    • supermarket slices are often full of added chemicals and colourings etc…
      This one is quite straightforward and totally delicious! Thanks for putting it on here Helen.

  1. I made this as per recipe usually I would have baked the base first but this recipe said to chill and bake with the caramel on consequently the base rose up into the caramel and its ended up not a slice but a sloppy mess. I followed the recipe exactly which I dont usually do.

    • Hi Angelique, I assure you the recipe does work, was your topping warm? If your topping and base are both cool then the topping will stay as a separate layer. It is a chocolate version of tan square which has been made for years without problems and that too has the topping on before the base is cooked. It is always so disappointing to have a failure but please don’t give up as it is delicious.

      • I’ve never had a slice fail before, yes I completely cooled the base in the fridge and waited for the topping to cool before I put it on top.

  2. I’m new to Foodlovers. Can see I need this website now that I have retired and now have more time to bake and preserve.
