3. Do the drop test to see if the caramel is ready to use. To do this, you will need to do the following.

Scoop a blob of caramel out of the pan using a teaspoon and drop it into a sandwich tin of water, if you can push the caramel into a ball and it holds its shape it is ready to take off the heat. If it is stringy and will not yet form a shape, then boil for a little longer and repeat the test.

4. Once ready beat with a wooden spoon to thicken slightly.

5. Now carefully pour the caramel filling over your biscuit base in the tin.

Step 3

CHOCOLATE TOPPING
200g/8oz of Chocolate of your choice Dark/White/Milk or Orange Chocolate

Chocolate Topping Method
1. Break off chunks of chocolate and place them on top of the hot/warm caramel, which will cause it to melt.

2. Then take a cocktail stick and create a swirl/marble effect by dragging the stick through the chocolate while still wet. Pour on top of the caramel and swirl for marble effect or just place small pieces of chocolate on the warm caramel and it will melt itself.

4. Ensure you bring the finished biscuit back to room temperature before slicing and eating; otherwise, the caramel will be very hard.
