WCW- Oaty Caramel Slice

Winter always means, to me anyway, a hot cup of tea and a delicious treat on the side after the kids are in bed and my favourite show is on.

This Otay Caramel Slice is full of gooey, decadent caramel and a crunchy, chewy base. The chocolate icing on the top gives this a sweet flavour and helps to cut through the filling. Perfect for winter nights and just as welcome in the school lunchbox in smaller slices.

I recently won a Chelsea Sugar pack, and so the chocolate icing, icing sugar and soft brown sugar are the perfect ingredients for this slice.



The base has a secret ingredient- rolled oats- which gives the base a nice texture.



After the base has been cooked, it is time to add the layer of caramel and then the chocolate icing.

A generous layer of caramel and the textural base makes this slice chewy, gooey and an absolute delight to eat.
