Ingredients
For the Base:
- 200g (7 oz) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 100g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
For the Caramel Layer:
- 1 tin (397g or 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 100g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 100g (1/2 cup) light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup or corn syrup
- 100g (1/2 cup) Biscoff spread
For the Topping:
- 200g (7 oz) milk chocolate, chopped
- 50g (1.75 oz) Biscoff cookies, crushed
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Base
- Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) square baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of the prepared tray, creating an even layer. Chill the base in the refrigerator while you prepare the caramel.
- Create the Caramel Layer
- In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Cook until the caramel begins to bubble and thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Biscoff spread, mixing until the caramel is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the caramel over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let it cool to room temperature.
- Make the Chocolate Topping
- Melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel layer, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Add the Finishing Touch
- Sprinkle the crushed Biscoff cookies on top of the chocolate layer while it is still soft. Press the crumbs gently into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
- Set and Slice
- Chill the traybake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
- Once firm, remove the traybake from the pan and cut it into squares using a sharp knife. For clean edges, warm the knife slightly before slicing.
Tips for Perfect Results
- Storage: Keep the traybake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Serving: Allow the squares to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
- Substitutions: Replace digestive biscuits with graham crackers or any other plain, sturdy biscuits you have on hand.
- Topping Variations: Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate over the top for extra flair, or mix some crushed nuts into the chocolate layer for additional texture.
