CHOCOLATE CARAMEL BARS
With a buttery, coconut base and a thick, decedent filling lightly covered in a thin layer of dark chocolate, these bars are rich but incredibly addictive. They can be made a few days ahead of serving making them perfect for entertaining. I think they’re at their best when removed from the fridge a couple of hours before serving to soften.

COCONUT BASE
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut
- 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup melted butter
CARAMEL FILLING
- 2 x 10 oz cans sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup golden syrup or golden corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
CHOCOLATE TOPPING
- 5.5 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup butter
To make the topping:
Stir the chocolate and butter together in a small saucepan over medium low heat for 5 minutes or until the chocolate is almost melted. Remove from the heat and continue to stir until the chocolate and butter are melted. Spread the warm topping over the cooled filling. Let stand at room temperature until cool. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours or until cold.
Using the paper, carefully lift from the pan. Cut into 32 squares to serve.
