butter (125 gram) [Room Temperature] and Golden Caster Sugar (50 gram) until light and fluffy.

Either in a stand mixer or a large bowl using an electric hand whisk, cream together the Unsalted Butter (125 gram) and Golden Caster Sugar (50 gram) until light and fluffy.

Then sift in the {@0:} & add {@1:}. Mix until you get a crumbly dough.

Then sift in the All-Purpose Flour (175 gram) & add Salt (1 pinch). Mix until you get a crumbly dough.

Tip this straight out into the prepared tray, flatten out as evenly as you can then prick the base all over with a fork. Pop into the oven to bake for about 15-20 mins until just turning golden on top. Leave to one side to cool whilst you make the caramel.

Add {@0:}, {@3:}, {@1:}, {@4:}, {@2:} and {@5:} into a large, heavy-based saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved then bring to the boil, stirring often.

Add Sweetened Condensed Milk (200 gram), Unsalted Butter (125 gram), Golden Caster Sugar (125 gram), Golden Syrup (2 tablespoon), Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon) and Salt (1 pinch) into a large, heavy-based saucepan and set over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved then bring to the boil, stirring often.

Once boiling, stir continuously and fairly vigorously. If it catches on the bottom, you will get horrible lumps of burnt caramel running through the mixture. When it turns a light caramel colour & becomes thick. remove from the heat and keep stirring briefly just to stop it from catching on the bottom.

Pour the thick mixture over the biscuit base, spread evenly and set aside to cool. Whilst the caramel is setting, make the topping.

Break the {@0:} into pieces and chop roughly. Either in a microwave or in a glass bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt gently & stir until smooth and shiny.

Break the Milk Chocolate (200 gram) into pieces and chop roughly. Either in a microwave or in a glass bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt gently & stir until smooth and shiny.

Pour this over the caramel layer and smooth it out evenly using the back of a wooden spoon.

Allow to set completely at room temperature. Alternatively, if you are impatient, put it into the fridge to set faster before removing from the tray and cutting into 12 slices. Store in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within 5 days.
