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.
