Base
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 125 grams butter, melted
- 1 egg (lightly beaten)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups SR flour, sifted (or 1 ¼ cups flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder)
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
Filling
- 300 grams chocolate (dark or milk or a combination of both)
- 395 gram tin of condensed milk
- 30 grams butter
- 120 grams pecans, chopped (1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Grease a slice tin and line with baking paper, leaving excess on the sides to lift out slice once set.
Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius, fan-forced).
Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl.
Add sifted flour and oats. Stir to combine.
Place about ⅔ of the mixture into the slice tin. Press into tin evenly using the back of a dessert spoon or fingertips.
Make the filling by combining the chocolate, condensed milk and butter in a saucepan and stirring over low heat until chocolate has melted, and then adding the vanilla extract and nuts and stirring to combine.
Spread the filling evenly over the slice base.
Sprinkle teaspoonfuls of the remaining base mixture over the top of the filling.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the top has turned a golden brown colour.
Allow the slice to cool in the tin.
Remove from the tin using the overhanging baking paper and place into fridge for at least 2-3 hours before cutting into squares using a sharp knife.
