Expert Tips and FAQs
You need to tell people how good this Caramilk Slice is, because from outside appearances they won't believe you! But then they will be begging for the recipe!
Under lock and key. Or it will vanish from the fridge. And that not because it looks good, it's entirely because it tastes so amazing.
Go ahead. The butter in this caramilk slice can be swapped for coconut oil. The sweetened condensed milk can be swapped for coconut sweetened condensed milk. But I have no idea what you can sub the caramilk for, sorry.
