and Caramel Biscuit Bites

Caramel Biscuit Bites

Recipe from 'The Australia Women's Weekly Chocolate Cookbook'

I normally don't repeat myself when it comes to recipe because like to try new recipes and tastes. But there are occasions when I revisit an old favourite. It might be because it is a simple recipe I know off by heart and can make in a flash, or it could be requested. This recipe was request by a colleague for a morning tea at work. Also it is extremely easy to make.

Add in almonds. Again, you can chop into smaller

pieces if you like before hand.

Stir until coated.

Pour in to prepared pan.

Pour over chocolate topping.

Cut after refrigeration.

Very chunky.

Serve!

The golden syrup is the magic ingredient in this recipe. It creates the rich caramel flavour and makes this recipe a real winner. I can always judge a recipe by how many people request it again or ask for the recipe. This little beauty had several requests and as you can see, it is very easy to make.

Happy baking!

Until next time.
