This Caramilk Slice is the ultimate sweet treat for any Caramilk lover! Smooth Caramilk fudge with crunchy biscuit pieces and flakes of Caramilk Twirl, you'll have trouble stopping at just one piece!
Line the base and sides of an 8” (20cm) square cake tin with baking paper. I use two long strips, crisscrossed, letting the paper overhang on the sides so the slice can be lifted out easily.
Roughly chop the Caramilk twirls, place them in a bowl and pop them in the freezer. This helps stop them from melting later when we add them to the slice mixture.
Lightly crush the biscuits. I just do this with my hands as the ones I use crush easily, but you can put them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin if you prefer, or use a food processor.
Place condensed milk and butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl or jug. Microwave on high power for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second bursts, until butter is melted. You could do this in a saucepan over low heat on the stove, if you prefer.
Stir in the chopped Caramilk chocolate. Microwave on medium power in 30-second bursts until the chocolate is melted. Set aside to cool slightly until no longer hot to the touch.
Optional: Use an electric handheld mixer to beat the mixture for a couple of minutes. This helps to cool it, and also makes the fudge a bit lighter in texture.
Add the crushed biscuits to the mixture and stir until well mixed. Then add the chopped Twirls, leaving out a small handful to decorate the top, and stir gently to distribute them evenly.
Pour or spoon the mixture into the prepared tin. Smooth the surface, and top with the reserved Twirl pieces. I like to crumble them up a bit more with my fingers.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until firm. Cut into pieces. Store in an airtight container - between layers of baking paper - in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
Biscuits - You can use any of your favourite plain or flavoured biscuits for this recipe. To make it gluten free, use gluten free biscuits.Twirls - If you can't find Caramilk Twirls, then regular milk choc Twirls, Flakes, or even some chocolate chips would also be great alternative additions.Butter - I prefer to use salted butter in this recipe as the salt helps cut through the sweetness. If you only have unsalted butter, then I recommend adding a pinch of salt to the butter + condensed milk mix before you microwave it.
