Method

  • 1.
    Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line base and sides of a 20cm x 30cm x 3cm deep, straight-sided rectangle baking pan with baking paper. Line base with crispbreads in a single layer.
  • 2.
    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over a medium-low heat. Once melted, reduce heat to low and stir in sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and then cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes or until mixture slightly thickens. Carefully pour hot mixture evenly over the crispbreads in prepared pan and level surface.
  • 3.
    Transfer to oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until caramel becomes thick, is bubbling and is a deep golden brown.
  • 4.
    Working very quickly and carefully, sprinkle over dark chocolate melts to cover the surface of the hot caramel evenly, then use a small heatproof spatula to spread over surface (the heat of the caramel will melt the chocolate). Immediately sprinkle with the nuts.
  • 5.
    Set aside at room temperature for 30-40 minutes or until set firm. Remove from the pan and crack into pieces. Serve or store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 1 week.
