Salty Peanut Caramel Slice

This is the kind of slice that disappears very quickly once you put it on the table. You’ve got a rich caramel layer, plenty of salty peanuts, and a smooth chocolate topping, so it’s got that sweet-salty combo people go mad for.

It’s also nice and simple to make, which is always a win.

Why you’ll love it

The caramel is rich and buttery, the peanuts give it that salty bite, and the chocolate on top finishes it off beautifully.

Handy tips

Keep the caramel at a gentle boil and stir it regularly so it doesn’t catch. Spread the chocolate gently over the top.

Serving ideas

Serve it straight from the fridge once it’s set and sliced into squares.
