METHOD

• TO MAKE THE BASE, MIX TOGETHER WET INGREDIENTS AND THEN STIR IN DRY, PRESS INTO A LINED LOAF PAN (I USED A SILICONE PAN)

• WHISK CARAMEL INGREDIENTS IN A BOWL UNTIL SMOOTH AND SPREAD OVER THE BASE AND POP INTO THE FREEZER TO FIRM UP SO THAT YOU CAN SLICE IT

• ONCE CARAMEL IS SET, CUT INTO PIECES

• MELT AND STIR TOGETHER CHOCOLATE INGREDIENTS, POP INTO THE FRIDGE TO COOL, STIRRING EVERY 5 MINUTES TO HELP THICKEN THE CHOCOLATE

• USING TWO FORKS, DIP AND TURN ONE PIECE AT A TIME IN THE CHOC TO COAT ALL SIDES, DRAIN THEM BEFORE PLACING ON A LINED TRAY, THEN POP INTO THE FREEZER TO SET

* YOU COULD MAKE THESE INTO SILICONE MUFFIN PANS OR CHOCOLATE MOLDS SO THAT YOU DON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT SLICING

* YOU COULD USE RICE MALT SYRUP OR MAPLE INSTEAD OF BOTH FOR THE CARAMEL, I WAS JUST RUNNING LOW SO HAD TO USE SOME OF EACH!
