Notes

I am a passionate chef by trade with a strong passion for baking sweets. This gluten free caramel slice is one I have created on my own from my kitchen. It's absolutely moreish so all you sweet tooths beware! Enjoy! When cutting the slice make sure you have a hot knife so it makes a nice clean cut.

Thanks for inducing this GF recipe. It’s always good to have a few GF recipes up my sleeve as we have friends who are intolerant, so this will be perfect the next time they come for morning tea.
