This slice is also lovely using walnuts or salted peanuts. You can swap the nuts for chocolate chips instead, if you prefer. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for an afternoon treat.

Description
Brighten up your afternoon cuppa or weekend picnic with this easy and decadent caramel slice recipe with a twist of shortbread from Jacqui in QLD.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. Grease a 20 x 30cm (3cm deep) slice pan. Line with baking paper.
Step 2 of 4
Stir butter, condensed milk and syrup in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Set aside to cool.
Step 3 of 4
Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Add melted butter and vanilla, and stir until combined and a stiff dough forms. Press two-thirds of the dough into pan, reserving remainder (if it’s a warm day, keep the remainder in the fridge until needed).
Step 4 of 4
Pour milk mixture over base and smooth top. Scatter over nuts. Crumble reserved dough over nuts. Bake for 40 minutes or until edges turn a rich caramel colour. Cool completely before cutting into 24 squares.
