Soft Caramel Slice
1/2 pkt ginger nut biscuits
1/2 pkt scotch finger biscuits
2 tablespoon Butter; melted
395g sweetened condensed milk about 3 cans
250 g dark chocolate
1. Preheat the oven to 160C. Line a 24 x 30 baking tin with baking paper. Crush the biscuits in a food processor and stir in the butter. Firmly press the biscuit mixture into the tin and put in the fridge for 10 minutes to harden. Pour over the condensed milk and place in the oven until the caramel turns a lovely brown. Remove and set aside to cool completely.
2. Melt the chocolate and pour over the cooled slice. Refrigerate to set. Cut into squares to serve. Dip a large knife in hot water to make slicing easy.

Apparently with choc ripple cake my nan used to slightly soak the bikkies in orange juice to give the cake a jaffle sort of flavour - just a thought if you're feeling a bit fancy.

Chocolate Toblerone Mousse.

OK - so the easiest cheaters recipe ever, but extremely yummy

1 x larger sized toblerone chopped (Can't remember the size but the one thats around $10)
1 x pack White Wings Chocolate Craze Instant Mousse
2 x cups full cream milk.

Pour milk into a bowl, sprinkle packet of mousse over the top - whisk or use the mixer to blend together for approx 2 minutes (I was too lazy to get out the mixer & did it with the whisk - it worked fine )

Fold through 2/3 chopped toblerone.

Pour into dishes (I bought the plastic martini glasses at coles), put in the fridge.
It says it only takes 5 minutes to set but I left it for a few hours for when the boys came home from work.

To serve, a spoonful of whipped cream & sprinkle the remaining toblerone over the cream...... YUUUUUUUUM

I had another go tonight with 3 crushed peppermint crisps & it was yummo

All up it took less than 15 minutes, & 10 minutes of that was chopping the toblerone, lol.
