Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhang for easy removal.
- Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a double boiler, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Sift cocoa powder and sugar into the melted chocolate mixture, whisking until fully incorporated and creating a rich chocolate base.
- Press the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared pan, creating a compact, smooth layer.
- Bake the chocolate base for 10-12 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, and golden syrup.
- Cook the caramel mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly for 10-15 minutes until it thickens and turns a golden brown color.
- Pour the caramel layer over the cooled chocolate base, spreading evenly and smoothing the surface.
- Refrigerate the slice for 1 hour to set the caramel completely.
- Melt milk chocolate and white chocolate separately using a double boiler method.
- Drizzle and swirl the melted chocolates over the caramel layer, creating an artistic pattern.
- Sprinkle caramel chips and crushed honeycomb over the chocolate topping for added texture and crunch.
- Chill the slice for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate topping.
- Remove from the refrigerator, lift out of the pan using parchment paper, and slice into squares.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the decadent layers of chocolate, caramel, and crunchy toppings.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate and butter are melted gently to prevent burning or seizing, using low heat and constant stirring for a smooth, glossy texture.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with almond or coconut flour in the chocolate base to maintain the rich, fudgy consistency.
- Control caramel thickness by monitoring heat carefully, stirring continuously to prevent scorching and achieve a perfect golden-brown color without burning.
- Experiment with different chocolate varieties like dark, milk, or white to customize the slice’s flavor profile and create unique taste combinations.
