- 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) corn syrup or honey (helps prevent crystallizing)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper (leave overhang for lifting).
Step 2: Make the Biscuit Base
Mix crushed biscuits, melted butter, brown sugar (if using), and salt until evenly combined.
Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Chill while you make the caramel.
Step 3: Cook the Caramel
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup (or honey).
Stir constantly for 8–10 minutes until thickened and golden. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
Step 4: Add the Caramel Layer
Pour caramel over the chilled base and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 45–60 minutes until set.
Step 5: Make the Chocolate Topping
Melt chocolate chips with butter (or coconut oil) until smooth. Pour over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
Step 6: Chill and Slice
Chill for 2–3 hours until firm. Lift out and slice into squares.
For clean cuts, warm the knife slightly and wipe between slices.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve chilled for clean layers and a firm bite.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-salty finish.
- Add a drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel for a “bakery” look.
- Cut into small bite-size squares for dessert platters.
- Pair with coffee or hot chocolate for an extra cozy treat.

- Chill overnight for the neatest slices and best texture.
