In honour of Fairy Bread Day which returns this November 24, we are sharing with you this Fairy Bread Caramilk Slice recipe.
Melbourne’s confectionary company, Dollar Sweets, has raised over $62,000 in the last two years for leading digital youth mental health service, ReachOut, through this initiative.
On November 24, Australia is urged to gather round the quintessential snack and donate to the organisation.
Fairy Bread Caramilk Slice
Makes 16 serves
Ingredients
150g plain flour
110g brown sugar
50g desiccated coconut
185g butter, room temperature
80g Dollar Sweets 100’s and 1000’s

Mini toasts spread with butter and sprinkled with 100’s and 1000’s, to decorate
Method:
Combine the flour, sugar and coconut in food processor. Blitz until combined. Add 125g of the softened butter and blitz to form a dough, then add 100’s and 1000’s and pulse until just combined. Press mixture into 11×7 inch lamington tin. Bake 180°C for 30min (leave the oven on).
In a large bowl combine remaining butter, sweetened condensed milk and golden syrup. Mix well then pour over base. Bake for 20-25 mins or until golden. Remove and cool completely.
Combine melted Caramilk and copha, pour over the cooled caramel and smooth with a spatula. Gently press mini fairy breads (made from mini toasts) into the surface then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until chocolate has set firm.
Cut into pieces to serve.
