This low-cost, easy caramel slice ‘make-over’ recipe, is a great way to get the kids baking. This recipe is not only lower in sugar, saturated fat and energy than traditional caramel slice, it tastes amazing! It's guaranteed to be one of the family favourites.
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a 20cm x 20cm slice tin with oil and set aside.
2 Thoroughly combine flour, melted spread, sugar and oats in a bowl. Press mixture in prepared tin and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
3 Spread caramel over cooked base and return tin to oven for 15 minutes or until caramel is firm and starting to bubble and brown.
4 Remove slice from oven and cool. Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over boiling water and melt, stirring, until completely smooth. Drizzle or spread over slice then refrigerate until set.
Before cutting slice, dip the knife in hot water – it stops the chocolate from cracking.

This is far from healthy
Thanks for your comment. A healthy diet includes treat foods. Our view is, and the evidence shows, eating patterns that are too restrictive and don’t allow for any foods people enjoy having as a treat are not sustainable or sociable, and often pull people into an unhealthy diet cycle or disordered eating patterns. The dessert and sweet recipes we create are lower in sugar, energy and saturated fat than traditional versions and often higher in fibre, too.
Totally agree, if you don’t have treat now and again, you will go off the track and it is so hard to get back on it. I enjoy my treats and look, forward to them
