For the base
- 75 g unsalted butter, melted, plus extra to grease
- 200 g Oreo Biscuits
For the caramel
- 25 g unsalted butter
- 200 g condensed milk
- 125 g smooth peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp. golden syrup
For the topping
- 75 g dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- 75 g milk chocolate, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp. golden syrup
- 50 g salted peanuts, roughly chopped
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160° fan) mark 4. Grease and line a 20.5cm square tin with baking parchment. Make the base: whizz the Oreo biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed (alternatively bash them in a food bag with a rolling pin). Add melted butter and whizz/mix to combine. Press firmly into base of the lined tin, levelling with the back of a spoon. Bake for 10min; set aside to cool.
- Step 2For the caramel, heat butter, condensed milk, peanut butter and golden syrup in a pan over low heat, stirring until fully melted and combined. Pour over biscuit base and spread to level. Leave to set at room temperature for 1hr.
- Step 3Once caramel has set, melt chocolates and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Once melted, pour over caramel and spread to level. Sprinkle over the nuts and chill to set.
- Step 4To serve, transfer to a board and cut into 16 squares.
