tills7, this one has to be most definitely my, and one of our family's, absolute favourites... . .

CARAMEL CRUMBLE
This slice is very like Tan Slice but just stirred together with no creaming of the butter and sugar. As its name suggests its topping is more crumbly but personally I like it better - to make and to eat! !

Caramel Topping:
½ x 395g can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp golden syrup
¼ cup brown sugar
55g butter

Mix all the topping ingredients together in a bowl over hot water for 5 minutes, then allow the mixture to cool slightly

Base:
1½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
114g (½ cup) sugar
½ tsp vanilla essence
115g butter, melted

Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl, then add the vanilla essence and the melted butter and mix to a fairly soft crumbly consistency. Press approximately two thirds-three quarters of this crumbly mixture into a greased sponge roll tin, then spread the caramel topping over. Sprinkle over the remaining crumble mixture.
Bake at 180ºC for 20-30 minutes.
Allow to cool then cut into fingers or squares. :-))

Coconut Ice cake
basically it is a chocolate base with a pink fudgey coconut ice topping. Not rocket science but oh so good
