So, I went home recently and was trying out a few new coffee
places. And all of them were serving these flapjack looking caramel chocolate
creations. They were called labelled “caramelitas” and I’d never heard of them
before. I obviously bought one to try, and then immediately decided that I had
to make my own. We’re basically talking a sugary crumble bar with chocolate and
caramel filling.
Buuuut the amazing thing about this is that you can make a
load of different types based on what you like and what’s in the cupboard.
Here, I’ve made the basic chocolatey caramel ones (with coconut!) as well as some nutty ones
with hazelnuts and Nutella sprinkled in. I’ve also made them recently with
coconut added to the caramel and chocolate, and also spiced ones with Lotus
biscuit spread and cinnamon powder.
This recipe makes two full trays of biscuit-y, caramel-y,
chocolate-y gooey goodness. Feel free to halve it if you don’t feel like
gorging on dozens of these things. You crazy person.
