Equipment

  • 1 slice tin (18 x 28cm approx)

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  • 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.
