Ingredients

  • 115 grams butter
  • 225 grams brown sugar (1 cup + 1 tablespoon)
  • 395 grams condensed milk (1 tin)
  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup

Instructions

  • Grease a slice tin (approx 27 x 17 cm).
  • Add all ingredients to a saucepan.
  • Heat slowly over low heat to melt butter and dissolve sugar.
  • Increase heat a little if necessary to bring to a slow simmer.
  • Simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • The mixture should thicken and become darker. It's ready when the mixture is a dark, almost chocolate colour and comes away from the bottom of the saucepan as you stir it.
  • Pour mixture into the greased tin.
  • Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes and then score using a butter knife (to create 11 x 7 rows). Once completely cool you can break into small squares along these lines.
  • Store in an airtight container.
