Chocolate Caramel Squares

During the time I lived in England, I avoided much of their local cuisine as I never had a particular fondness for pig’s blood let alone it being congealed into a pie or sausage. Having said that, I did have a weakness for their baked goods. I must admit, English do make very good puddings and I suspect it has something to do with their love of having daily teatimes. Something’s very well got to be served with their cuppa. And by doing so they’ve managed to come up with a variety of delicious biscuits, cakes and other delectable treats.

I am particularly vulnerable to anything chocolaty so it is by no means surprising that I fell head over heels for Chocolate Caramel Squares. To put it simply, these treats are decedent – a layer of semi-sweet chocolate on top of a layer of gooey rich caramel on top of a layer of malty wheatmeal biscuits – what else could be more heavenly!

We have the unique fortune of owning a very talkative cat.
