If you ever feel like baking it up one day, this is the winner recipe. A labour of love, but one of the best caramel treats you could ever have.
Caramel slice is heaven in a mouthful for caramel lovers. There are a few layers to make but it's worth it - it lasts so long as they are sweet and only need a little piece at a time to be happy.
It tastes just as you hope it would.
