World's Best Caramel Slice

I got the recipe for this Aussie classic from a Nestle promotional cook book from the local supermarket.  It lived up to it's name so I thought I'd share.

Mix 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/2 cup dessicated coconut with 125g of melted butter.  Press into a 20x20 prepared square cake tin and bake at 160 C fan forced for 15-20 minutes.  Meanwhile, melt 100g of butter 1/3rd cup golden syrup and 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk over low heat.  When the biscuit base is cool, tip the mixture in and bake for another 20-25 minutes.  Cool and top with melted chocolate.  Refrigerate until set and slice.
