Caramel hedgehog is a delicious variation on the original chocolate hedgehog, making a caramel to mix through the broken biscuits, so easy and yummy to make, freeze it in portions for lunchboxes or an unexpected visitor.
A no bake slice that is ready to eat in 2 1/2 hours that is a firm favourite with all.
Caramel Hedgehog
Caramel Slice
Ingredients
- 1 Pkt Marie biscuits
- 1/2 Cup Biscuit crumbs
- 125 gm Butter, melted
- 1/2 Can Condensed Milk
- 1 Tbsp Golden Syrup
Topping
- 200 gm Milk Chocolate
- 1 tsp Vegetable Oil
Instructions
- Line a slice tray with baking paper.
- Break up biscuits into small pieces placing in a large bowl (I like to do this by hand)
- Combine butter, syrup and condensed milk in a saucepan, slowly bring to the boil cook a couple of minutes stirring constantly until a thick caramel. (or do this in microwave on high 1 minute, stir, then in further 30 second increments until thickened and caramel)
- Add caramel to biscuits and biscuit crumbs, mixing well.
- Press into the lined slice tray smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
- Melt chocolate for topping (I do this in the microwave 1 minute on high then in 30 second bursts until melted, stirring well after each time in the microwave)
- Add oil to the chocolate and stir well, pour over slice and spread to cover.
- Refrigerate until set approximately 2 hours.
- Remove slice from fridge 30 minutes before cutting to stop the chocolate cracking.
Notes
Slice freezes well.
Great for morning/afternoon tea, lunchboxes etc.
A great variation to chocolate hedgehog.
