Caramel Slice

I made a Caramel slice the other week, that was from a packet. I was a bit disappointed in it, and felt it was certainly not anymore convenient that making the real thing. One thing I have never liked about making Caramel slices is boiling the milk in the can in the saucepan. I know that is dangerous, plus I never wait long enough for it to cool before I puncture the can. So today I went hunting for a recipe and I found this one on the Nestle site. I made it, it was quick and easy. The kids can't wait to try it. I had a piece for supper, it was delicious.
