Week 3: Caramel Squares

Ingredients	Equipment
125g flour 50g cornflour 50g caster sugar 100g HARD butter 2-3 drops of vanilla essence 1-2 cans of condensed milk 200g milk chocolate	Ingredients tray 2 plates Cutlery tray Large bowl Sieve Round tin Wire tray Spoon rest

Method

The week before cookery:

1.     Immerse 2 cans of unopened condensed milk in a pot of boiling water with a lid on it. Boil & simmer the cans for 3 hours. Make sure the entire can is covered in water, if not just top up with boiling water from the kettle.  After 3 hours remove from water & leave to cool (its best to do 6 cans at a time as you don’t want to waste fuel & they last for months unopened)
