Peanut butter caramel slice ...is there a more enticing combination? Crunchy or smooth peanut butter is up to you! It's a classic, we’ve given it a kick-start with a little inspiration from a well known chocolate bar.

Method
- Blitz the flour, caster sugar and 200g of the butter, cubed, in a mixer until it forms a dough. Tip out onto a work surface and knead quickly to ensure it has come together and press into the baking tray. Chill for 15 mins.
- Heat the oven to 180C/ Gas 4. Remove the base from the fridge, prick all over with a fork and bake for 20-25 mins oruntil golden.
- Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan with the dark brown sugar. Then mix in the condensed milk and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring continuously, for 5 mins or until thickened, then mix in the peanut butter and stir well. Pour the caramel over the base and leave to set.
- Once set, melt the chocolates separately. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel then drizzle the milk chocolate over the top, and swirl through with the end of a spoon handle. Scatter over the peanuts. Leave to cool, remove from the baking tray and cut into small triangles.
